My 2 car garage in Bee Cave TX

[dirt_dobber]

Well I've got around to taking pics so here how I get things done in my garage. The garage opens to the west and is terrible in the summer months.
I've tweaked this layout over the 20 years we have lived here.

Here is the main central portion and the workbench I call the BEAST. This is placed where I can access it from both sides. Very heavy and I put cheap stick on floor tiles that I replace annually. I keep my 30 year old craftsman compressor under and my Wilton Vice on is mounted on it.

Then the north wall is mainly for storage -

This area and the old craftsman desk/workbench is dedicated to hardware storage - nails, screws etc. And various hammers and mallets are hung on the peg board above it.

The east wall has my "quick grab" tools on the pegboard and also has my old soft drink bottle collection.

The south wall has my Lowes Kobalt work bench for small projects, gun cleaning and some drafting. It also has my old bb gun mounted for quick grab for my continuing war on squirrels and grackles.

this wall also has my 41" Husky tool box that has the "good tools".

This side of the garage also is where I park my Harley and the wife's Honda scooter.

But the center part of the garage is where most of the work gets done.
It has the Craftsman compound miter saw and Ryobi drill press on a wheeled work station I move around.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice looking garage / shop. Looks like you have made the most out of your space.

Nice looking work shop. How do you heat and cool it in the summer heat if you face the west ?

Looks good! I also have a garage shop. You seem to have more stuff than I do, and yet yours is way more organized than mine ever was, or ever will be.

Thanks for the motivation. I just got a HF lift in my garage which has motivated me to get super organized with mine. You gave me some ideas.

Very cool setup. You have used all your space wisely. The main workbench in the middle looks great and you have multiple workstations plus your collection neatly placed in there. Great shop!

Great looking space you have here. I hope to get mine half that clean this spring.

I love the personality you have created in here with the bottle collection and decor. Really makes it interesting.

Thanks! I collect old cola bottles - not buy them - even my 1923 Christmas Coke bottle was my grandfathers'.

He would rarely if ever need heat in central Texas. Very few garages are cooled here unless you add something like a spit or window unit.

Yes. 73 forecast for today and 83 tomorrow Feb.11 - got to love TX winters'.
But in all fairness to my northeastern neighbors who have blizzard conditions today - in the summer months the only garage times are 6am-11am after that the neighbors complain I am taking off too many clothes...
