Your dream Garage (Page 2 of 2)

A couple friends at school always talked about the garagepartment which I really want at some point in my life (before I'm married perhaps?).  Ground level is a garage, with essentially a one or two bedroom loft above.  Nothing like stepping out of your bedroom onto a balcony that overlooks a racecar-filled garage below.

15" Ceiling you say?!? Stonehenge is in danger of being crushed by DWARVES!!!

That's really nice. I don't need lots of room, but in this one, there's no room for my CNC mill, CNC Lathe, Drill press and Mig/Tig

You've got to make hard choices with a small space.  But I've got 10 workbenches, a drill press, TIG, MIG, stick, and Oxy-Acetylene setups here.  There are a few kind of bench-mountable shears and tube benders tucked in there. 

And while there's no mill, but I've got a fair amount of abrasive capability packed into what I call my 'swiss army bench.'

Down below, the table saw stows so you can slide it out. Some clamps, too.

With more grinders on the other side.  (None of the grinders -- and almost none of the other tools -- were bought new.)

And in fairness, the Oxy-Acetylene, MIG, TIG and stick welders are in one section of the shed I built along the driveway. 

And here's the drill press.  It was originally a floor model, but I had to make it a benchtop.  This bench it's sitting on was made by chopping a damaged Equipto cabinet into two pieces, and (since they split 4/5) adding a false face on one size with a sideways air hose reel behind it).  The tool stack on the right was made out of two very old Lista cabinets that had been damaged enough that I was only able to get one out of the pair.
