Since the inlaws were in town it got me motivated to get out and get the barrel stove installed. I called Randy and with his help we finally got it finished. This should keep it nice and toasty when the real cold weather finally arrives.



Here are a few pics :

Thanks guys. It's not really cold today but I built a fire this morning because I could. I got it up to 80 degrees before I decided to back it down.

When it comes time for me to get some proper land and build a proper garage I might just print this thread out and hand it to the contractor.

The inlaws were still in town so I went out in the shop and worked on building a small wood rack for inside the shop. I still plan to keep the bulk of the wood outside, but it is getting old running back and forth each time I need another piece. I used some free 1.5" square tubing I got last week and built this:

I think the scale of the picture is misleading. The length of the bed is only about 30" and the uprights are 15" tall. It will probably hold 20 pieces of wood max. I don't think that amount of wood will bend it.

I just got home from my first visit to the Garage-Mahal and let me say..................... pictures don't do it justice.

But, it really needs a Kegerator. 8)

Seeing pics yesterday of Cash's slightly less than organized garage it reminded me I hadn't posted updates to this thread in over a year. Here are a few additions since last year:

Shop sink and medicine cabinet:


Image


Metal storage shelves:

Image


Overhead shelf:

Image


New post-mounted self-retracting electrical reel:

Image


Custom awning for personnel door:

Image


Refrigerator with custom storage cabinet:

Image

Image


Exhaust fan with louvers:

Image

Image


(3) 56" Industrial Ceiling Fans and controls:

Image

Image


I custom painted my bench grinder and drill press to match the shop decor:

Image

Image

More to come...stayed tuned!
