For medium weight items, I use the wall mount brackets. I have them on three walls of an ancillary room to the garage. What I like about it is I can use 12" shelves on the lower levels and 24" shelves up top.

I used 6"x12" beams for the bench surface. Ridiculous I know, but I wanted a long unencumbered span between the supports. You can put your car on that bench. Don't be jealous of that 1991 Plymouth Colt sneaking into the picture. :)
By the way - I imported that belt grinder from Oz. One of my favorite tools.

HA! Very similar to mine, including the clutter!;)
I built mine from lumber years ago too. Added peg board above the bench and plain old kitchen cabinets above across the whole lot. Then put continuous flour lites under the cabinets to light up the bench.
Looks like an old Vidmar tool chest on the right. Good old stuff. I have one in the same place!;)

Cool setups Paul and Glen. I love sheds and workshops near as much as the cars inside them.
Keep us posted on the bench build Albanycobra.
Cheers

Not for newbies, Gav. You need to get a few posts under your belt first.

I'm coming up on 2000 so hopefully that's the problem.
It's probably more like every kid in the district playing call of duty on line. |

I like your ramps, Bernie, they're manual lift up jobbies I see. Nice, simple, robust.

KwikLift. Love it! Many guys here have them.
No mechanical or electric parts and solid as a rock. Raises the car about 20", which is perfect for me floating around on my creeper underneath.;)
KWIKLIFT - The perfect carlift for your home garage or commercial shop |

i scored about 4 metre long pallet racking that locks into itself and for the shelfs i used old solid house doors from a salvage yard as they were the right width and cheap 10 bucks each i think i used 6 doors all up and ive manged to fill them with junk and spare parts for the race car .
i am too embarrassed to take a pic of the inside of my shed atm it needs a major tidy up hence why the cobras been built on the enclosed carport on the house and i rent workshop space to build my trailers lol .. bigger the racking the bigger the shed and more junk to store :-)

Well, it's no beer fridge. And between the dear wifey of 31 years and the Cobra, there is no cash! :eek::eek:;) |

Nice big area to work with! Wish I had something like that.
The painful part is hauling everything out, sorting and storing it somewhere, and then getting busy with the organizational plan for the "new and improved" garage! Follow the threads here on ideas that I wish I had thought of.
How do I know this? I'm about to go through the same on a smaller scale. Building a 900 s.f. new garage (largest allowed in my area).
Paying up the arse for storage and no idea when I will be done is frustrating!:eek: |
