I would like to build a 40s pickup as a mild Hot Rod. I want something I can pull a teardrop trailer to camp in. And tow the bikes. Our model A will be for meeting at the ice cream parlor, in and out burger, etc... Just to have fun. But, I want a vintage work truck. You'll have to posta...

So far I haven't done anything else in the garage. I had a scare with one doctor thinking I might need a total hip replacement. I just saw a surgeon last week and he said I need an Adductor Tenotomy. My injury is typical in soccer and hockey athletes. I was getting back into hockey when I...

Hey everyone, So I haven't made much progress. I am still in a lot of pain from my hip surgery, and I might need a total hip replacement now. So, that means I have to rely on my wife to help build. So, we got the bench built. I still have to add the plywood to the bench top. And I need to...

Your picture is beautiful. I had a vision of Burt Munro and his Indian for my wall. But, I am going to use a projector to get my image up. Then use what little artistic ability I have to make it come to life.

This is the best photo I have seen on any site dedicated to building things. I used to help my grandfather in the garage. I would have loved to weld when I was that little. This is parenting done right!

Okay, I did some more planning today. And I am going to be getting some 2x4s for free. I bought my house in a new development. Some of the 2x4s might have cement from the forms. But, that is what pressure washers and sanders are for. I had some cosmetic grade diamond plate from a previous...

Dubber, I am still scrolling through your 43 pages. I'm only on 11. I took today and decided on the layout. And now I just need some lumber. Lucky for me I bought my house in a new development. So next week I get free 2x4s that are left over. I will add the photos I took today and upload them...

I installed one diamond plate light. I am going to add 2 more. I also agree with more light. I want to remove as mush shadowing as possible. Similar to a surfboard shaping bay. I have plenty of space above the ceiling to add the outlets for a permanent solution. But, I only have 3 wall...

Okay, so here is how it sits as of 11pm. I laid out painters tape to get the placement of my wood motorcycle table. I can't afford a $600 lift table on an enlisted soldiers pay. I could if I didn't want to restore that Model A an the CB650. But, a wood table will work great. A guy is making...

The first thing we did was paint the floors. I used the rustoleum brand paint from home depot. It was a long but fairly simple process. I then added a diamond plate shop light. In the right hand side of the pictures with the bikes you can see the two sets of tool chests. I haven't decided...

Good evening everyone, So I've only posted on here to introduce myself. And I can say you guys are going to save me hours of stress. And give me hours on enjoyment just checking out the great shops everyone has built. So with that I thought I would show my humble little garage. So our house...

So, after work today I decide to check out pinterest. It has thousands of pictures of my dream garage. One of those pictures lead me here. How awesome is it that a picture leads you to the one place with the most knowledge. I bet it would take a quantum mechanics major just to figure out the...
