What does your work area look like?

I wish it were mine, like I said! I just inhabit it

The decals are all real as well, from stages the owner competed on! Lots of interesting bits in there too!

Heres "mine"

A council garage...

Seen a particularly clean state:



I use the little bit of space behind the car for storage of jacks etc

and what else lies inside :

Storage down the farm

the hotrod lives in a tiny lockup at home

this is the entrance of the workshop :



where the Missus Toyota is normally parked... on the left there are three cars in storage (86 Scirocco, not mine, early 325I E30 convertible, also not mine and the 84 Passat);

now this is the look from the end of the workshop :



there is space for another two stored cars (The baywindow is not mine, it just pays rent)...





i have to clean up ;D




the best thing: the lifting platform (?) left from the previous owner, it is 30 years old though, but still working. Last security inspection in 1980 ;D

this is a dream of my lifetime; my own workshop. We bought a house together with my parents, so in fact we pay the same money each month as we paid before for renting a house and some lock-ups for all the cars...The first thing we saw from this house was the workshop, and my girlfriend pretends, that the workshop was the reason for buying the house. Which is, of course, not true... i liked the living room, the kitchen ;D ;D ;D

MrJ, i am in AWE of your garage, it looks fantastic!

Every time i drove into swansea on my way to uni, i would pass an abandoned garage with a two post lift in it. I made so many clandestine (sp?) plans to get it back home, but i never managaged

ahh well

Cheers for all the pics guys, its so diverse looking at what people make of the space they have, and what they produce regardless of facilities!

Well, not having a garage and only space off the road for one car (on which two are currently squeezed ) this 4 x 6 shed was my workspace until early last year. The workbench was about 1' x 2' and once I started needing to use a bench grinder reguarly for polishing work it was a bit cramped!



Then last year a new work project enabled me to expand into a nice new "big shed" ;D

This is how it is this morning.....





Recognise the sander/linisher J?



There's still a bit of space to utilise and sort out but whenver I clear it I end up with more stuff to squeeze in.

Oh, and here's my "work" work area. Plenty of retro car stuff in sight

That looks like an Oldsmobile hub cap on the side of the shed there. I've got a spare set like that for my car!

:-)

I thought Olds when I saw that too. I'm sure theres a Toyota CROWN with very similar caps too though

Some definite garage/workshop related OOF on show. Good thread. Nice to see none are particularly tidy

Rather shamefully, this is mine at it's tidiest:

It's literally under the house (about 75% buried) so remarkably stable temperature wise, but not as damp as I expected.

But then there's the Automotive Abattior:



And the lock-up:

(look familiar to anybody? )
