Nice work. Here is mine: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21809&highlight=stool

Wow! Your application looks real sharp. Very clean and neat space.

Yeah. I started by doing that with some wire shelves I re-purposed from a closet I was redoing. It proved to be sturdy enough that I used it for my loft shelves too. Check it out: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22293

Update. Put up the second loft shelf a while back but just now got around to taking a picture of the finished project. They hold a lot more weight that you would think.

What part of town? Looking for shop mates?

Nice work. The paint on the walls really brightens up that space. Are you going to coat the floor with anything?

Love it, but, are you sure you have enough air compressor capacity? Maybe you should get a third huge compressor... :-)

Actually, some of these ideas are very cool, and creative. Not sure how I feel about keeping the Heineken label on them. I love the mini-keg, but wish I could get one full of Lone Star or Pearl.

I'm glad you explained what you are doing in the pictures. At first I thought I had been way to slack in the surface prep for MY floor coating.... :bounce:

I thought of that, and may eventually do that if I intend to load the shelf with more weight, but as is It it works for what I need it to do. If I need to beef that aspect of it up, I intend use some metal strap to connect the rod to the thicker wire that runs the horizontal length of the shelf.

Thanks, I thought about using a thinner gauge metal for the brackets. That would have been easier to bend, but as is those brackets are very solid, and I'm glad I went thicker on that.

The rod passes between the wires on the shelf, and I have nuts and washers on either side of the shelf that clamp onto the wire. Like this: A side benefit of this is that you can adjust the shelf up and down to get it level.

I am working in a 320 sq. ft. two car town home garage. So... space is at a premium. I have 16 inches total above the garage door, which I need to make use of. I previously re-purposed some wire shelves that I removed from a closet. They have proved to be quite sturdy. So I decided to use...
