As far as work tops go fire round to the nearest MFI and have a gander in the damage/shite/past sell by date section and you can pick up all sorts of worktops cupboards etc. It doesnt matter what they look like in a garage

A good place for getting tools, vices/spanners and odds and sods like Jacks, welders etc are the farm dispersal sales, used to get some good gear from them.

My Garage

On the back wall MOD shelving to hold the labelled power tool storage boxes, along side that is the wire stitcher. on the side wall a twin head booklet maker/stitcher on castors next to that an MOD linoleum topped metal bench with vice, next to that a fridge freezer (upright) takes less space, got to keep the beer cool, next to that is an A3 Two Colour printing press. On the other wall is the drawing board A.O. size.

Central floor area is occupied by the two bikes, wouldn't want either of them to get lonely on their own, I also have two 5ft fluorescent lights and a lead lamp two heaters (fan heater and a convector) a radio essential for those long dark nights and several double sockets along both sides. Stored on a shelf is the turntable for turning the bikes round. I did not go along the fitted carpet route rather have the versatility of carpet tiles easier to shift if there is mucky work afoot. Put two coats of floor paint on and don't forget to use concrete sealer first or the paint will lift at the drop of a hat.

Steel side door, window is barred and the up and over is electrically operated, keep the remote on a high shelf in the kitchen away from little fingers lol.

As an aside the garage is generally tidier than the house the female of the species only being admitted with hot beverages and then sent packing.

I likes my garage I do.

Dont forget the old stereo, you should find one of those in the loft, they usually have a shagged CD player, and be sure to wire the speakers up with an old length of 3 core electrical cable, you will probably find some of that holding a tree up in garden. While your up in loft look for a old kettle, for brewing up in gararge. When you got the bench in place cover every available space on the work surface with tools, old rags & half drunk mugs of tea (I can supply photos to give you some ideas) that gives you a good excuse to bring your work into kitchen where it's nice warm to work. Make sure you display all those tricky looking tools " the ones that you dont know how use and aint got a clue what their for" (usually have gauges on them) in a prominent position to impress friends & neighbours, and while your at it you may as well get all them tools out you borrowed years a'go and never bothered to return. O dont forget to wire the garage up to the house alarm, put the sensor on a shelf, if it keeps falling over place a large can of paint in front of it.
Hope that's of some help :yo:

Ps you will need a bucket (dont ask) :m

Another that sounds daft.. paint the walls and ceiling white. If you buy a couple of cans of crap white emulsion from B and Q or whatever the light levels will be increased dramatically
Paint the floor also it keep the dust down loads
I've cut a couple of 2.5" holes in my worktop (Why) Cos if I take anything to bits I put the bits ie nuts bolts washers ect in a empty muller rice tub and then the tubs slip into the holes and if i need to work elsewhere in the garage
they can be moved without fear of them dropping out of your hand
