It's been about a month and I have made some more progress on the walls. The paint continued to peel away and I lost my Harley sign that took me three weeks to paint (and only a few hours to easily remove from the wall). I started on the back wall, then moved the Harley wall at the end...

Like many that have posted in this thread, I have been inspired. I have two benches in the garage now, a wood and a metal bench. I think I am going to sale them both, or give them away if needed, and start with a new idea. I want to make it about 13 feet long, possibly in two sections that bolt...

It sure did. And with almost no effort. Big paper sized sheets of paint just peeling off under the putty knife.

Yep, she helps me at every step of the way, on any project I have going, for the exception of welding. The mask doesn't fit her yet. The opposite wall is my favorite. My hope is to get it uncovered again so it will show once more.

Awhile back, maybe two or three weeks ago, I posted a few pictures of problems I was having with trying to paint my walls in the garage. I had a big LongHorn logo on the wall and managed to do a poor job of transforming the bland gray background into something better. Here were some of those...

Good ideas. I have heard "shed" loud and clear. I'm going to look for something in the backyard to get that lawn equipment out of there. I think that will clear out a lot of room. general stuff that is just unsightly.

I have a standard 2 car garage, but my home builder, Lennar, decided it a good idea to build a 6" "step" three feet in from the top of the garage. So, imagine this: Cars pull in from the door side. Three feet shy of the back of the garage is a 6" step that leads inside the house. So, after a...

It took me three weeks, off and on a little bit each day. I was between jobs at the time so took the opportunity to paint this one up. I'm a novice too. I just used a small print out on a piece of paper and used the paper as the "wall" to center it. I measured all distances from the edge of the...

Here are a couple of pictures of my "screw up" that resulted in vent holes. I was going to drill holes in the top that I could cover up to control heat, but ran out energy for this silly project after the sides didn't line up right. But, vent holes nonetheless. And here is a slanty picture...

Yep, those are my forward controls for my bobber I'm building. They are mounted now, but at the time I was messing with the grill project, they weren't mounted. The holes didn't line up with my frame so I had to drill them out a little. I did end up with some vent holes on the side of the grill...

Great site. Thanks for the link. ideas already flowing based on just 1 PDF. Sweet.

I am re-working my garage layout in an effort to make it much cleaner and workable. One of my goals is to "hide" my lawn mower, weed eater, gas cans, etc. My idea is to build a long workbench, one that stretches the length of the long wall in my 2 car garage. I would like to build it in such a...

Thanks Lawnman. The bar and shield is still displayed real proud, even though it's behind the welding bench now. The Longhorn, due to a painting mishap, is now gone. The whole wall is primed white. I'm still a Longhorn fan, even though I went to Texas State in San Marcos.

The rack is the handle for the lid. It's hollow in the hopes it won't get too hot to the touch. I went to Lowe's and got some barbecue pit paint. Withstands temps up the 3000 degrees or something ridiculous like that. Good flat black paint.

I was bored one day and decided to take on a silly project: A mini hot dog grill. Here are some pics:
