Single car garage in Indianapolis

[G20-Budo]

I like. Nice job. When I look at what you've done, I realize how much of a mess I have..

I finally decided on a finish for the cabinets I built over the winter. Went with a honey maple gel stain and satin poly finish. It did not get quite as dark as I wanted. As an additional detail, I painted the rabbit in the doors blue to give some contrasting color.

If that is Birch ply you made those out of, good luck on getting them any darker. Birch does not like stain very well.

But other than that.....Super job The pinstripe is just enough that it adds some contrast. I gave away some nice wood cabinets to a buddy of mine that didn't have any storage place at all in his garage, plus I bout 18 of the Lowes special Gladiator sale that went on. At times, I sort of miss the wood cabinets I had. They were a little more storage worthy than the Gladiators. I may just change things out one day

2nd this!! You did a fantastic job. Great idea with the screwdrivers, too.

Got tired of my screwdrivers rolling around in my box so I made a holder

What did you make that out of?

What did you make that out of?

Pine, sprayed with plastidip to give a rubber type texture.

Cool, thanks.

I love the little detail, very subtle and distinctive. Way cool. I try to do the same to my vehicles, subtly outrageous.

I really like what you have done here. A great use of the space, and full of good ideas for garages of all sizes. It is obvious you take pride in what you build.

The shelf you put up by the garage door rail gave me a great idea for some much needed shelving for longer term storage. Thanks for posting it.

Looking sharp! Great job.

 

[WarrenJ]

You have been busy. I agree, the pin stripe adds to the cabinet.

 

[aps63]

Garage looks great. Love the screwdriver organizer.

 

[marty_p]

OK, it's obvious that you don't want to stop raising the bar here!

Just kidding; your shop is awesome!!!

Sweet holder, made out of wood or plastic bar stock? ... I have those foam ones that stick to the drawer of my cabinet. It holds but I been thinking I do not need something that holds them so tight. I like how yours is made.
Is it double taped down or screwed down?

Great job on the garage too !

 

[allinon72]

I made it from a scrap piece of pine. I sprayed it with black Plastidip to give it more texture. I cut the piece so it would fit snug in the drawer so I didn't have to physically secure it to the drawer.

This is a stellar, stellar garage. I applaud all the work you've done! How far away from the wall did you end up having to hang the cabinet to keep the cabinet door from interfering with the garage door track?

 

[allinon72]

It's about 8-10" away. The door still hits the track when fully open but still opens all the way.

 

[55cadillacking]

Still one of my favorite threads to follow. You never cease to make cool and practical enhancements.

 

[bimmerZ5]

awesome stuff!! it seems like there's nothing you can't do with some lumber and paint!!!

 

[cole_CT]

just read this whole thread and I must say WOW! You are a fantastic craftsman!

 

[HSpencer]

I continue being impressed with your garage. Everything looks really great.

Just finished 16 pages of this thread. Awesome job buddy! I just mentioned to my wife that people on this site are some of the most creative and talented I've ever come across..

 

[allinon72]

Another update coming soon - I started a build on a tool cabinet that will hang on the wall. It will house hammers, chisels, files, long screwdrivers, any other abnormally long items that fit awkwardly or not at all in my tool box.

 

[thechickencow]

Great buildup. Very nice.

 

[jwicker]

Nice makeover !
Made me so jealous that I hope to start my own thread tonight or tomorrow.
Very nice work!

 

[allinon72]

Here's what I have so far with the tool cabinet. It should provide quite a bit of storage (more than I was expecting). The fronts of the doors will be finished off like my other cabinet.

I have been following this thread and love the whole ford theme (haven't read every post do u currently own a ford? if so what?) and all your attention to detail. There is alot of great 1 car garages on here, but your is my favorite. Keep up the good work!

 

[allinon72]

That's a good question. Fords have been in my family for a long time. I've had 4 Fords; 2 Explorers, Mustang, and currently an F150.

 

[AvgPaul]

Great job!

 

[pindlepiper]

I just finished all 16 pages and I must say you have done a fantastic job! I am much like you when it comes to the aesthetics of things. Can't wait to see more!

 

[Derrickwade]

Good job on the tool cabinet.

 

[deejay77]

Just read through all of your thread and I have to say I will be borrowing some of your ideas and using them in my garage, I love the way you have been creative with your ideas in a small space .

 

[Zippercat]

Wow! Inspiring work. Can you tell us more about the work pad that was on your benchtop in a couple photos? Thanks for sharing!

Getting closer on the tool cabinet. The main box is hung and I'm working on finishing the doors.

 

[allinon72]

Got the doors finish sanded and hung. Now on to the finishing.

 

[andyaus]

Nice ! a hammer cabinet If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate

 

[Jethro80]

Great shop gaining inspiration from it thanks!

 

[cburnscrx]

You sir are an inspiration to all and let me say...AWESOME JOB!

 

[katotter]

The attention to detail is tops, LIKE.

 

[HSpencer]

Great job on the wall cabinet, and looks like it will be handy to your workbench.
