Need ideas for my new garage

Why not simply build your own work bench? That way you get exactly what you want.

 

A couple reasons: I don't have tools to build one meaning saws, etc., and by the time I spend the amount of money on supplies, tools, etc., I could have went out and bough a perfectly good one for less.

I was thinking of something like this: Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

Loving these Uti Mate cabinets from Sears: Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

and this Crafstman unit as well: Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

 

too bad you dont live near by, i have one of those that I dont use........

Orchard has basically the same thing, only longer and two drawers. thats what I got. I replaced the cheap Particle board with thicker masonite

 

Haha, yeah that would be awesome! I am going to start browing CL, but after talking with the fiance this morning, other areas of the house have precedence over my garage...we will see about that

What do you think of either the Craftsman of Ulti Mate cabinets Kilo?

 

I bet if you talk to the guys building the house they would make you one for next to nothing

 

Well seeing that the construction is already completed, I doubt that will happen. Its not a private build; its more of a "track" home. Realy tight regulations and stuff...

 

Well scratch that idea I thought you were still in the planning stages.

 

No sir! We actually move in February 8th. Money is tight so that's why I wan't to do things as cheaply as possibly, but not with skimping on quality. Stopped by Sears and took a look at the evolve cabinets. Really not too bad of a price but I would like to take a peak at the Ulti-Mate stuff as well. I am really digging the Starfire Pearl color. I think I may have posted the Gray a couple of posts ago.

I also think I am going to do the floor my self. As long as I prep the floor with Muriatic Acid, I sshould be fine really. I have a friend who is going to help me I think so it should work out just fine. Now I need to figure out whether I want to use the Quick Krete stuff oh Behr. Any suggestions?

 

I think I found the cabinet I want guys! If anyone has experience with Ulti-Mate, please let me know!

I plan on doing either this right above a work bench. I was hoping to find something that sort of matched this cupboard. Not sure if the Starfire color is what I will go with, but I figure it would look stunning with light/dark gray on the walls and a gray floor! They do offer a silver color and black as well. They look to be pretty well built and nice looking to boot!

Does anyone know of a work bench out there that has a little stainless on it for a good price? I may see if my builder can have his guys build me one real quick and I could always add the stainless touches to it!

 

That is really nice..... very modern and sleek.

 

Yeah, I am diggin' it Kilo! I think I may pick up 2 of them at the local Sears if they have them in that color and price. Still need to get a work bench as well. Also have to texture the walls.....I have never textures before, shouldn't be too bad, should it?

 

This may be my new work bench...Shop Kobalt 3-Drawer Workbench at Lowes.com

Let me know what you guys think! I need something small and compact, but large enough to throw parts onto without them getting lost.

 

Uh oh....this is stainless and not that expensive....

Thanks for posting and the kind words! Your garage looks really nice. I think I am going to try to do something similar with the split paint scheme. I was thinking a couple of different gray colors separated by maybe white, black. Or red.
