This is a two-car garage that I re-did in order to function as a place I could do carpentry, metal fabrication and also maintenance on my weekend car, a 1972 Porsche 911. I did all of the work myself, only spending about $3,500 for the whole deal, including the flooring, cabinets, workbenches and the in-ground hydraulic lift. Virtually everything in the place is second-hand, re-purposed or home-made. I call it the 12-Gauge Garage because that's the thickness of the steel in the second-hand Strong Hold cabinets I use for tool storage. The shelves in those cabinets are each rated to hold 1,900 pounds -- which is ridiculous and awesome at the same time.
