Garage Storage

[TamSV]

Thought I’d put this up on the org as no-one’s interested round here [emoji23]

Moved house just before lockdown. Got all the decoration done and can now get onto the garage.

I wanted storage and a decent workbench at the back of the garage. I was looking at the metal/roller bearing/dream garage stuff but it’s mega bucks.

I had an ex demo kitchen from MFI in my last garage and it was great, so settled for the cheapo IKEA KNOXHULT units - 2 each of the base and wall units. Filled in the gap with some Contiboard shelves. Metal peg board from Amazon, cheapo led strip lights and a 3 metre oak worktop bought online. Less than £700 for the lot.

Still a fair bit just for a garage but I’m funny like that [emoji3]

Looks great, and sounds like good value as well. Nice.

Always interested in what you're up to Tam :D Looks fantastic, i just wish i had a garage I'm still using an umbrella in the garden :sad: :p

That's a really useful looking set up Tam.

Is that a coaster on the worktop by the vice?? In a garage???

I'd be frightened of getting things dirty :D

I was going to say... it looks better than our kitchem!


Considering how much time I spend in the garage I think my family really should invest in this sort of thing for me :-)

Funny you should say that. Was thinking the same myself. [emoji6]

It was a sample of PVC interlocking floor tiles but, yeah, I’m using it as a coaster. [emoji851]

The last one had an oak top too and it does end up black eventually.

Sorted out my saw storage with these magnetic holders. According to my daughter it’s “giving major serial killer vibes” [emoji23]

Used up the height with some shelves above the garage doors. Good for the less frequently used stuff like decorating tools.

To keep the workbench free I’ve mounted a couple of things (like this ‘ere bench grinder) on bases that I can secure in the woodworking vice. Works a treat.

Nicked the idea from somewhere but don’t recall where.

All the washing and polishing gear on an IKEA Billy bookcase. Spray guns hanging on a couple of kitchen cabinet handles. [emoji106]

And finally, shadow foam in the toolbox gives me immense pleasure every time I open a drawer.

I’ve been accused of OCD but I don’t think it’s that. It’s definitely something though[emoji23]

:smt103 Those saws have some "Final Destination" vibes hanging like that, especially the ones with the nunchuck style handles :reaper:

[maviczap]

[Geodude]

Looks great Tam not scary at all ;)

[TamSV]
