The work cave 26" X 47"

[wagzilla]

Welcome to my work cave. I moved into my house about 3 years ago and I never did a write up on building my garage or reworking my garage. This is what sold the house. My old house had a two car garage and it was really too small to work. I have been working on this garage slowly and I'm starting to like it more and more, it just takes time.

It's a lot better 26' X 47' works for me, but I'm 85 feet or so from the house, long way to walk to the house if you got to pee My wife likes it because she can't hear the air compressor.

Great garage...do you have A/C in there? Also I am curious about the kitchen cabinets...did you get some from a "redo" or did you buy these just for the shop?

If you made the post you should have a blue "EDIT" button at the bottom of the post. Just click that, fix the issue, then "save" and all is well

Nice shop......It's great to have more room. Nomad is a frame off? What are the other plans?
Cheers Billy

You can see post #11 my wheels are falling apart on my vehicle rotisserie so I replaced them.

So I cut all the old one's off

I can move the car around now by myself. I lost two inches the casters are bigger. rolling the rotisserie over the cracks is smooth.

I do not have a/c yet but I have been thinking about it. These cabinets are all used, I only have a few hundred bucks into the cabinets

Here is my 1957 Nomad. I didn't know it was going to be a frame off and I have changed my mind a few times during the build.

this C4HD corvette set up had less then 10,000 miles on it from Arizona.

If you look at the last picture I put the frame together in my in closed trailer, not much room.
