The Garage/Shop/Tools Thread

[M3TA5IN]

Great thread. I also remember this from pirate4x4 and they have a great tool section on the garage journal too. I shall participate once I figure out my garage situation.

Lumber list:
1 sheet 3/4" plywood (or top of choice...)
2 10' 2x6
4 10' 2x4
1 16' 4x4

Hardware list:

1 box 3 1/2" deckmate screws (gen assembly)
1 box 2" deckmate screws (top fastening to frame)
18 - 1/2"x6" carriage screws
3 - 1/2"x6" Hex Bolts (for my vice)
21 - 1/2" hex nuts
24 - 1/2" washers
Cut list:

Cut list:

grey - 1x 72"x28" 3/4" plywood
red-ish - 2x 2x6, 72"
green - 3x 2x6, 22"
yellow - 7x 2x4, 22"
light blue - 1x 2x4 69"
blue - 5x 4x4, 36 3/4" (sets top height to 39", vary here to raise/lower to pref)

the back diagonal on my bench i marked on the back of the bench once assembled and cut from there - a single 8 footer should get the job done (instead of the 4th 10 footer, if you're worried about it)

Guess I'll be frequenting this thread hopefully this summer

Definitely saving this thread for when I finally buy my house and start dedicating the garage for shop room only.

[kayger12]

Yep. This is definitely on the agenda for this summer.

Thanks again for the info.

Great thread.

I wish this was sent with a Galaxy S3

This is a place to show off your ZHP House, Barn, Stable (no, not that, ponies stay stables) or whatever you call the place you store and work on your ZHP in. Garage projects, renovations and updates welcome.

One of the sites that inspired me on this was the M House, the garage to die for. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=25148

So, in my relocation to Tennessee this spring I found houses with incredible garages. This is what I decided to make mine and this is the starting point the day before move in. I also intend on transposing the room above the garage into a Man Cave over time as well.

One of those assume Tennessee garages. I couldn't help myself from taking a picture of this garage next to a house in town I looked at, when looking for a new house.

If I win the lottery, I want a 6-8 car carriage house on the back line of my property and/or a 3 car/2 story garage at the top of my driveway with a 2nd floor man cave above. Someone here a couple of weeks ago shared my vision, from the top of the driveway it slopes down perfectly into the backyard to be able to drive in on a lift, lower that lift to the lower level and still park something above. Again, just dreaming, our current 2-1/2 car garage suits my needs for now.

My garage is nothing special at all, but what inhabits it is.

Great thread idea. Can wait to see all of the different ideas
