Great Garage Makeovers

[T1704]

I'd like to thank the GJ and Wood Magazine for the opportunity. Carl was great to work with and I still can't imagine how I made the cover with the other garages showcased in the magazine.

Guess I'm going to have to look harder - Lowes had none, & HD had what appears to be a previious issue - display till Feb 6 - for $12! Got it anyway - lots of cool shops & ideas - at least for the "wood" tools!

My local Wally World had a stack of the Mags

Congrats to everyone featured! Remember, send us your pics we are always looking to publish great garages in The Garage Slab. Spring issue hits the street April 4th!

It was an excellent magazine, and still reading it. It was how I was able to find this wonderful site and became a member a few days ago and overwhelmed with the vast amount of good information. I have already spent hours reading on here but have only been through a few threads as the first one I started was BB767's 1930's shop resto thread, excellent read, and would make an issue all in it's self!!!!

I bought my copy last night at Lowe's. It's sort of like a "Reader's Digest Condensed" version of this GJ web site, just without as many progression pics and as much commentary. Still, glad to now own a copy, and one day hope to get autographs from all of you privileged GJ featured designers!!!

Take it from me personally, Mr. Carl Voss and his editorial staff are very passionate about assisting us with our garage aspirations. Let's talk up this publication among our colleagues in order that we may enjoy future editions soon!

Ok, I finally bought my copy of the magazine today and it is very impressive....

BUT...

What the HELL is the deal with Nimrod's garage not being in that magazine? His garage ranks with any of the wonderful garages in the magazine and on this site. The only thing I can think of is; as we know, that his has been in some books and MAYBE he sold some kind of proprietary rights to photographs of it?

Those of you (above) who are new to this site, do yourself a favor and do a search on board member name, "Nimrod", you will be impressed.

As to the rest of you that made it into the magazine, HUUUGE congratulations. You have done what many of us (ME!) aspire to do with our garages. I am liberally stealing ideas from the mag and of course from this site.

I bought mine yesterday and it's a good issue! It's def motivation to go out and redo my garage. Thanks to the people who helped put this together.

 

[DaleJR88Fan]

I picked mine up last week. A treasure chest of information and ideas. Congrats to those on this forum that were included in this publication.

 

[wfopete]

Bought mine at Lowe's last weekend. It's a good rag but not as good as this site. You get ALOT more background, pictures and feedback here. But hey, it's only a magazine not a book!

I really only found a couple of new things that I found useful but that was worth the admission price of $7.

 

[fatboy99]

Wal mart in Fort wayne didnt have it wensday but had it last night also Meijer had it also for those of us in northern Indiana and Michigan. Was going to get the one with the wood working shop's also but they were gone

 

[Finley]

[heffneil]

I bought this yesterday or the day before. It is a very nice publication. Wish it came out a little more often!

Thanks!

Still awaiting for my mail ordered copy. Been over 3 weeks... would have thought the shipping would have my copy delivered by now.

 

[Moto44]

I don't get to have anything to do with decorating the inside of the house.
So, it was a hoot to get asked to include my garage in this magazine.
Nice job on the magazine, guys!

[Daniel Dudley]

Thanks Jane. It is a great Magazine, and I hope you do another.

 

[PAPAMAC1]

I just wanted to say that because of the makeover mag I found this forum I am always looking for more room in the garage thanks

 

[Boost Creep]

i picked up my copy today at wallyworld. great read so far. i'd buy more if it becomes a regular print

 

[donhd04]

Personally, I think it'd make a helluva monthly magazine -[/QUOTE]

I agree 100%. If this was a monthly magazine I guarantee I would be one of the first to subscribe. However they do need to add more actual garage features. Maybe a "Garage of the Month" and leave out the multi million dollar home garages and do real garages that us GJ Member's can relate to. Other than that I have already used about 10 of the tips in the mag and have loved it so far.

Thanks for publishing it. Great Job

Jane,
I GOTTA ask, is there a reasion why Nimrod's garage was not included in your magazine? COmpeting interests because it was in a book, or did you judge it too "rough" for the average homeowner to relate to, or something? I think most of us here LOVE his garage...even if we wouldn't do ours quite the same.

 

[Kent's Snakepit]

Cool, thanks for letting us know Ryan.

Guys, speak up if you were featured (and link to your build thread please)

Hi guys, just joined your group. Karl Voss and Marlen were a pleasure to work with on this project. I was honored to featured along with these awesome garages and workshops.

 

[Boost Creep]

which feature was yours?

 

[Kent's Snakepit]

Kent's Snake Pit ... pages 120-121

 

[boiler7904]

Congrats to everyone from the site that made the magazine.

I've been looking through it and recognize J.J. Heyd's aluminum drawer organizers on page 94-95 from a thread here but can't find the thread. Anyone have a link or user name to search by for those? It seems like he had other ideas and more photos in the thread that I'd like to look at before I make some of them.

 

[robert_t_wallace]

Just picked mine up at Borders. Definitely a lot of guys here made the issue which was good to see!

 

[TheBanker]

Awesome. I cannot wait to finish mine and show a total garage renovation for under $3000.00!

 

[Boyd Who]

Just snagged a copy at our local Safeway grocery store. VERY well done!!

 

[Airwilf]

My very good buddy Corrado made the mag with his murals.The guys at our Saturday morning cruise ins are always after him to do their hoodliners.He is a very busy guy.I agree with a previous poster about the working mans garage.More articles pls.When I win the lottery,my tune may change but I doubt it.Great magazine,keep it going!!!

 

[cravingspeed]

Great magazine, keeps me busy at work for hours. To all the guys, great garages! They give me ideas to get off my **** and clean and paint. Keep up the good work and the pics comming.

 

[roger55]

My man cave was featured. They gave me 3 pages!

Here is my build thread:
I'd love to have a shop that looked like this.
I started this thread when my garage was just a dream.

Here are my favorite pictures of it:

 

[cravingspeed]

I saw that one, great. Loved the nostalgia.

 

[adam728]

Picked up a copy at the book store yesterday.
Very inspirational (like this site). Now I can't wait to buy a place so I can do some garage upgrades!

 

[Rudyjr]

It was Ag-Tuff, and the ceiling material is the Phase-2® PVC AG-TUFF. My garage is the one that has it already installed in the pictures, then they did the show and tell install for the magazine shoot.

Can you give me some idea of where this material can be purchased. I do not see any information on dealers or online ordering. Thanks, Jim

 

[FireZapper]

Picked up my copy a couple weeks ago. Now I'm in the middle of my own great makeover.

 

[cw_racefan]

Can you give me some idea of where this material can be purchased. I do not see any information on dealers or online ordering. Thanks, Jim

I purchased it directly from H&F Mfg. (the link I listed above). They shipped it by truck to a nearby terminal and I picked it up there.

My stripes made it in!!!

Great mag, nice to see more emphasis on the non-wood working garages out there. When is the next issue due? Ive already read it through several times. More cheap solutions next time please....
