I finally finished my garage project, which consisted of some shelves and a small work bench for me. My garage is just a tiny single car hole so managing the space is a challenge especially since I want to park the car in the garage during winter storms or really cold weather so my kids have a slightly easier commute in the morning.

Anyway, here are some pics I hope you enjoy them:
First is my planning stage with some 3d modeling. Yeah I know, it's overkill but I had some time during the winter. Also I knew straight away how much material I was going to use. I even planned the dimensions so that I would have very little scrap material left.

Early rough design:

Getting my hands dirty.

The work bench was made out of a solid wood door that I got from a friend of mine, as he was going to throw them out anyway. It turned out very solid.

I still have to install the board with those little holes in it so that I can hang some of my hand tools there so it's not a 100% job done yet.
 
Looks like you did a very nice job for such a compact space. Also, you have a bit of room on a few shelves to store some more bottles of PYB!

Nice job. But I do not see the lift or huge air compressor or oil spills on the floor covered with oil-dry.

My Jeep and pickup were made to stay outside. My Bobcat is inside.
 
Thanks for the thumbs up guys.

Looks good! I'd bet you used every bit of catia's computing power for that design. Did you run any stress simulations?

I don't use Catia everyday anymore, so doing at least simple modeling keeps me somewhat familiar with it.

And for the record, I will be bringing some of my oil stash from the basement to make it BITOGERs garage
