Default The Garage

Mods, there's pics of my Dyna in here so. .it fits this forum

I have a townhouse garage that I do all my work in and I've been slowly getting it into a nice workspace. Just wanted to show it off.

The pegboard came with the house, wasn't sure about it at first but I get a lot of use out of it:



I think 2 or 3 years ago I added the air compressor and tool cart:







This past year I've been doing more to it.
  • Started with building some shelving to hold most of my woodworking stuff above the bench and cut some plywood to size for the bench top.
  • Added some much needed LED lighting this year as well which shows in the pictures how much brighter it is. No flash used here.










And more recently I
  • Built a little stand for my laptop.
  • Organized all my sockets
  • Added power to my compressor and a wall mounted hose reel









It's a small workspace but purpose built. I think having the hose reel and dedicated power for the compressor is going to be the biggest help. Added this week.

If you have a cool space let's see it.

Very nicely done!

As with all garages, space is at a premium; you've done well My last space decision in my garage was either a compressor or a 'fridge; I went with the beer 'fridge; I can always use a manual tire pump, but cold beer, that's a serious priority

It looks great Matt, cozy and inviting! I've been working on clearing mine up and you've given me some good ideas, thanks

P.S. I'll post some pics when I make a spot worthy

Nice spot to work for sure. One thing I don't see pictured that is a huge time saver for me, an extension cord reel.

WOW! Very nice. I would love something half as functional. I can get stuff done in mine but not near as efficient.

Looks great Matt!

Sigh, even though we now have a 2.5 car garage (additional smaller door for golf cart) I am still on the "mobile shop plan", but now I don't have to move cars out of the way just the golf cart Lol. I still set up folding tables and shlep my tools today bring them closer. One day!
