What do your shops look like?

Coast to Coast
Seeing as how they're are hundreds of members on this forum, from all over the world, of different ages and different skill levels I'm sure we all have different shops, garages and work places where we spend time working on our creations. From professional shops, to our parents garages, your spot in the drive way or if your really lucky your living room. Give us a peek where you're working.

For me living at home and in queens makes for very limited space but if everything is kept organized (which it usually is till another family member steps foot in it) I manage to fit everything I could possibly need! 8)

Milk crates, cinder blocks and a tulip poplar tree.

Or the 2 car plus 3 lean tos garage.

Sometimes the barn...

Sometimes the front porch, but it just got new columns so...

... you can see the house, the garage, the big tulip poplar and the barn... The little brick building is useless, winter home for copperhead vipers.
 
Just moved.. Went from the first garage single car garage to the next 3 car garage.. House was built in 2000 but the garage looked nothing like that when we bought it. I told my wife I wanted it exactly how I imagined it before we move in. Didn't make it but I did a lot of work shortly after we moved in... A few tweaks still need made but close... Got rid of almost all my bikes before the move as well so now it's time to build the collection back up. 8)

Last one is the garage doors that just got insulated and new weatherstripping, getting it ready for Indiana winter so I can "comfortably" work all year. ;)

Nice mark. Love the floor.

Thanks man!! Set me back a pretty penny but I love every bit of it and I have a 5 year warranty for product and labor... So far I have only dropped one seat from the ceiling and knocked over the complete front end from a bike to put two chips in the epoxy. Those were big enough hits that it would've damaged just concrete also... Other than that, dropped tools, toys, etc. nothing else touches it and everything just wipes right off of it...

Now if I could just find some touch up paint or finger nail polish to match and touch up, I'll be set.
Other than getting WeberKids' bikes into my garage! ;D
DAMN those bikes are nice!! ;)
 
Hey Weberkid! The tank on the left? Yeah, I want to have it's baby ;D

Seriously, it's awesome.
 
Beautiful garage mark. My family has a home in Vermont with an unattached three car garage and a garage/unfinished ground level basement under the house. Could turn it into something amazing but we aren't up there nearly often enough! :-[

Hey Quadracer,

For a case of beer, an extended family of 30 or so Latinos, or Philipinos, or whomever I can drag out of the gutter on the way, could happily move into your "space" and promptly overthrow Harley as the people's choice.
DAMN !!
If that's your extra space I'd love to see what you guys do with your actual garage ???

No kidding, You can fit a whole hell of a lot of bikes in that thing. Probably at least 50... Crazy, That would make for one mean shop.
 
If we were able to get up there often with the dream would be to turn the basement into a single car garage, and the rest of it into a bar/game room. The three car garage I would love to turn into a great shop (I have more pictures of the inside of it at home) the guy we bought the house from lives in the garage as he built the house so the garage has plumbing and a wood burning stove, also has its own oil tank so you could install an oil burner. He was also a mechanic himself so he made sure the concrete was poured thicker than normal, had anchors put into the floors so he could straighten frames and before we removed it had the entire garage plumbed for an air compressor. Sad truth is we don't get up there enough to do the work to it and even if we did, wouldn't have the time to really work on anything in there :( Perhaps when I win the lotto.

Uhhh, thats a second home? Me thinks you already won the lotto..
 
I suppose I could have cleaned up and take some good pics, but it's workspace, so fuck it!
In this 2 car garage, everything is setup for (beyond normal household repair tasks):

-Building shitty motorcycles
-Keeping Jeeps from catching on fire
-Building custom furniture
-Restoring/repairing vintage stereo gear (the console you see there is a 1964 Fisher 49, nearly completed and gorgeous)
-Fab'ing/building high-quality custom tattoo machines and power supplies.

...and an added bonus, hanging there is the first tool kit my dad gave me round-abouts 1987

Here's mine, not very big but it works for me. I painted it white before moving everything in to make it brighter, as my last garage was very dull and I hated it.
