New member, new garage

[torched]

Hi guys, Im new here and figured my first post should be my garage makeover. I have found many great ideas here including the tool chest work bench, which I copied. As you can see my garage started off as a complete disaster but is finally a functional space.

I like the welding cart that doubles as a table , good idea.

Quick! Paint those walls before you start hanging stuff on them! I wish I had. Now I'm too far gone to take everything down to finish the walls.

Very nice transition
The small metal rack gives me a great solution to my problem
Thank you for sharing that.
I also see good possibilities with the large work table above your tool boxes
and I like the storage space up high
Well done. Whats next??

Looks great. Love the overhead storage and the metal rack. Well executed.

Looks great. Good use of your high ceilings. And you can't beat a long workbench it will fill up quick with projects. Not sure what you plan on building but I would move your lights to the ceiling so you are not banging them with stuff.

Ha, that's the one thing I've been slacking on. I know it needs to be done I just hate painting. I still have a bit of other stuff to do first.

Looks great. Any plans for a door stop (to prevent it from hitting the yellow bins)?

Ditto on the welding cart - really functional. I like the framework for storing misc. steel pieces, etc. Efficient use of floor space.

First, thanks for all the positive comments. My next project is a 4 x6 steel fabrication table and then I need to purchase a new metal lathe as I sold my old Atlas lathe.

As for a door stop, it really isn't an issue as I rarely use that door.
