Looks good Pierre! Thanks for sharing.

This is my cart, since I'm currently switching all my cheap tools for good ones, the cheap ones goes in the cart then the one in the cart gets either sold or given to friends.

I would like to have a complete cart with full drawers to the botom but for now this one does more than the job.

Awesome space thus far. Nice to see a fellow Canadian as well. Have to single out the organization of those tools! Damn! Looking forward to watching this one. Awesome M3 as well.

Awesome garage! Love the tool box as well!

Nice work, Pierre!

 

[Mpower5266]

Love the car and tool boxes, I cant wait to see more.

 

[ILLuSioNz X]

Even though I'm a BMW guy, I can see why you had to part with the car. That's an impressive collection of tools you have there.

 

[Garage Junky]

Nice looking set up! I love seeing other people's garages and wondering why mine is such a mess, lol.

We all know how expensive it is to gear up a garage in Canada yet alone in Quebec with our 15% sales tax. We pay easily more than 55% or more than our United-States friends for the same tools.

Wow what an awesome tooling setup. That'd cost a years salary here in Aus.

Thats what it costed me in Canada. Being close to the United-States doesn't make the 1$usd = 1.25$cad exchange rate go away and believe me, all the tool stores / tool truck charges you for it. A 300$usd tool in USA sells for over 600$cad here in Canada, I **** you not.

You have to be very smart when buying tools here. CT and PA still have some awesome deals even with our dollar in the toilet.

You are certainly well tooled up. You chose the best brand names and looks like you have the whole of what any mechanic would need. Nice shop set up as well. We are always interested in how a person sets up the shop, how much room, heating, lighting, and all that goes with having a place to work. Looks like you have it going on!!
Thanks and I will be watching your progress.

Best Regards

Those are Mastercraft work benches from Canadian tire, I also have the matching locker

This is my First tool box, now I use it to store unwanted tools or extras. It held so many tools at one point It couldnt be closed and weight about 5 stones.

How about more pics of the black rukus and how did you stretch the rear?

 

[MrAperture]

Decided to change my old Mastercraft 3 drawers for a bigger 26" Snap On 9 drawers for when I have to work at friends houses. Scored it used for a steal.

Cool new project. Was the flag just for the pic?

 

[Jyzze]

Nice ride! How do you found that pick up?

 

[StangSpace]

Very nice set up. I like how you are funding the garage with your side projects. I could definitely learn from that. Your photography skill are amazing as well. Is that what you went to school for or is that another hobby? Do you still ride BMX at all? I was big into riding growing up and I recently made some brackets to mount my first bike on the garage wall as a piece of wall art.

Nah its in my garage full time. I like the way it looks and if I could I'd love to live in the 60's California forever. Its not political. I just dig hotrods & Harleys

Nice ride! How do you found that pick up?

Found it during the winter, was parked in the middle of the wood. My friend wanted me to build him a full 60's custom pickup after he saw me work on his Ford Ranger minitruck. He paid 300$ for the pile and cost him 700$ to bring it to my garage (towing + farm tractor to get it out of the wood + paying the guy to chain saw all the trees in the way.)
