Hey everyone! Glad to be a part of this forum. Look forward to chatting and learning. I just bought a home with my dream garage and plan on making the garage gods happy.

Here is the the old girl. Built in 1916 as a carriage house. The owner was part of tool making family in CT. I plan on making her my wood shop and the basement will eventually become a metal shop. The top floor will be my research and development dept.

Welcome to the garage Chief,
Nice place you have there, I wish I had the space to separate the woodworking for the metal side. I enjoy both

Thank you. Long time in the making. Took me 15 yrs to finally get this. Now that I’m 40 I can start enjoying my hobbies more.

Yup. There is a basement. I’ll get some photos of the basement tomorrow if I can. We got quite a bit of snow.

Found a photo of the inside on the 1st floor. Needs to be cleaned and rewired.

Welcome to the forum.

When you do projects please post a few pictures. We like seeing pictures of projects other members are working on. Also, many times it gives us ideas on things we might want to try.

I will certainly do so.

Attic photos, don’t mind the mess. The previous owner left all this stuff.
