slickgt1-- When I am in the garage, it looks "right." But, when I see a picture of it I see what you mean. Yesterday, I duplicated the "slat wall" (Gladiator GearWall) on the right side of the lathe. Can you see the clear Lexan sheet I put in back of the lathe as a splash guard? It keeps...

All-- I have a little more progress to report. The Gladiator GearWall to the left of the lathe is new. (I stole one of the three cabinets on the not-shown left wall for this picture!) Next, I will put GearWall on the right side of the lathe. I'll replace the stolen cabinet and also put one on...

slickgt1 and Stargeezer and All-- slickgt1, ha! I will NEVER be finished! :) More Gladiator cabinetry above-left and above-right of the lathe. Another 7-drawer roll-away to the left of the lathe. A 45" shelf behind the mill located above the v-belt transfer case. Another 45" shelf located . ...

All-- The lathe is finally in place! A little more cabinetry will be installed: 30" units hanging to the left and right of the lathe and probably another 7-drawer roll-away to the left of the lathe. I'll post pictures when they are in. --Bill

whatuusay1-- The floor is way-cool! That picture of Jim could easily be one that I took of him in my garage! (I am in Piper, right on Dub's Dread.) Jim Bjorgo does a great job. Immediately after installing my floor, he installed one for a friend of mine. One of my friend's neighbors saw his...

slickgt1-- You are right. :( Thanks for that idea. I'll try to do it this afternoon when the sun is not shining on the garage floor. --Bill

All-- Here is a 20 second video of my finished (shy of the lathe and kick/splash panel behind it) garage remodel project. --Bill

All-- Although I will add a lathe and some more cabinets along the back wall, the project is now pretty much complete. I learned a LOT by lurking on this forum and reading what all the smart guys did. Thanks! Finally, I really like the Gladiator product line. --Bill

jeff-- That's a good idea. Thanks for suggesting it. I will run it past SWMBO especially-when-it-comes-to-painting. --Bill

All-- Do these projects ever really get finished? :) The lathe will go on the back wall. I will install more kick/splash panel behind the lathe, as I have done with the mill, seen below. More cabinets will hang on the wall with the Gladiator GearWall/GearTrack assemblies. (In that area where...

All-- Here is the first wall with the Gladiator flooring installed as a kick panel. I will use the flooring on the other walls and raise it to four feet behind the lathe and on three sides of the mill, which sits in a six foot wide recess in the wall opposite the one pictured below. (Pictures...

Jim-- Very good point. It is THE reason I remodeled. My plan is to free up valuable floor space by shifting storage to the walls. If my storage requirements improve by 25% in so doing, I will be happy. Another thing that will help is the fact that I will only move stuff back into garage...

slickgt1 and All-- slickgt1, I decided to use the Gladiator flooring, shown above (and as you suggested), for the kick panel. A bunch of it should show up in a big brown truck in a few days. I'll install it one row high around the entire periphery. Behind the lathe and mill it will be four feet...

All-- I am unsure about my idea to use the Gladiator flooring as kick panel. I bought enough to experiment with. Would you go with the Gladiator stuff, which perfectly matches the Gladiator boxes, or with highly polished metal tread plate? The kick panel above is just propped against the...

a-fordable and tommyxgun and slickgt1 and machine_punk and SteelHorseHD and isaac338 and All-- All, thank you very much for the nice compliments!:) isaac338, hey! Login over at The Home Machinist and say some stuff! slickgt1, thank you for the guidance. I will remember it when I finally...
