Walk Thru Garage Doors
I stumbled on these garage doors and thought they were interesting. Essentially, they implement a man-door in a working/traditional garage door. At first thought, this might seem like a double up of [...]
Inspiration
Let me guess… You are half way through your garage remodel and have lost steam. You are beginning to wonder why in the hell you started to begin with. Too much work, too much sweat, too much [...]
The Vices of The Garage Journal
This thread actually started in November of 2009. It has quickly become one of my favorite threads on the site… If you are into vices (and who isn’t?), you need to do yourself a favor and [...]
OKC Garage
I was browsing the Hillerman Collection, an archive of vintage photography from around the Oklahoma City area, and stumbled across this shot of an incredible garage. It makes me wonder if folks took [...]
Big Ass Fans
I was at a buddies shop this weekend and happened to look up. There was no way of missing it – My buddy had the biggest damned ceiling fan I’ve ever seen. I mean, it was huge. Of course, I [...]
Lamborghini Factory
A few years ago, we did a feature on the Ferrari factory… In fairness, we thought we should hit up the Lambo factory as well. The ideas that can be gathered for our own man spaces are admittedly [...]

The Cycle Shop

Heritage Barns
I’ve talked a ton about my love for old barns in the past. There’s just something about a structure that comes with it’s own history and soul. They speak to me… Anyway, [...]
Another Tool Box Restoration
A while back we featured a fella that restored toolboxes and posted his progress photos on Flickr. Well, he’s done with his latest and it is nothing short of gorgeous. We want one… [...]
Garage Scene
I’ve spent the last week hammering away on a new site and as such haven’t posted at all. My apologies… I did, however, go on a little reliability run in California last week and [...]
The Quirky Switch
This is pretty bitchin’… Quirky put their noggins towards developing a modular multi-tool. They came up with the Switch, which is essentially a folding tool with interchangeable bits. [...]
The Megabench
Our pals over at Make found another hidden jewel. Some man-room-maniac decided to build the ultimate work bench. As he did so, he recorded the process with his digital camera and uploaded the results [...]
EZ-Out Stories and Methods
A few months ago, I was was presented with a project that featured a broken EZ-Out in the oil pressure port (located next to the distributor) of a small block Chevrolet. I’ll spare you the [...]
