Default I almost have the new garage all setup.

Well the first thing i did when we moved into the new house was epoxy the floor. You can see parts of it in the various pics below, that job alone was a PIA!!!

So here is what i started with.





Here is the framework of the bench



Here is the start of the shelves



Next was a pretty cool idea i had about mounting my drill press. I made a section of the bench detached then I added HD drawer slides so when i need it i can pull it out, then when it is not being used i just push it back.





Construction complete


Everything stained and peg-board mounted






FINALLY all my stuff is unpacked!!



This spot is reserved for my new 60gallon air compressor that i will be buying this weekend!



last but not least, i added 2 rows of 4ft fluorescent lights, they do a great job of lighting up the garage.

Next, i am going to build some more shelves around the new air compressor and make some more shelves on the other side of the garage... Slowly but surely it is coming along... This 3car garage has to hold me over until about 1-2years that is probably the soonest we can build my shop..
