Well, I have come a long ways, and admittedly, I have worked on some of the fun pretty stuff, only because I haven't had the money to get into the real ******** shop equipment, like plasma cutter, press, etc... So if you see the 'cutout' that is on the side of the shop in the early photos...

So the long wall is 48' deep and the pop outs are all 8' deep. The one with the blue cabinets is 32'x8'... With 2x6" construction we are just under 1400 sq feet. I have some more storage I want to paint into the whole gray/blue/black theme and they will look nicer ... Appreciate the...

I have had my share of issues since the last post however its coning along slowly. I got passed my final inspection so that was a big sigh of relief as I can start moving my stuff in for real. The drawers that I have finally have taken shape. .any people think its one giant toolbox. It could...

i have 10 of these metal cabinets... They are all tan and all chipped up from years of use in a financial institution... Here is what one of them look like painted up. I'm going to have them in a couple stations, but most will be on the right side of shop (under nascar stuff), and a few in...

I have a 12x12 door with the side mount liftmaster and it's amazing. Super quiet, and like other people said, has the solenoid cam/deadbolt that keeps it secure. I like the slow start/stop option. Keeps your motor in better shape. Much cleaner install too. Had mine connected to my alarm.com...

You got it Jim... Arizona. :)

Lighting still not done as you can see one Fluorescent in back not lit up... When the metal halides are on you can barely tell if the flourscents are on or not, however it ads a little extra light when you are in those niche's... I was VERY fortunate that my wifey had some remodeling done where...

A few more as I slowly get more stuff moved in...I haven't started the countertops or my workbench yet.

He didn't follow the blueprints AT ALL...I just spoke with my GC and he knows how we'll fix it, just more time and $$$... Deep sigh...

CNG, I am hoping it's enough, although I am sure i will be adding more later, however I need to get past my final inspection in the next 2 weeks. I have a pretty inclusive 'wish list' for the electrical needs however I found to get what I 'wanted' would require a 200AMP subpanel, which would...

Just found this forum today, can't believe I haven't seen it before. Well, I am getting close to finally being able to move in and start organizing my shop, however I'll give you some history... Recently married, and we wanted to buy a property on the west side of town in a 'shop-friendly'...
