I've been in the house for five months, so there's still plenty to do. The area in the back left will be a large welding table shortly.

Sean, I like the neons in your garage. I'm going to look into some.

Here is mine. 2x4 benches on three sides,no bench where the drivers door needs to open. I have to walk sideways down each side of the car. Building is 12 x 20 w/ a loft for spare parts.

My work benches aren't fancy but they work, garage is unfinished at this point so i haven't done anything fancy. Just 2x6s and plywood with some 2x4 supports to the wall.

First shot is my parts bench, I'm currently working on my 2.0L
My father in law works at a liquor store and has given me a bunch of wine boxes, they are screwed into the wall and make for great shelving for free.

solid wood doors make great bench tops.....

I got a few from a building remodel...something like 4'x8' in size.....so heavy I had to drag the darn things out of my truck into the garage....

sometimes the home repair places will have returned or damaged doors at a deep discount...don't be afraid to ask for even more of a discount (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hi Kerry,
I picked up a great wordworking bench at an auction a few weeks ago. It's an Ulmia about 7 1/2 ft long with 2 vices. German company I think went out of busniss for a while and now are back. It's way too crowded in my garage right now. 3 cars in a two car garage and not much space to work. My wife is temporarily using the bench as a serving table in our dinning room and I have to say it looks pretty good there. Not sure if I'll get it back. Your engine is in the garage, back worktable on the right. Good luck with the table and your six project.
Larry

These shots don't show it real well but I'm using a commercial hollow metal door for my work bench top. I think it is 20 ga. sheet metal. heavy as hell. Bolt my vice right to it.

Its a 3070 (3' x 7').

It was left over from a job I did.
Did I say "left over" I should have said I ordered an extra door when I bought the door package. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The cabinets on the back wall came out of a office breakroom I renovated.

Once a door is damaged they'll just about give it to ya.

MDF is amazing stuff, i.e., cheap, looks nice and when you destroy it just turn it over. And no splinters!

I'm a big fan of the stuff.
2 X 2 & 2X4 covered with MDF.

The TVR at the front of the garage is a 71 2500M. It's my son's car that we picked up a few years ago and are just about finished. It has a TR6 engine and trans and parts from the shelves of many British car companies. It's been a blast to work on and he'll probable track it this summer. Did almost a complete restoration. Nice to work on a car that doesn't rust. Lucas electrical parts presents a whole other challenge. Needed seats so we picked up 2 914 shells at Hershey a few years ago. Had to be narrow and they worked well.

Mine. Very messy.

16 feet wide
36 inches deep
44 inches high
1-1/8 inch ply top
2x6 frame
4x4 legs

44 inches may be a little taller than most, but I like my work where I can see it.

My shop is 24' x 30' at 14' tall. The area above the bench is a storage loft (24'x10'x6')
