I just bought one of those benches and cabinets at the Sams in Crystal Lake about two weeks ago.

WoW! Awesome final product.
I only wish I had that much talent and vision!
What is Sammies getting for the large seville rollin cabinet? I have their workbench with back pegboard in the mancave downstairs and like the quality. That large cabinet would look great in the garage.
Again, top notch garage!

Very nice looking garage, looks to have a nice feel when you are in there working.

Only thing I would have added, would be a hi-lift to tuck the door up behind that cross beam. Then the lift would fit much easier :)

I agree with that. Down the road if budget allows I would like to set that up.

About 3 hours if I recall. I spread out all the pieces to make sure I wasnt missing anything. Then went to town. Once you know the pattern (like for the drawers) you of course dont need the instructions. Just build and tune the world out.

Love the steps. Were did you get the diamond plate? How do you cut it? Could you post detail pics of the steps? I'm in Crystal Lake, you close?

Tipstall..............

I had the steps fabricated from a local metal fabrication shop-supplier.




Dan..................

The rubber threads on the steps where ordered from Griots. Think around $10 each.

I love your "on a budget but getting the high dollar look" approach.
Check out my garage. I think my garage will have some of the same features as your once finished - wish I hadn´t had to build the darn thing before decorating it . Congrats on a very succesfull make over!

Had one of those weeks with some home projects. (yard work, chair-rail installed in office, cleaning out the cars, and throwing away **** from the basement.

Anyway, yeah my garage gets used and abused sometimes too. :)

I was really looking forward to seeing the end of the transformation to this garage. However it seems that photobucket has lost all of your pictures. :(

Also got excited to see finished and no dice. Just getting ready to start finishing my
52X32 basement garage and would love to see how it turned out if you can fix your photobucket.

I bought the slatwall from Menards. Took about two weeks to get it, since it was a special order item. Nice product, I'm happy with it.

The stainless workbench and tool chest are from Sams club. The are from Seville. Awesome stuff, and I plan on buying more.

Awesome, Tone!. :beer:

That is a shop to be proud of. All the hard work has really paid off. I still keep coming back to this thread for inspiration. Thanks for posting the so-called 'finished' shots. :thumbup:

Thanks guys for the kind words. The red lockers came from Sams club years ago. Very strong and beefy. They weren't however red originally. They came as a medium brownish grey color.

I had them powdercoated.
