A garage may be a boring place to some but for me it is a relaxing place. Although it is my father’s garage he has gave me one half of it. There are many things on my half of the garage, such as: my air compressor, toolboxes, cabinets, and many other things.
If you were to walk out of my garage door that leads into the garage and turned to the left the first thing you would see is my vise. It is a four inch standard vise with a rotating base. It is blue in color with metal finish handles. It is bolted on a custom stand which is mounted to the floor. If you took one more step you would be head on with my bench grinder. It is a six inch dual grinder. One side is for grinding metals, while the other side is for stripping paint and rust off of metal. It is also mounted to the floor on a special stand.
Another step forward would lead to my air compressor set up. I have two fifteen gallon air compressors hooked up in parallel. They are both black, with cast iron motors. They both have output ratings of 4.2 scfm (standard cubic feet per minute) at 90 psi (pounds per square inch), which totals them together at 8.4 scfm at 90 psi. They are connected by copper lines, which resist moisture better than standard air hose. There is also a “tee” in the lines which connects them to my hose reel. The hose reel has a red cover with a black retractable fifty foot hose which is topped of with a quick connector for changing my air tools fast and easy.
After turning right, would be my toolboxes. My first one is my Harbor Freight Tool Box. It is red in color with chrome handles. It is four feet wide by three and a half feet tall. It also has thirteen extremely large drawers which are split down the middle. The top drawer which goes all the way across is full of heavy duty things like: pry bars, hammers, knifes, picks, chisels, drill bits, and pipe wrenches. Starting on the left side going down would be my quarter inch socket drawer. All of my ¼ in sockets, ratchets, and drivers are in this drawer. I also keep my screwdrivers in there. Under that drawer would be my 3/8 in drive socket drawer. I keep all of my 3/8 in drive sockets, ratchets, extensions, and adaptors in that drawer. Then there is my ½ drive drawer, wrench drawer, specialty wrench drawer, and electrical drawer. On the right side going down would be my pliers drawer, locking pliers drawer, air tool accessories drawer, impact gun/air ratchet drawer, my air hammer and sander drawer, and last but not least my specialty tools, such as: pullers, pickle forks, etc.
I also have a Craftsman tool box, next to the Harbor Freight one, which is about five feet tall but only two and a half feet wide. It is black with silver handles and houses most of my power tools. Things like drills, saws, and grinders are kept in there. Above the tool boxes are cabinets. They are old wooden cabinets that are painted white but they do the job. I keep things like: car parts, bondo, spray cans of all kinds, and many other things up there.
Next to the storage section would be a floor cabinet that I keep my oil pans and drips pans in. I also keep my jack stands in there. And one step over you would see my jacks sitting on the floor. One is a bright orange which is a bigger jack that I use for lifting my jeep, while the other one is used for lower cars because of its low profile stance.
At the very end of my side of the garage would be some ladders, pipes, scrap metal, some 2x4’s, and a hand truck. As you can see I have a very full “half garage”. Somehow I can manage to fit two cars, all of my stuff, and my dad’s things in a two and a half car garage. In case you have forgotten what order things were in I drew a little map.
