Thanks!Though I wonder if instead of brave,I'm plain stupid!LOL Snow's hit us harder than usual this year.So much for global warming!

Great workshop! Great use of old railway track.Pretty strong stuff. Whilst renovating our farm house,we found that a couple of the fire places had sections of track used as lintels.I'm using as much reclaimed material in my garage as I can too.Not because of green issues,more because I'm tighter...

Great job so far!:thumbup: Did it cost much extra to have the fiber reinforcement added to the concrete?I plan on using the material in my garage floor.Don't want to be hitting re bar when drilling to bolt down machinery. What's getting parked in there when it's finished?

Wow!What a place! Great looking building and looks like quality work too. Mark.

MC,thanks for the advice,much appreciated.The covering isn't as bad as it looks in the photos,just the glue has given up.I also plan on keeping as much of the original hardware as I can,even if it is a little rusty as it's going to be a 'working' toolbox. Good to know you ship overseas!:thumbup...

Fantastic garage Jack!Great use of space and clever storage solutions. I'm really taken with the bench with the curved front.That's given me some ideas for the bench going into my new garage.Thanks!

A while back,a friend was closing his engineering shop and sold me some of his stuff. Fly press-£50 48 inch folder-£100 48 inch sheet metal rollers-£100 Myford ML7 lathe and accessories-£125 Included with the lathe accessories was this old Gerstner tool box full of tools. It all needs a...

I believe Dean Moon started his business casting fuel blocks in his garage.

Yes,it does have the Gothic hinges at the rear.The early thirties date ties in nicely with the little history I know about it. The chest came along with an old Myford lathe which I bought from a friend.He bought them many years ago from the widow of the original owner,Alec Miller.Alec was a...

crowldog Thanks for the input.Checked inside the bottom of the chest,no markings.Lock is marked 'Gerstner & Co'.Found both web sites,some great info there.cheers.

You not been hit with the snow yet?Up to my **** in the white stuff over here! Great progress:thumbup:

Wow!Fantastic job.Looks the same as mine but in slightly better condition!LOL I plan to restore it one day. Any idea as to the age and model?

No probs,I'll get on the case!:thumbup:

Thanks mate!:thumbup:The building's pretty unusual for this area and it's age as it is brick built rather than stone and is cavity wall construction.I've never heard of cavity construction this old.The two leafs of brickwork being tied together with 14 inch long bricks. What pissed me off about...

A well deserved pat on the back for a job well done.Some great ideas,many of which I will shamelessly steal for my project!

Thanks Fred.Found plenty of previous bodges in the house,door openings with no lintels,rotten 9x3 floor joists repaired with 6x2's nailed to them and sitting on top of the laths,along with numerous other scary stuff!

Man,I type way too slow!:bounce:

To most of us on this side of the pond,that's a BIG garage.For years I had to make do with a 16 ft x 7ft lock-up! Wall mounted storage cabinets would be a good start to help free up floor space.Extra power outlets can be added as required so you don't need to run cables everywhere. Worth...

That's some size,mate!Looking forward to see it progress.

Hello and welcome from 'down the road a bit' in West Lothian.Nice set up you've got there.What about some pics of your 'toys'?
