Hey guys, I wanted to get some ideas and feedback on turning half of my attached insulated and sheetrocked 2-1/2 car garage into a nice workshop.. i would like to see pics if you dont mind ofcourse.. of your shop/work area even if its not in your garage! Feedback on things like what kind of heat/air you have if any.. ventilation and whats best to keep storage safe (balsa wood etc.) cabinent space shelving peg board floor covering.. benchtop covering and things like that. I appreciate any and all feedback and i figured it was a good time and maybe give us something new to showcase and talk about. Stay safe guys and thanks in advance.

I have a large garage with a interior room in one corner that's 8x16' and to be honest that's a little small. I'm quickly spilling over into the main garage. I'll also be interested in what others have to say.

Just some thoughts running through my head:
Pegboard on wall is good for light duty storage
Add Plywood or OSB wood to the walls for heavier storage I'm thinking of a French Cleat system in some areas (see You Tube)
Build a nice mobile roller table/cabinet for final model setup and assembly (see You Tube)
Actually most of your major electrical tools could be on mobile tables (saws, drill press, grinder etc.)
And the list goes on...

Perfect.. good info appreciate the suggestions.

The wife offered to build an addition for me. 16'x16', I took her up on it!

Man you can hang some nice airplanes from that cathedral ceiling!! And your wife is either really cool.. or you were really getting on her nerves enough to get a new addition! Lol

The real question is: Does she have a sister!!!
