“L” Shaped Workshop…

Nearly 1 year on … We have the workshop in the garage set up and running!

The first photo below is a wide shot of the third stall with the workbench top fitted to the mid-rise scissors lift. The plan is to make this stall into a “convertible” workspace that will accommodate both auto maintenance and big wood working projects. The mid-rise lift provides a wonderful adjustable height base for the workbench. The only problem is what to do with the work surface when a car is in place?

The next two photos show the back wall of the third garage stall with our toolboxes, metal pegboard, and teardown bench in place. The galvanized metal pegboard from Wall-Control is absolutely great! Their product is well conceived and provides for not only tool storage and shelving … but light brackets as well. A few hours of organizing resulted in the arrangement seen here (it will probably evolve from here).

The last photo here shows our first project nearly complete. We are building three Nordic ski waxing stations to be used during the High School racing season this year.

First … the plan (Google Sketch-Up)

Next … the (nearly complete) project. The adjustable height 4’ x 8’ work surface made this effort convenient and fun!
