Thats a cracking space you've got there! Whats the plans for the 'liner?

 

[Scottishross]

im not sure yet alot of work needs done to it im taking parts off it to sell but once i get a few quid out of it im going to get a better one

i brought it to fit a engine to it but it needs too much work needing down to it

A nice work space with a lot of potential.

I need a "frustration" bag in my shop as well.

 

[kngkong]

Looks like a great spot. Nice work so far. Definitely lots of potential there.

Good space you have, looks quite deep with 2 cars end to end.

After many years I finally had time to fix up my garage:

Looks like an awesome space, plenty big enough! Looks like you do ok with your woodwork too.

I want to get some wood like you have used here, any idea how much it costs / best place to buy it, Champions? http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p413/rossmcleod/IMGP1490.jpg

Keep us update on how you get on. If you need inspiration look at a few of the threads in garage gallery and you'll soon get ideas of how to spend money / time making your garage even more awesome / useful. Plenty of people running electricity to tons of sockets, air lines round the workshop etc. Generally it's all about tidy storage and coming up with a nice colour scheme.

This view shows you a few of the really popular garages

I just got the wood from a local timber guy and built everything myself

 

[jeffmoss26]

Very nice. I also have a punching bag in my shop (technically in the room with the furnace)

 

[John in OH]

Looks to me as if you've done quite a bit more than a "wee project"! Terrific improvement over what you started out with. That is a sharp looking woodburner!!

 

[Scottishross]

its a working progress

cheers guys

 

[PCO6]

That's pretty much how my original tool collection started out! Good job on the garage. It's coming along nicely.

 

[Scottishross]

im off for a week
got a few ideas

 

[Scottishross]

done a few wee bits and cleaned up

 

[Mmfh]

Nice Job you did there! The white really brightens it up, like the black between the cabinets too.
Love the feel of wood heat, and I totally understand the Punching bag too!

What is it with Glaswegians and axes?

cool space BTW

at least there in the garage and not behind the front door

 

[Scottishross]

next plan is to make doors to hide all the mess underneath the units

 

[Scottishross]

spent a few hours knocking this up the day

ordered the worktop a few days ago so as soon as it comes in i will pick up and fit

 

[oomz1975]

Love this thread, some really nice touches around the workspace.
Reminds me, I need to build a tyre rack.
Love the punchbag.

 

[Les Brock]

Bloomin' Eck if the garage is that big, how bigs the flat lol

 

[Scottishross]

no bigs i own the flat lol

so what ever i do is mine

so ideas would be great

 

[Scottishross]

I have plans for that wall

 

[slimpickins]

at least there in the garage and not behind the front door

LOL, Crack me up!

Great looking space you got there. Love the brick walls - really adds character!

I love that you can see at least 2 fire extinguishers in there! But I'm not sure I'd keep one right beside the wood stove where it could be unreachable if that's where the fire starts. Good on ya for thinking safety first!

The thing with wood stoves is you can get careless and if you don't remember to keep stuff far enough away, look out!

Keep the posts coming!

 

[Scottishross]

right the garage was in a right **** tip so spent a few hours cleaning up

before

after

Still working away

 

[Derrickwade]

Great transformation. I like all the workbench space.

 

[AndysMBgarage]

Thats a great garage you've got there mate

I spent a week in Renfrew last September visiting family and I cannot believe how few garages you actually see. With the weather you get it must be hard to keep a car reasonable let alone do some work around the house. You must have some seriously envious neighbors fella

The only suggestion I'd make is get some large hooks up on the masonry wall to store those ladders horizontally up out the way.

Cheers

 

[Scottishross]

great idea mate

will look into it

cheers

 

[AETD]
