My Geerage!

[Rolling_Thunder]

Well Ive been a member of this forum for a while now but never posted pics of my Geerage. So here ya go!

Its a 24x24 setup it has a 100amp panel, cable tv and a phone line in it.

This is the back wall Ive owned 5 T-Birds so I setup this cabinet with T-Bird parts I had laying around

This is the cabinet I built to house my stereo opened and closed

I built a cabinet to house my computer the cpu is in the cabinet below

Here we have my main workbench and my car collection

The backwall workbench with a built in file cabinet

The drill press and grinder section

I stole some of these from the forum its my all things oil related area even made the grease gun holder,funnel drain and the drain pan funnel holder

I made this for all my nuts,bolts...

Air Central and covers I made to pretty up the holes thru the plywood

My heat pump and fold up work bench. You can never have enuff work benches

My welder and I built the cart of old bedframes ans parts I had lying around!

And finally its the home for my toy!!!!

 

[Jack Olsen]

Very nice! Those fold-down covers for the computer and stereo remind me of ideas you'd see in nautical construction. You've packed a lot of capability into a modestly-sized place.

 

[KCarGuy]

Nice Organization!
I like your Ideas and the way you put them to good use!
Thanks.

 

[psychobillycadillac]

Nice job. Might have to steal the nut and bolt organizer idea from you.

 

[68-camaro]

You must like coffee, excellant storage with all the coffee containers. TV, stereo, computer, you could almost live out there.

 

[donnie m]

nice shop ! ( your shop cabinets are nicer than what we got in the kitchen !)

 

[Bronson]

Nice shop, well organized and laid out!

 

[Brentocool]

I like it! I also like the fact that you can still do things without worring about messing it up to bad. I regret making mine so pretty! I have to be so careful when I'm working out there.

 

[wilb1976]

Love the way u hid your electronic equipment!

 

[sids04]

Super nice !

 

[Plump]

+1 on hiding and protecting the electronic equipment. This is something I definitely need to do to keep some of the dust and particulates from stealing some life from that equipment.

Some really nice stuff and a great job organizing...definitely stealing some ideas!

 

[Thruxton]

Some really good ideas there, thanks for sharing.

 

[JimVonBaden]

Very cool!

Genius!

Now, just a little cleaning on the outside, mold!

[daveroy]

Great setup!! Wish I had that much space.

Looks like a wing rear seat in the one pic. But it cant be, cause your AM/FM antenna is missing! lol.

 

[SpeedyGee]

Some really neat ideas there, think I might pinch the PC one

 

[jktruck150]

Wow! You are very organized! Well done. Looks good!

 

[PECVD2]

Wow, really nice shop, organized but not in the over the top OCD way. Place has lots of character and is functional. Like the shelf in upper corner of what is typically useless space. Cool place

 

[82_454_shorty]

I could live in that shop! Very nice and some great ideas. Well done sir.

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

Thanks! Between the welding and the woodwork it gets pretty dusty in there.

Nice Organization!
I like your Ideas and the way you put them to good use!
Thanks.

Thanks!

Nice job. Might have to steal the nut and bolt organizer idea from you.

Thanks! I looked at the parts bins like at harbor freight but like building my own stuff I have abot $50 of wood in it.

You must like coffee, excellant storage with all the coffee containers. TV, stereo, computer, you could almost live out there.

The coffee canisters came from the wife and the coffee club at work I rarely drink the stuff. :?)

nice shop ! ( your shop cabinets are nicer than what we got in the kitchen !)

Thanks! Some of the cabinets came from my daughters old house the others were bought at a yard sale for $20.

Nice shop, well organized and laid out!

Thanks, My 1st workshop was a 8x12 shed so organization was a must!

I like it! I also like the fact that you can still do things without worring about messing it up to bad. I regret making mine so pretty! I have to be so careful when I'm working out there.

Thanks! Its definetly a workshop not a show shop.

Love the way u hid your electronic equipment!

Thanks! The fronts were made from a double door cabinet that wasnt in good enuff shape to use!

Super nice !

Thanks!

+1 on hiding and protecting the electronic equipment. This is something I definitely need to do to keep some of the dust and particulates from stealing some life from that equipment.

It definetly keeps the electronic clean!

Some really nice stuff and a great job organizing...definitely stealing some ideas!

Steal away, I sure have from this forum!

Some really good ideas there, thanks for sharing.

You welcome!

Very cool!

Thanks!

Genius!

Now, just a little cleaning on the outside, mold!

Actually the 1st time I used it I overfilled it! Oil went everywhere!! :?(

Great setup!! Wish I had that much space.

Looks like a wing rear seat in the one pic. But it cant be, cause your AM/FM antenna is missing! lol.

Its an 06 wing. The antenna is there just a little out of the pic!

Some really neat ideas there, think I might pinch the PC one

Its soooo nice to have a PC in the garage when I need info on something!

Wow! You are very organized! Well done. Looks good!

Thanks!

Yeah I built one in each corner.

I could live in that shop! Very nice and some great ideas. Well done sir.

Thanks! luckily I have a wife that loves me and allows me in the house. Most of the time :?)

 

[jasonreck71]

Big fan of the CPU case, been racking my brain for a good way to protect mine, thanks!!!

YW! And I used Velcro to hold the keyboard in place!

 

[Nighttrain]

Great storage ideas, thanks for sharing.

 

[PECVD2]

RT,

What do you use this for?

 

[bmwohio]

Great shop! I hope to have something very similar when we move next in a year or two....enjoy it!

 

[Kenneth3]

Nice organization! That really goes a long way, and you've accomplished more in that space than some 3 car garages.

Your welding cart is certainly a purpose built monster. Certainly something I will be building in the future based on your design. I saw it here first, and immitation is the highest form of flattery. Two thumbs up!

 

[Toolbag]

Nice geerage!!!

 

[Rezarf]

I agree, the computer storage is awesome, I had to double take the pic before the screen shot. Well done, it looks great.

 

[HSpencer]

BRILLIANT in every way. Just when you think ideas have run out,here comes someone with new and great ones. My hat is off!! I am going to steal steal and steal some of these ideas!! Hope you don't mind!

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

RT,

What do you use this for?

Its not perfect but it gets most of them back in the container! I have a freind who is a sheetmetal guy and am going to have him build me a curved funnel like end for it.

 

[PECVD2]

Ahhh so you really are just like the rest of us. You have 44 junk bins but are more efficient at getting it all back in. Great idea.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Very nice setup, how did you get that Sears tool territory sign? I like it!

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

Ahhh so you really are just like the rest of us. You have 44 junk bins but are more efficient at getting it all back in. Great idea.

Baiscally Yeah,

I do try to keep everything sorted bolts,nuts, flat washers... but am still organizing that part!!!

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

The cart was my 1st project when I bought the welder 11 years ago the grinder holder I added to it last year actually got that idea from here.

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

Very nice setup, how did you get that Sears tool territory sign? I like it!

Thanks, I cant remember where I picked that up at!

 

[gussteve]

yes very sweet geerage indeed!

 

[letz4wheel]

This ought to be mounted either up under the rack or to the side of it. It would save a little wall space that way...or you could do it your way Great looking space though

 

[mdbeck1]

Its not perfect but it gets most of them back in the container! I have a freind who is a sheetmetal guy and am going to have him build me a curved funnel like end for it.

I like the idea for the nut/bolt sorter. I use old anti-freeze bottles with the side cut out. You can take the lid off and pour the small stuff out of the spout.

Another idea... sort the bolts, washers, and nuts by size/thread. That way you only have to go to one bucket when you need something of that size.

...consider the funnel idea stolen....

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

That's a nice space, Rolling Thunder!

I like the computer cover, the coffee can storage, etc.

Question: How have you liked your wall-mounted Craftsman shop vac? My small Rigid works ok; though I suspect it's dying a slow death. I read the thread on here a couple weeks ago about wall mounted vac's and saw plenty I liked but I'm too cheap for most of them.

 

[HOTFR8]

How have I missed seeing this topic before ? haveing read about the computer in another topic I see some fantastic ideas. Your use of timber is just very clever. I have plastic oil containers cut so I can use the handle for my bolts and screws etc. but to sort them I have a cut off square oil drum. Your ideas are very clever and very well done.

 

[taumac]

I like the garage and bonus that you built alot from ordanary everyday stuff. I also built mind from alot of stuff laying around good job.
