My first garage... work in progress.

[bradleykd]

Whats up everyone? My name's Brad, I'm from KY and have been working on my first garage. I'm pretty hooked on snap-on tools and have a nice collection at work and I've started working on building my collection of nice stuff for the house. I'm only 23 in my new house, so the garage is kind of an on-going project when there's extra money around. Anywho, Im just around to see some new ideas and some cool stuff.


So this is my little 2 car garage. It looks like there is a lot of room, but after I park that big *** truck in there, it is really tight.... anywho, on to the pics

Little mini-mill and lathe - very handy for small stuff

My metal working area, that big steel table is really handy

A dry erase board is really nice to have to stay organized on a big project

Every garage needs a mini fridge

and a few of these... lol

And this is the old Snap-On box I'm gonna restore

Excuse the truck doors, they're only temporary... haha

Looks like a nice man cave. Paint on the foundation blocks and some floor epoxy is a hellavu bang for the buck upgrade for the garage. It immediately turns your plain old garage into WOW!, not to mention brightens up the place. Nice lookin bench you got there! You can easily build tire storage rack back by your electrical panel. Get those extra tires off the ground. Lol... ashamed to say I have a teeny little vise like you have there. Lol... Still holds stuff but bigger is better right?

What I really like is his garage looks like a garage not a storage room for the other half or kiddie toys everywhere.

I'm a victim of the other half and kiddie toys so I'm going to live through this guy.

Nice shop. If you dont mind, you should post some pictures when you restore your Snap On box.

I'm not gonna do the floor because i do a lot of welding and cutting and bodywork, and I'd just mess it up. One day my garage may have some kiddie stuff in it, but I'll be damned if the mrs. takes it over. haha I'll post the pics when I do the box. I do quite a bit of bodywork on cars, so i feel like i wont have a problem making that thing look like new.

and about the PBR, lol, That fridge usually has a bunch of Miller Lite in it, but every now and then I'll throw my buddy for a loop and get something off the wall, dirty, and cheap... lol

Quick question, how do you like your lathe?
