I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we'll show off our garages and workshops. I'm in the process of building me and my friends new garage, since the last one I had burned down. Here's the old one: ![]() ![]() And then someone (not me) did some welding on a gas tank: ![]() ![]() Now me and my friend are working on getting a nice garage set up. We've already gotten a lift and a compressor, and now we're working on the workbench and a small storage space for tires and stuff. Large Ingersoll-Rand compressor I got for free: ![]() First iteration: ![]() Picking up the lift: ![]() Lift, chain hoist and a lot of stuff: ![]() The start of something grand: ![]() The progress so far: ![]() I'm still thinking about the lathe I can get for a song, but it looks like it won't be enough room for it if I'm going to have my project car there. So, show off your garages!

bolind posted:Hey, afen, I remember the burning garage. New place looks cool. Was that also you that had the Audi RS2? Yes, that's me. Thankfully the RS2 was at home! A hoist is the greatest thing you can have in a garage! At least you don't have to lie in the gravel outside ![]() I rebuilt the RS2s engine in my garage at home. A metre between the car and my tool chest, but I got it done! ![]()

It's done! (It's never done) Lighting and power outlets fitted, and some of my tools hung up. I've got most of my tools in my tool cabinet, and that's where they'll stay. ![]() ![]() Got the air tools organized: ![]() This photo was taken last Sunday: ![]()

bolind posted:afen, that looks very nice and inspirational. Cool with those relatively tall ceilings. More room for more junk. Thank you! I would like the ceiling to be a little bit taller so that I can max out my hoist, but beggars can't be choosers. It's almost impossible to find a place like this in my city that doesn't cost $$$ The place is pretty cold during the winter, and that sounds like a great tip! I'll look into getting some plexi for insulation. slothrop posted:what is the red car? I really can't place it 1974 Opel Commodore ![]()

The compressor is finally together properly. Bodged the HP piston ring install last time, so I had to open it up again to replace them once more. ![]()

Not much new with the garage. I got a refridgerator, but no I haven't found a good place to put it. Bought a new motor for the frankengrinder I got at an auction: ![]() Changed the radiator and fuel pump on MY GIRLFRIENDS S6: ![]() And I finally hung up one of the essentials in a garage (NSFW): http://i.imgur.com/nNGfqK8.png

Slung Blade posted:Holy gently caress I want that lathe. Shame it's got a little cancer on it. Doing a full restoration on it or just tidying it up for use? Just tidying it up for now. I think the worn paint looks cool. I haven't had the time to look at it due to work, but there's a new year coming!

Mr. Powers posted:Those are also cool, and buying them is more likely to happen than building a suspended rack. I thought about welding something like that up, but I had the wood and lumber laying around. Cage posted:Probably the ladder hanging on the wall that is no longer on the wall when hes sitting up there. Bingo! A bit more work than having the wheels on the floor, but worth it.
