    Yesterday I cleaned out the garage and pulled the Volvo in to get an idea of how much space I had for a lift. Looks like I have plenty of room despite it being a smaller garage.

    Not any updates to the garage but I finished a new prototype downpipe I just added to my small lineup. This is for a 2012-2016 Volvo T6. Fits S60, V60, XC60, S80. I’ll try to get some more pictures of other parts of the garage I haven’t shown. Till then, enjoy and thanks for looking.

    What’s the plan to connect the 2 garages together? I do exhaust work out of my small shop and maybe one day I’ll have a lift.

    Lights are all hung up and wired in. Don’t mind the layout, there are 13 LED’s total. I bought these guys off of eBay about 4 years ago and they are still holding up and bright as the day I got them. I bought some 9” extension so I didn’t have to make my own hence the reason the layout is so...

    I need this in my back yard. A lathe is my next big tool purchase after a new air compressor. I like the cabinet arrangement as well.

    Keeping an eye on this one. Bridgeport, lathe, plasma table, couple of welders, lifts. Sounds like my kind of shop. What kind of fabrication work are in you into? I own a small custom exhaust shop here in NC.

    I just moved from Charlotte to Winston Salem, NC. Got a new job welding, loving it so far. The new garage is a little smaller but it's about 3-4 feet taller so lots more over head room. This is what I get to work with. It's almost done to my liking. I just have a couple more things to...

    I decided not to run fixed air lines. No need in such a small garage.

    Went on a hotwheels shopping spree. I bought 50 in 3 days. They make a great garage wall art.

    Bought a new toy the other day. Harbor freight 20 ton press. Pressed out some hubs and wheel bearings. Works like a charm. Getting the rear suspension close to being done.
