Your garage

Here’s a few pics of mine.

 

My mess. JW

 

This was a space I had for 8 years in downtown Milwaukee -- about 4000 sq ft with 20 foot ceiling and a mezzanine that looked down onto the cars. Heated slab, too. The neighborhood (Historic 3rd Ward) got so valuable I ended up selling it. It really was the ultimate garage and yes I do miss it.

 

My cramped dark garage!

 

This is my current set-up -- a 1930's machine shop. In my neck of the woods, you can find buildings like this that are quite inexpensive. Milwaukee was once known as "The Machine Shop to the World," and one of the few advantages of living in the rust belt is an abundance of industrial property. Makes a very nice hang-out, and it's only 7 minutes from my house.

 

A couple of wider shots of the same place. I made a small whiskey bar up front.

 

That is a bitchin garage space!!! love the big wood beams and the brick

 

Thanks! Everything in Milwaukee built before 1900 looks like that.

 

I lusted over this space a lot of times.
I like the new space as well

 

I just finished the inside of mine. Long winter project.

Some of these garages are NICER than my house!

 

You guys have some sweet shops. I really could use some space for my projects. Currently have a 1 car garage and it sucks, but better than nothing.
When my dad gets up here this summer we are going to start to build a new shop for him when he and mom are here for the summer. He's been paying for a storage unit for the last 4 years and that is getting old.
We are planning on something around 30×40 with an apartment on top. That should give them around 1200sq ft and room for 2 cars and a good work space. Going to be alot of work this summer, but I really enjoy projects with the old man.

 

shop area of my garage

 

Light maintenance, detail work, project planning,final assembly and blue sky sessions take place here..

 

A little space would be nice. But at least it's inside.

 

Sweep most of this crap out now ""

 

Love the ElCamino

 

The super clean big new shops are very nice, however I'm always intrigued with those dingy old sheds with half done projects. I can almost smell the potbelly stove and old 90 weight oil on the floorboards. Mine is kind of in between.

 

Hey, it's paid for!

 

Here's my garage.22'x15'.Heated and well lit.

 

Mine is a former gas station.

 

my newest "garage", but I call it the "shed"...built mostly of recycled materials.
it works.

 

Wow ! haven't looked at all the garage postings only viewing in the off hours, but everything from hospital perfect to the bare essentials, to show room like museum quality, & then those with time worn wood & rusty iron. all reflecting what the wallet can afford. All & all like Christmas morning I'm sure to each & every owner...

 

I have an 8x8 shed and the further I get along with the car and the more tools I collect and the more I try to organize the messier it gets and the less room I have to work

 

Grant Clemens states it well, recall the bare bones body shop my father & his lifelong school friend labored in, timber floor, wood/coal heat all now gone but for the lasting memories
