A monumental leap forward in my eyes today. Electricity. :rocker: The shop had been powered by two extension cords, so the lighting was minimal and most everything was ran through a surge protector and shut off every night. I've worked in worse conditions so I made due but my uncle dropped by...

The Garage has been hard at work as a shop for me as I work to do a frame-up build on a 4x4, turbo diesel, mighty max. Recently I received an assortment of free items, this helped me leap forward a little in getting things done. The end result was; two chain hoists, a winch and a Ward 5455 Vice...

Coming along nicely! I'm over in mesa working on my garage too right now, that trip with the wagon looks awesome! I did the same thing last year, such a fun drive down the coast. We started in Bellingham Washington with a 1975 Mitsubishi station wagon that barely ran, had to get it running...

Things are starting to feel like a place of my own. I've got a number of tasks to complete, a long list really. But the budget is depleted and most of what im working on going forward will have to be incremental finishing things or i'll build stuff from free things. Speaking of free things...

Nice looking shop Roodwerks! I'm in AZ too building my garage right now but it's a little smaller and im the only one working on it so it's chugging along. Hey caddyman, I'm over in mesa too!

Second floor is done, put half of the roof on and had to take it back off to put the trim under it, oops. we're in the middle of the summer here in arizona so my work times are from 5/6am-7:30 and from 6pm-8pm, tough to get things done but im chipping away at it, hoping to knock the rest of it...

Minor updates, second floor is progressing. I used ten 4"x4"x10' studs and two 2"x6"x20 secured to the main uprights, then 20 2"x6"x14' spaced a foot apart for the supports, 5 are tied to the main upright beams directly, 15 are mounted to the pair of 2x6's that run the length of the building...

Shouldnt be, they plan to close the alley and give it to the residents. Thanks, I actually just got rid of my single owner VR4 to help fund the shop. Mine wasnt 600hp, more of a refined luxury sedan. I will miss it. It's something i threw together from the scraps of a few dead bikes, the...

Minor updates, material arrived, construction has started, I guess I lucked out with the weather, normally it's well over 100* here. lately it's been 90-105*, slight humidity and cloudy, still not ideal building temps, but way better than 115 and blaring sun every day. Everything fits on one...

Now that I'm finally settled in a long way from home and ready (or so I think) for my first garage build. I had plans to put a 20x40 building on the property, but the way code is set up around me and due to having a guest house, I’m limited on where I can do things. I ended up with a 20x14 slab...

Good morning everyone. I’m a long time reader, first time writer here. This is my first shop build; I’ve been renting my way through various extremes of garages over the last ten years and just recently completed a cross country move. I started life in the garage pretty young working with my dad...
