garage project progress...

[terabyte]

you can see some history here...

lighting is all messed up cause of taking a pic of a light at night but I installed an 8 foot 2 tube florescent right next to the lift horizontally. man what a difference this makes

way in the back left you can see I installed an industrial ceiling fan from HD
and I moved one light fixture but a lot of it was covered if the garage door was open so...

today I moved it yet again...

I put this little sucker up and i finally have tunes again...

I figure out a way to get old race tires up off the ground...

and I hung up my Michelin sign to cover up the mess that is the loft area...

The next easy thing to do is get one of those halogn work lights on a stand.
It makes the bottom of a car look like it was upside down at noon.

i already have a few of those but being south fla i try not to use them due to the heat..

Great idea - I ran flourescents along both walls at 6 feet. Definitely the most useful feature of my shop. I rarely have to use a trouble light or anything.

It looks like you are making good use of that overhead space.

this is where I started today

here is the new "toy"
I've been in love with this cabinet since i first laid eyes on it
bought with the craftsman club discount so it [look here]came out to $199 from the regular $330
I wanted to make something like this but at this price I simply couldn't not buy this

and what it looks like now!!!

all my electric powered tools, my powder coating gun and all my powders, all my paints and primers, oils, gear lubes, the works...
look closely under the cabinet unit. see my lil secret

i love this self... hello fab tools!!!!

teraDone!!!

I took the black shelves and put them in\on the loft and cleared up SO much floor space up there. I'll take pics of that next time. it was way too dark up there

the stuff on the old shelves that didn't go in the cabinet ended up like this and are now on the new over head shelves on the other side of the shop

until next time...

I know a good idea when I see it and I have no problems "borrowing" said ideas

i just had to play with one of my new toys.

and tonight's real progress...
support 2x4 is under the light. it has about 16 - 4inch screws going into the studs
2 lag screws going through each of the upper shelves
and a little "testing"

you get the idea... (with light off so you can actually see it)

and this is with the light on and actually the bulbs are out of the frame. the power of white walls

Where did you get this "helmet" rack? And what bike is the Power Commander for?

I saw that rack and wondered how long it will stay up there. Those little plastic button/caps that hold that system together don't hold much. It would be a shame to see all those helmets and the tunes on the floor.

they were a gift but I believe they were from here

maybe you like pink

I can't find the white ones on Target.com but I know they have them...

the power commander is for my GSXR "750"

as soon as the shop is done that bike is going to get a slightly bigger heart...

what do you ride btw?

 

[beardking]

Dang, I was REALLY hoping you were going to say it was for a Honda 919 and that you had a Sato exhaust laying around that you didn't need. As you might surmise, I ride a Honda 919.

Oh, on the storage units, how are they holding up to the weight of the helmets and the tunes?

LMAO! Those are great all around street\corner carving bikes. I need something more like a 919. Sorry but I only have Yammi and Zukes in my stable. Sato is DROOL!

I have only had them up like that about a week. Maybe less. So far so good. If you had ONLY helmets I would have no concerns about the cube unit at all!

 

[beardking]

That's pretty much all I'll have on it is my helmets and miscellaneous gloves and other light gear. Just need something better than the craptastic shelf I built and it needs to go over the coat rack that I have to hang my jackets on.

I've only had my 919 for about 2 months now and I had a 99 Nighthawk 750 for a little over a year before that, but so far, for me the 919 is the PERFECT bike. At least until I can afford to get a Speed Triple. Talk about DROOL.

I have my trailer finally all the way against the ceiling

I'm getting there..

[Torque1st]

Sorry but you will have to remove everything and start over!!!



























There is a speck of dust under that tool cabinet...


Looks good!
