Gladiator/19th hole garage

[brown6555]

Been reading the site for sometime thought I'd finally share pictures of my 4 car garage. Mostly gladiator products. The ceiling is gray vinyl soffit. Kegerator built in to the fridge, 50 inch tv above. Yes that's a Christmas tree, you know make the wife happy get more toys. Thanks

Brown: I do like your garage. i almost bought a Gladiator fridge a few years back and should have. it looks like you need a few golf pictures, but your own golf cart works for me.

any plans to improve or are you just showing us you are finally done?

Nice collection of Gladiator cabinets and GearBoxes! My garage has a similar Gladiator theme along with some older CM boxes. Some of your base cabinets made into a useable work space have Gladiator-type doors but I don't recognize them as regular Gladiator products on their website. Same for the tool cart. Did you make some modifications to the standard Gladiator product?

 

[brown6555]

I'm pretty much done. Most of the picture around the top are golf related. Caddyshack movie poster, towels from different golf courses, etc. Here's some more pictures of my work bench. Table saw is built in, removable middle section for my chop saw.

Your garage looks great! How do you like the vinyl soffit on the ceiling?

 

[brown6555]

I used doors from gladiator cabinets for the workbench, then sold the rest as shelves. The legs are kreg brand kits.

 

[brown6555]

I really like how the ceiling turned out real clean and love the gray color.

Very cool garage. Looks like you were able to achieve a great balance between hang out pad and work area, while still being able to get cars in there. I'm not a fan of converting a garage into a space that can't actually get cars in, so this is perfect!

Very nice. Looks great.

Brown: now i see a few of your golf pictures and banners and you clubs are easy to grab from it's resting spot.

can you share the before, during and after pictures of that awesome table saw table with cabinets under it? very nice design and perfect work area for the miter saw too. did you ever think of putting wheels on it so you can roll it outside when you are cutting wood on it or do you have some sort of sawdust collection that i can't see?

Love it. Anyone who can hang both a Ford and a Camaro sign in their garage is a true car guy.

So what's the "fun" car that isn't in any of the pictures?

really clean

 

[vonhef]

I like the look.... nice job.

I'm loving the table saw work station in the center. I wish my shop was large enough to do something similar.

Nice! Why did you go with the vinyl soffit? Was there dry wall already?

I like the putting green shape for the bar table/stools.

 

[SBogaCH]

wow. very nice! how much was it?

 

[2nrguy]

Great use of space, how long did it take you to get the chop saw level with the rest of the table?

I wish I had taken pictures during the building stage but I didn't. I used Kreg products work bench kits. They have many different bolt locations, so they are very easy to use. I had to drill a few new bolt locations for the way I designed my table. Added the gladiator doors to the work bench using angle iron and L brackets. Painted the frame using a gray hammered paint.You can get caster sets that are made for the work bench's. I do have a dust collection bag that hooks to the bottom of the table saw.[URL="https://www.kregtool.com/store/c42/universal-bench-with-standard-height-legs/"]https://www.kregtool.com/store/c53/universal-bench-individual-components/[/URL]

Clean!

Yes another positive comment here, very nice and clean place. Very well organized

Yes I already had hung dry wall but I only taped the seams with a first coat so it wasn't completely finished. It was kind of a combination of not wanting to finish the dry wall and wanting a different look. I had finished a porch awhile back for my parents using the vinyl soffit, and just liked the look of it.

Great use of space, how long did it take you to get the chop saw level with the rest of the table?

It was very quick just some measurements then allowing for material depth when aligning the bracket kits.

Really Cool....

You obviously put a lot of time and effort into your garage and it really shows. Now, we just need to see it full of cars!

Right now I'm in between vehicles just sold my jeep. It had a 5 1/2 inch lift with 35 inch tires. Sorry for the picture can't get it to be right side up, must be a jeep thing.

I have thought about doing a workbench like yours to house my saw in, and you have given me a few ideas of how I might do mine.

One question though, what have you put on the benchtop surface to reduce friction when you are sliding sheets along it?

I used 1/8 inch thick hard board on top of two sheets of 3/4 inch plywood. The hard board is very smooth so things slide very easy. You just need to make sure you have no raised areas to hang up any material you are cutting. The nice thing is it doesn't cost that much so I can replace it as needed.

Brown: here's the picture of the Jeep a little easier for some of us to see. by the way what is your handicap and how often do you get to play?

EDIT: dang i tried to change the Jeep picture. it is saved upright on my laptop. maybe one of the younger guys can figure out the picture thing.

The jeep picture is weird its right side up in my computer, then when I did the preview it was up side down. So i flipped the picture to up side down in my computer and it still displayed up side down. I'm a member of the golf club that we live by so I play at least 2 times a week. Its cool because I can play a couple of holes or i can play multiple rounds. Just have fun golfing usually shot in the low 80's.

 

[drivesitfar]

Brown: since you mention 19th hole in your thread's title could you use any help with your game?

Among other things i was on the long drive golf tour in 2004 across the US and Canada in their senior over 45 year old division hence my handle for GJ.

Sounds like a pretty good life
