I completed the build on my shop in the spring of 2021. I have been using it for ~4.5 years. Long enough to consider installing a mezzanine. PROBLEM: I have in-floor radiant heat and DID NOT consider anchoring mezzanine posts when the heating tubes were installed. Therefore, I wanna just set the...

I saved these years ago off of Garage Journal. THIS is a mess: / / I did NOT note the source of these photos; so I don't know if "they" are still on GJ.' If so - sorry -- -- but the truth will out.

Not AI at all. Go ahead and chose a phrase from my post that you figure ought to be unique to my posting and search the forum for it. I have posted these notes prolly 6-7 times. Most people find it useful. But if this thread is dedicated to just windows and nothing else (as opposed to thinking...

My windows are about 4' tall and are 44" off the floor (measured from floor to bottom of window) My outlets are 55" from the floor to the screw that secures the plate to the wall Since you are in the planning stages, maybe these notes I compiled during/after my build will be useful. My shop...

Some notes I compiled after my from-scratch build. My shop was built to work on cars. My 2300 sq ft Hobby Shop is complete and I am working in it daily and still populating it with stuff. What stuff? How is it all gonna fit? Where’s it gonna go. What goes next to what? See below (sorry -- my...

I would like to see a sketch as well. In its absence allow me to provide a general answer; at least my shop is somewhat similar in size to your 50' dimension. My large room is 48' wide and 36' deep. Attached is a 24' x 24' room. The dashed yellow line = distributed compressed air lines. The...

Clean and organized -- good use of space. Great metamorphosis. I agree with Lou - 12-Gauge's garage is THE smaller, ultimate-use-of-space garage on Garage Journal. Lots to emulate. I must comment on the US flag on your back wall: the blue field filed with stars ought to be in the upper...

I picked up a flat drawer (AKA map or document cabinet) off CraigsList about 4-5 years ago. I then spent more than a few bucks on Schiller bins. The plan is to use this cabinet to hold general hardware and vehicle-specific items as I progress from project car to project car. I also picked up...

Since you are in the planning stage, maybe theses notes will help. My shop is for restoring old cars: I compiled these notes during/after my Garaj Mahal build. Looks like you have the main dimensions already set, but you may find some nuggets here (I have posted this several times here so if...

Since you are in the planning stage, maybe theses notes will help. I may have missed it, but I don't know the purpose of the build. My shop is for restoring old cars: I compiled these notes during/after my Garaj Mahal build. Looks like you have the main dimensions already set, but you may find...

I had a slope to deal with when I built my pole-barn hobby shop. My shop is 72 feet along the back wall and 48 feet deep. See below The high point is the upper left corner of the sketch - lowest is lower right: 7.5' height differential. // The gate on the now-gone fence line about equals the...

I continued my efforts to make assemblies and test-fit assemblies. This saves time later down the road as I’ll have fasteners, gaskets, washers, etc directly to hand. This rectangular housing received the two driver side carbs. The coolant runs through them to speed warm up of the enbine / /...

I also installed the stone guard in the nose of the bonnet / / I reassembled the headlight assemblies with new bulbs. / The hard part locating the replacements for the small bits for the unique bolt that is used to aim the headlights - one is mounted at 12 o’clock and the other at 3 or 9...

That brings us to early DEC 24. Paul and Jeff (two Jag-tech friends) were right on schedule to install the time serts in the two pesky head stud holes. Jeff brought a box full of special tools. I didn’t take any photos - I was chasing tools, stuff, and things for the rescuers, while prancing...

With the undercarriage spray thoroughly dried, I set about attaching some of the smaller bits: Torsion Bar Mounting Brackets / / Fuel Feed and return Lines from the boot (snaking around the IRS cavity) / / Now I can attach the fuel lines from the tank to the bulkhead fittings / / / / In...

In an effort to do as much of the restoration on my own (ego), my inexperience overcame my perceived “expertise” (Eye R no mekanik), I tried to rebuild the steering column on m y own - I tried to install the C-Clip on the end of the Upper Steering Column on my own. All the bits aligned in order...

In May 2024 I started installing small pieces that were easier to do with the engine out of the way. I’ll be the first to admit this photo doesn’t look like much. After all, all it shows is three brake lines attached to the 3-way. / The truly observant among you noticed the sliver of black...

Next I had success in reattaching the driver side and passenger side demister control cables. The driver side would have been much easier IF I had taken the time weeks ago to clean up the receiver and cable end on the bench rather than under the dash board. Also - test fitting the proper roll...

Time for an update. Gonna condense a year+ into a handful of photos I ordered fuel line kits from SNG Barratt for the boot and engine compartment. I was expecting rubber fuel lines with the original red stripe running along them. Got this (partially installed): Next step was on the opposite...
