Hi,

I bought a 'market stall business' off an old guy who was retiring and got all of his tools, equipment and some training.

Those hack-saws came from him, so I have no idea how old they are.

Regards
Peter

My wife says I have too many mig welders in my garage.

 

[lchris21]

i think she's right

 

[tigler]

How can you have too many ??!!

 

[Bsmith]

I could do with 4 migs too, 1 with teflon liner and alumin wire, 1 with S/S wire, 1 with .6mm mild steel wire and 1 with .8mm mild steel wire, such a pain in the arze could be saved changing wire etc.

i think you could do with one more, just for a back up just in case on of the four brakes down.

I actually do have one more not in the picture. It is a Dyna auto XS350 OTC Daihen with a push pull gun on it.

Ran out of space in the old workshop so thought I'd have a clearout.

Then I thought 'Nah, it's cold, can't be ar53d'. So the simple solution was to buy a slightly bigger workshop

Lovely - see what you mean by the height thing

I struggled in the winter of 2008/2009 in my tandem garage (pictures earlier in the thread P34) - didn't matter how much heat I threw at it it was just too damn cold

Last summer/wetting I took the opportunity t add a little insulation as well as improve the storage capacity

Lined the underside of the roof timbers with plasterboard and added a loft hatch that was big enough to accomodate a front bumper assembly to go up in the roof area

Rewiring the lighting circuit and adding a few extra lights

on top of the Plasterboard I laid loft insulation to the depth of the joists and then sheets of floorboard - tongue and grooved chipboard sheets over the top to provide a nice storage area above for lightweight stuff

Blimey did that all make a difference this winter!!

cuttla mine:

upper tier:

not quite finished yet, need to damp-proof the walls as it's built into the side of a mountain, fit the electrics, and tidy up the upper tier. not too far away though

Only looked at the first 2 pages, but I'm already envyous.

I live at home with my mum & step-dad till I get my own place (only 22, so hopefully in about 2-3 years). Mum has converted the double garage into her workspace, and we have a big shed that's full of loads of crap! No way enough room for a car, etc. Will get pics up when I get home.

Hopefully one day I'll have a garage like some of these. However, a 2-poster ramp is a must have, and a 4WD RR is also something I would like, but at the cost of £50,000 the rolling road seems unlikely to happen for at least another 10-15 years.

Variuos pictures of garage, and nice big timber workshop

 

[the snooper]

just because you have hung that picture upside down doesn't mean anything will fall out

 

[NigelAylesbury]

I know that - but as its the delightful Lucy Pinder one lives in hope.
The calendar is the right way up though!
