      Garage is almost done!

      Here's the garage, about 98% complete.


      View from the front





      My compressor (5 HP, 60 Gallon)





      Cabinets I built, except I had the doors made. Also some memorabilia.





      The bookcase for my car books, they were taking up too much room in the house bookcase. There is many more I haven't found yet...it also doubles as bench support.





      The fridge I painted with my business logo





      My subwoofer (I love music) and side of a toolbox I painted before I went to school for auto mechanics (10 years ago)





      The other side







      The front, along with my homemade whiteboard... hope it works!





      My air line, dryer, etc...

      I'm pretty sure this is the one... 673 RPMS

      We have a similar compressor in our mechanic shop, with 3 guys it seems to work just fine. We have major water problems, but that's because whoever installed the piping didn't understand how to it should be designed... my dad! I hope to re-do it someday, but it's hard when the shop needs to be functioning 6 days out of the week... and when I don't get paid overtime for such things... and when my dad doesn't believe it's necessary! Water will come spraying out of tools on a day where we are running grinders a lot. In his defense, we really don't ruin air tools very often either, I've had the same impacts for 10 years or more. Went through a couple air grinders in that time though.

      Looks great! What are the dimensions of your garage? I just moved and am working on getting my 1 car garage organized so I can fit my Nova and still be able to do some work haha. Yours is good inspiration!

      Impressive....well planned with what appears to be plenty of work space; I'm jealous.

      Curious how loud that compressor is, being in the same room?

      Thanks everyone!

      The garage is 12X24 and doesn't have a lot of elbow room, even with a small car in it ('70 Datsun 2000). If I worked on a normal sized car I'd move the shelves into my shed.

      The compressor isn't terribly loud, the stereo covers it up easily

      For some reason I didn't notice there was a Garage section in the forum.

      Could a mod/admin move this thread to the Garage section?

      Nice garage, I picked up the 3 cylinder model compressor,, haven't used it a whole lot but it seems to do a good job.

      Very nice! I love the C-Aire compressor. I buy several of them every month from Jason and his guys and they are very strong.

      My Garage is about the same size and I crammed a Rotary 4 Post Lift in there.

      Looks great! It's small, but it's a garage. ;)

      Armstrong VCT industrial tile. The kind of things you see in hospitals, shopping malls, etc etc. There is some downsides, but generally a good floor. Biggest downside is no welding without laying down a blanket.
