Single car garage in Indianapolis

[allinon72]

Here is the finished tool cabinet

 

[irregardless]

Looks awesome.

I always feel inadequate in these threads where people make their own cabinets and what not... was there a talk after "the talk" that my dad forgot to give me?

 

[LoRollinLS]

Cabinets look great. Almost too good to be in the garage!

 

[allinon72]

Not so sure about that but thanks!! My goal is to get good enough with cabinets so that I can make some kitchen cabinets.

This thread is popping my posting cherry on these forums. I've been a long time lurker, but I signed up today to check out some threads photos...then I stumbled on your 17 pages and finished them all.

I hope you don't mind but I will be stealing your cabinet/workbench/peg bourd/shelving idea....excellent work on all of that!

I can't believe the before and after from this place. When are you doing the flooring?

Can't wait to see more. Absolutely awesome work!!

 

[HSpencer]

Everything I said in post number 201 of this thread is still very true!!!

Keep up the good work!

Minor update today. I swapped out all my cheap white receptacles with USA made 20a gray receptacles. I also added a GFCI.

I had to register and post reply cause this post just made me LOL. I think I missed the talk as well m8.

Re: this thread, OK, Absolutely stunning and inspiring work! Makes me want to make money to own a house just so I can do up a garage like yours! Also made it quite obvious I'm a guppy compared to the yoda-garage-master here.

EXCELLENT! Another small Indianapolis garage convert here!

I certainly appreciate your efficient use of wall space. Where in town are you? I'm in Broad Ripple.

You should make a thread just on the cabinet making. I'd personally love to see more detail on it

 

[sakurama]

Real nice attention to detail. You've done a great job!

Ya got my attention on page 4 when ya posted a pic of a Ford sign...ya, I'm a little slow.

Just read some of the post and saw your 20a GFCI. I am wondering if you have the proper wiring behing that nice new plug?

 

[55cadillacking]

I was wondering the same thing. I had one of my plugs upgraded to 20a and it was a pretty significant job.

 

[BQuicksilver]

Isn't yellow (12g) Romex all you need for 20a?

I used to have a Mustang, now I drive an F150. I do not park anything in the garage.

Sounds like you probably had 14 gauge (e.g. white) romex in the wall which is only good for 15 amp. They had to run new wire (12 gauge, e.g. yellow) to give you a 20 amp outlet.

Yeah, should be fine.

Not all 12 gage is yellow. Any that I have ever ran has always been white.

 

[OnMy11Six]

I stumbled across this site on a google search, found this thread, and literally registered to say WOW. Amazing job!

 

[Scooter Scott]

I used to live in Broad Ripple as well...never did a job like this on my garage though!

 

[IONH]

Not all 12 gage is yellow. Any that I have ever ran has always been white.

e.g. = example
i.e. = id est (had to google for a reminder) which is translated as "that is"

e.g. meant yellow was the example I gave. Had I used i.e., it would have meant that it can only be yellow.

I agree with you that they should always verify the gauge and not trust the wire by color unless they put it in themselves.

Great looking shop! Do you have any details on how you constructed the cabinet doors? It looks just like what I want to achieve for some storage closets. I'm trying not to do the standard kitchen construction technique (border w/ thin ply in a dado) because I think it's a bit above the capabilities of both my table saw and my cabinetry skills, even though that's the look I want.

 

[B Mad]

What an amazing space

Job well done, great detail and effort

The inside panel is a piece of birch rabbited on the outside edge. The outside pieces are pine. I just glue all the pieces together and screw together with pocket holes on the back.

Wow what a great looking garage!

 

[JazRedGT]

Wow this is amazing work! The attention to detail is beyond me. I need to stop staring at the walls in my garage and actually start doing some work. LoL

 

[spoonsports86]

wow love the use of the small garage space. also like how yo built all the cabinets instead of buying of the shelf ones looks great

 

[chevazon]

Some great ideas here which I will be using in my new garage. Similar paint scheme to my present garage.

 

[Wrench80]

There are a ton of ideas i will be borrwoing for my future garage....That looks amazing!!!

 

[macgee]

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

Hey, Quick question

I noticed in one of your post your set of drivers. How much do you like your Wera's and Williams, seem similarly priced? Which one do you prefer between the two?

 

[CheckeredFlag]

super nice job

 

[oxmanwi]

Very nice job! Great looking Ford garage for sure.

 

[kered]

Just spotted a link to this garage build on another thread & just had chime in here with my compliments to you allinon72

An absolutely outstanding transformation. Your use of the space available & your imaginative & tasteful solutions & ideas are an example for us all to follow

Now one of my favorite garages on GJ

 

[Ryan]

One car garages will always have a charm that our bigger shops just can't match.

 

[Vahispd]

I just read through the entire thread - a first class job. I especially appreciate the details and "do it right" attitude. Well done.

 

[quasi_accurate]

Really fantastic job on transforming your garage. Great use of your space!

 

[Bears Fan]

Great job!!! Just one question where is the mini beer fridge going? Awesome job!!!
