Small two car Brisbane Aus

[minidriver]

Hi All,

Not really new here, long time reader, but never really introduced myself. been moving around a lot and never had a perma-garage.

We have now settled in at a new 270m2 house which is for life apparently, and have increased from a single car shed to a two car (barely) attached. Trying to cram as much in as possible, as efficiently as possible!

garage houses my 1971 project mini, and work areas. Want to have dedicated areas for metal and wood. the second bay will be used for wood working tools. Would love to be able to cram a metal lathe in there but with a drop saw and table saw planned, can't see it fitting anywhere, especially with the desire being strong for a cnc router table!

most of the work benches/cabinets are freebies from previous job. benches have 5mm steel tops, weigh a ton. I put 2mm stainless sheet on one of them as a clean work bench.

just finished putting 18mm ply on the wall ready to hang tools and some more cabinets on.

have one of these on the way, it looks quite nice for a mid-level quality drill press

Thanks 1/2 Cup.

My wife thinks it''s already too much space. There is an under house area at the rear of the house, accessed through the roller door to the left of the work benches, which is concreted in which is meant for car storage/workshop area if walled in. One day that will become my woodwork shop, when the kids have moved out! long time away yet! Currently it is outdoor living/play area for the kids. Have 5 of the little buggers so they consume time, money, space and mental health at a rate of knots.

I have a little cave next to the garage as well around 3*2m, 1.8m high (through the door which can be seen just behind the fridge), which is great for storing car parts and camping gear and garden tools. Thankfully we have not much yard space so garden tools can be kept to a minimum!
