Garage art nik naks

So we always see our rides, shining or usually building...but not so much where we do most the work. I finally after five years renting a home without a garage was able to be a homeowner once again after the market crash. Point is I finally get to have a garage and put it together the way I want it...so here's a couple of my pics.

 

yep, a guy needs room for his "nik naks"

 

Sorry, guys...but it's 'knick-knacks'. (my Mom was a fierce collector of automobilia, had many pieces displayed at home...)

Just act 'enlightened'. Better me than some nerd.

 

You need to check out a thread called: GARAGE ART: What'd you build? It's awesome and it will give you plenty of ideas. Have fun out in that garage. Gary

 

Congrats on the Home Sweet Home.

 

If I spread them out on a wall I could cover an 8x20 wall with the Hot wheels cars in packages that I have stashed away, No wall space for stuff in my garage except parts and tools until I get a much bigger garage.

 

4rod,i know how you feel,i am just finishing up a pole barn at my house. Its a nice feeling to have your own little corner of the world for all your crap.

 

Take an old tire, a wheel cover and a cheap clock and make this garage art.

 

My. Nik Nak s in my 24x24 chicken coop turned into my garage man cave!

 

I don't store that kind of stuff in my shop, it gets covered in a fine black dust from all the activity. I have a dedicated room in the house where my computer is, shop is for building stuff.

 

That is totally cul. Love those kind of ideas

 

Yeah you have a point trollst.,.when the kids move out I'll use one of their rooms right now I guess that's what a shop vac is for.

 

2NDCANCE...that's a 50 ford 2dr sedan I'm finishing up. Chopped it last summer. 31/2 in front, 43/4 in the rear.

 

Here's a look at the door into my man-cave... I like tin signs.

 

cs39ford, I am digging the large scale Monogram kits. Makes me want to dig mine out...

 

My mess.
Don't collect stuff on purpose, it just kinda happens.

 

Here's some more of my junk...

 

More to add this year!

 

Some very cool stuff. Don't be dusting stuff off., or not for a month before painting. I have learned that a fine coat of dust protects things from overspray.,,except for the tv,,that has to be covered to paint.

 

You got to love them. 64 years young and still build one once in a while

 

A wooden pattern for a cast gear, plus some little stuff. The photo is Red Greth's Speed Sport Special.

 

A few from my cave...

 

Lots of space for dust collectors. HAHA

 

@kiwijeff ....some of that stuff looks familiar!

Here's a couple super secret spy shots of my new garage. Still don't have most of my stuff hung up since moving, but I am slowly working on it.

 

Moriarity,

I swear your place is like the big vault at the end of "National Treasure", but with cooler stuff.
