Welcome to my little garage!

[Nimrod]

Ryan, I thought you were joking when you said you were going to have a board just for garages....I guess not.

Here's my little work space burried at the back of my carport.

Welcome Nimrod. Yours is one of the best garages I've seen.

[REFLEXX]

That looks more like a museum display. FANTASTIC! The colors, the textures. Do you realize that people get paid thousands to get things to look this good and you probably didn't try to do it on purpose.

[Luckydevil]

Damn, I've seen pretty bad ass garages on here and yours in definitely one of the coolest. That thing just overflows with oldschool and I dig it!

[the intimidator]

Wow that is a very nice garage everything has a really cool old school sit down and grab a beer sort of atmosthere very nice

[Nimrod]

Thanks. Here's a shot of my other little building I've got my woodworking tools in, and I'll probobly stick my louver press in to get it out of the way. I guess this would be were to sit down with a beer.

And one of the old barn. Where I store stuff and keep things tidy in the shop.

Is that a "Spitfire" residing next to the "barn"? Factory hard top too! ! Overdrive? They are quite rusty here in the mid-west. You have a FANTASTIC place! Not so excessive as many, but it seems you have planned well! I love it! STYLE!

I brought that Triumph home because it was little and cute...I just wasn't interested in it, and never drove it. It's replacement is a little bigger.

[beezerbum]

Wow, that's an awesome "Caddy" Clean !

[Luckydevil]

Too cool. How old are the structures and what is the history behind them?

The house was built in 1898, I don't know the age on the rest of 'em. The lady who lived here for the last 30 (kind of an eccentric recluse) liked to use old materials to build things. Part of the barn is very old, the left side was built within the last five years. The carport is old, shop is a bit newer. The deck I rebuilt but reused the old lumber which I found out was redwood from an old water tank, I thought it was strange the boards measured 1.5" x 7". And I've got my own pile of old lumber I've used to build what I've added.

Man that thing is awesome... I never saw it in the garage thread on that other board...

[spike95]

That garage is the stuff dreams are made of. It looks like the perfect place to wrench on a classic... and the knuckle with girder forks just casually hanging on the wall... TOO MUCH MAN!

[ddjjeep]

Wow, very nice. I love the old school look. You have some nice rides there too.

[Bruce T]

Very cool indeed! How well does the floor hold up to welding?

Yeah...everything around me is flamable. I try to stick to TIG inside, I use the MIG out in the carport.

I just noticed this thread linked from the front page (thanks, Ryan)...and other than joining the rest of these guys in a "COOL GARAGE, MAN!", I am also left with two realizations.

1) No wonder the demand of old, weathered wood is so high.
2) I want a finger just like that!!

[MacTexas]

You have to have the only garage with a hard wood floor. It is really cool.

[flashredmkiv]

Wow those structures are amazing! We need to redo the exterior of our detached garage and am strongly considering going with the barn siding. Nice inspiration pics! Is that just transparent plastic sheeting for the roof?
