Show us your garage

[M@tt]

this is my little tinkering setup

I bought a shed not long after we moved into our house as i was going stir crazy not having anywhere to tinker. I fitted power and light to it, as well as insulating the walls to keep me warm of an evening

with a few workbenches in it soon started to fill up, although i managed to keep it tidy for a while

it didn't last...

then after a few months i got fed up of working on my cars in the rain so i build a carport on my own on the front of it

and i've just fitted roll-upable/downable sheeting so i can spray bits and pieces

 

[KennyA]

superb, i plan on building a bit like that outside my hut for working on bigger things.

In picture 2 it looks like you have everything, including the kitchen sink! - you can never have enough workshop space.

 

[M@tt]

ha ha

yes i got that from free from freecycle and use it as a part washer

 

[Debs.]

i was flood welding some holes in a 6mm plate for my burners hotplate.

my hovel, camera phone so soz about the quality as it doesnt show the dreads off properly

You need more lighting - or a skylight or three

 

[Iain Westland]

Nah, the big lights were off as I was quiet. They also give off too much light for the auto helmet at times, plus with a 12' x 12' opening It gets bright in there most of the time. Dont think It helped that it was mid afternoon too, muchos hotness outside.

cheers Pete

This was miine back when Bikes were the be all and end all

All the bikes now gone and been replaced by two new ones in my understated shed

Garage now contains a mini rusting so quick you can almost hear it fizzing!!

 

[NTwoO]

I thought I'll add some pics of my pozzie.
From the road side.

From the garden side

Music system, a B&O found in a dumpster.

The spare bicycles are mounted against the roof. This is only one side, the other side there are 3 more (and usually a folding bike above the pharmacy cupboard)

For better or for worse. (Well, the big motorbike is also my wife's.) This little chest freezer is a nice little working surface guaranteed to be clean

Some of my stock of Stainless and mild steel. I bought 250kg of stainless tubing in various sizes for 2 euro per kg. There is also an alu recumbent in tubing and a swing garden chair within that heap.

As you can see, there is quite some art hanging in the garage. My mother is an artist and we simply don't have enough room for all the art in the house, so there are three pieces hanging here.

What's the yellow streamliner NTwoO?

 

[NTwoO]

one of the 11 cycles. It is my chief form of transport to work (24km one way)

 

[Pete.]

Cool - got any details on the construction?

I saw the air scoop shaped bit and thought it might have an engine hidden in there
