I can now see the floor, I have filled up two bike boxes with crap, found loads of ‘missing’ stuff and I polished all the surfaces with GT85 so now it smells proper again!

yey!

…it’s where I hide my homebrew and it now has added heat.

Wheeeeey toooo tidy, but nice!

I can almost get Project69 in there, just a few more boxes of rubbish to shift and it’s game on.

Why aren’t the firebox thingy’s legs not directly on the ground? (Seeing as the ground is stone…)

Definitely too tidy, too.

Why aren’t the firebox thingy’s legs not directly on the ground?

because its a portable stove only 500mm high and I have a bad back.

only tidy because it was just finished. It is now taking its first tentative steps towards a more “teenager bedroom bombsite” state of existence….

There are no wheeled things in there! Mowers & mixer don’t count.

A garage should be like one of these puzzles

If you can walk straight in you are doing it wrong and don’t have maximum amount of man toys for the man shed. Moving anyone item should require a huge re-jig of the all man toys.

your floor is missing stainage, choose from the following and apply liberally:
– engine oil
– paint
– charcoal
– brake fluid
– blood

It’s a real dump can’t find a thing but its got bikes in it 😉

And brakes , mines got a lovely gearbox oil stain and stinks at the door thanks to poxy drive shaft seal on my van ! even antifreeze hasnt drawn it out e concrete. .

Mines due its weekly tidy up

Trout…. I always thought you had a much bigger garage !!!!

Given what you do , didnt you talk about building a trial landy a bit back ? Did you do the build on your drive ? Id like ti deck out my garage down one side like that but my want to get the land rover in fairly often to work on itduring the cold prohibits perminant structures

Missing a lot of jam jars with assorted nails and screws in them

but I have a collection of sticks for stirring paint.

Not posted mine before, here it is:-

It’s these sorts of posts that make me annoye that the mrs got her way in the house buy. Nice house & garden, small shed 🙁

I love mine because there are spiders so my wife dosen’t like going in there 😉

I must get a stool and a heater for it though judging be everyone elses.

I need to tidy up my man cave… mostly I need tool chests.

can anyone recommend me some tool cabinets like the ones in trail_rat’s pictures?

Dave

*jointer envy* @ nicknoxx 🙁

Mine is just like one of those puzzles only it has 16 tiles in it.

Mine is getting there. So far:

Slab with about a metre cubed of overspill removed by brf, on Flickr

Hand Made Cambridge White Imperial Bricks for the Workshop by brf, on Flickr

Just need to find a brickie next….

halfords are doing buy one half get the other half free at the moemnt

think 249 for top and bottom.

im needing 4 drawer mid units – my tool boxs are getting cramped :S

they were on special at 69quid when i bought the roll cab and i wish id bought 1 then.

im reluctant to buy them at 99 quid as i know halfords will put them on special next month if i do !

spotted these from machine mart

bottom bit of this: £167

top bit of this: £78

looks cheaper than I could spot on halfrauds website

Dave

Mine but I do need a better bench 😥

I think nicknoxx can’t claim his is a ‘man cave’ it’s got a bunch of flowers in it!

Although that table saw does tend to redeem it 🙂

I don’t have any recent pictures, but this is mine before I moved in last year:

i have that top box – but branded as sealey. got it as a graduation present from my dad.

the bottom chest looks better than what ive got – mines the halfords pro 5 drawer – but i only paid 120 quid for it in a sale – halfords stuff is only good value when on sale.

was the deal i was on about – but for 4 quid my moneys on the clarke stuff !

Its got a fridge in it … a big one & full of beer

…. and its a sanctuary that the kids, mrs and even the dog doesn’t like

…. theres even a bike in there somewhere!

Same single Garage a few years ago with the landy project
99% of the work was done inside due to the bastid next door neighbour.

I seem to need a bigger workshop for these little projects now

sold the trialer and it is still going strong the new owner even tested my welding out with a forward roll

How come my “man cave” has overspill from the house, old cooker, sofa, second freezer etc
No shadow boards in mine all tools locked away since break in

cheers trout – thats what my garage will be like once i finish tearing the body work off my 90.

im planning to keep the look of the 90 with mine – will get all the welding done inside as my neighbours little boy has down syndrome and is noise sensitive, then wheel it back out to do the body work.

Here’s mine – I was working on setting it up on Christmas Eve much to the amusement of my other half

It’s a bit crap actually, I’m saving for a Sedgwick

I think nicknoxx can’t claim his is a ‘man cave’ it’s got a bunch of flowers in it!

Although that table saw does tend to redeem it

Flowers are for the campervan which is now in it’s winter ‘builders van’ mode. Table saw is superb.

Very jealous of the man caves. I’ve just got a three tiny sheds (ex-coal bunker and outside lavvy) crammed full of stuff.

Slightly concerned by the number of bikes with apparently no security though.
Where are the ground anchors, U-locks, and security chains?

Graham

number 1 id never put photos of my locks and security on here

number 2 – mines bar the 2 commuter bikes live else where that is easier to secure than the main garage and away from all the powertools/power

number 1 id never put photos of my locks and security on here

Exactly.

Rottwieler & man-traps always out of shot.

Any man cave must have plenty of trip hazards and plenty of pointy sharp things.
