I've seen this garage before and couldn't remember where. Then I picked up my Ultimate Garages book and found it. You never mentioned your garage was famous. It was one of my favorite garages in the book. Simple, nostalgic, and not perfect.

I haven't been on this site in a while. But was my shop actually in a book? I have been working on it a little lately since winter is coming on and the roof blew off last year I put a dormer on it to gain a little more headroom for lighting (used to be about 6 foot high). But haven't been working on much car stuff lately.

Another new shot of the neglected T.

And I moved my louver press out into the barn.

Your garage is by far the nicest I've seen. I have one request, can you flip the American flag so that it is displayed properly? The Stars & Blue are always supposed to be in the upper left hand corner when displayed, (whether horizontally or vertical). Also, any interest in selling that flat-side Shovel?

Thanks, I'm always surprised when people like my dirty little shop as much as I do...seems folks like things spotless and new nowdays.

Maybe I'll have to change the flag orientation (I didn't know it had a proper direction when hanging that way. And I sold the old pan/shovel about a year ago.

Actually, the flag in this photo is displayed correctly (http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html):

...& I really like that "skylight" - any hints how to add one to a shed type roof?

This is one of the posts I return to time and again to look at the details. Excellent place to work! Thanks for the updates. :thumbup:

I don't understand the finger thing. It means up your B*tt.. Who would want to stick they're finger up someone elses B*tt ?

From what I was told in college was that it is a display of your ********, basically saying, I will kuck you. Mind you this was the most irreverent professor at the school brought it up when somebody in class waved it at another student.

Tman · Feb 18, 2009

Lookin good Nimrod, any other new projects we should see?

Gustav_t · Feb 18, 2009

Awesome.. those rooms have so much atmosphere I can literally smell the old bearing grease and wood.

If there was a top 5 here we would only have to figure out number 2, 3, 4 and 5.

That crane/support on top of the louver press is ingenious.

Great shop, my favorite "character" shop.

How about an update on the projects coming out of nimrod's garage..

Nimrod · Aug 17, 2009

Sorry no projects of any significance in the last while (least not done). I did pick up a new 'round town shop truck.

And you can see the new roof on the shop and carport I've done recently...watertight (well almost).

Nimrod · Aug 17, 2009

You guys might appreciate this, beefed up the flimsy piece of **** Webber BBQ that the ****** aluminum legs would always fall out of. Baby buggy barbeque! Even has suspension.

Uncle Buck · Aug 17, 2009

So what are your plans for your new truck? I must admit, I am thinkin it looks mighty nice just the way it is.

voodoowagon · Aug 18, 2009

What more can I say but WOW. Awesome place you have, can I sleep on the oily wood floor next time I am in your neck of the woods, haha

Enloe · Aug 26, 2009

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.

-Jeff

That is a very kewl garage. Is that an old Onkyo receiver on the floor?

hcs1947 · Aug 28, 2009

That is one awesome garage space, loads of character! Nice vehicles too...
Is that a Merrimac canoe? Always wanted one of those.

Probably the same one. It was in Felton...I'd been kinda looking for one for a couple years and it helped that this one was close.

It'll stay stock.

rohrt · Aug 29, 2009

I just joined this forum and that is by far the coolest damb garage I have ever seen.

I love the little home made bench stool made out of three cam shafts and a flex plate

vtwin40 · Sep 12, 2009

i would like the old harleys cool?

woof359 · Sep 15, 2009

wood floor is great, small, clean, and organized, all a man needs, well maybe some tunes (-:

Gizzy · Sep 20, 2009

Is that a stool made out of flywheels and crankshafts in the bottom left-hand corner? Looks pretty neat...

Terry · Dec 18, 2009
