well just went on with the seat , maybe i got the best of both worlds now .. its got more flair and style but still fits in the whole shop atmosphere

just made a baseplate to cover the ripped of tiles on the floor (previous glued bench) and made a raising block , angled the sofa on there , closed the tunnelgap , added a chrome logo and made arm rests and painted those chrome

thnx ! and yes stuff like that will be added , but i build what comes up atm ... its like i dont build stuff in a certain order lol :)

like so much will be added tool boxes included , also a partswasher , acyteleen bottles on a cart , jack stands , extension cord .. tools and so on :)

and well about your garage just build .. if i compare this garage to my previous thisone is 10 times more detailed .. every time you grow and want to do better , thats the fun right :)

just started on the first hand wrench , a test .. printed on thick paper and cut the largest one out ... that was way to shin .. so i used the cut hole in the paper sheet as a template and put thin plastic under it and went over it with a black marker ..

then started cutting filing and sanding the plastic untill i got this >

one issue is its hard to make anything smaller then this and since i dont want to buy anything and build everything myself i have to really try hard to make smaller ones .. also some need to be duble sided and some with rings .. hmmmmzzzz

put some chrome on the wrench , here next to the drill for an idea

now srewdrivers and a hammer and stuff like that will be easy those are not as hard .. take a screwdriver i have not tryed one yet but i know if i cut a steel pin (like on the first picture) the edge is already flat , then i cut the pin to the right size and heat it and put some plastic on it as a handle , sand that and paint that and done ..

a hammer is also easy some wood , styrene hammer head , paint that silver ...

its the wrenches that will be hard to make smaller now..

pffft managed to make a tiny wrench , still needs sanding shape wise .. but its tiny ..

now not neirly as nice as etched wrenches but i just want to try and make it myself and add to the .....

now the idea is to make a set going up in size and put it on a plate on the wall i think then it will look nice

make or break ...

made a wood panel and covered that in brass plate , now i can hammer in pins to hang the tools on .. there are fancy systems to hang them but i like this , self made and they looked best like this ....

now when the panel is painted and the tools chromed .. i hope they look good

on this shot i feel they are right .. just because everything else is handcrafted .. and etched tools would maybe be too perfect in here ??

thnx guys .. :)

just started on a toolcart .. very rough start and in rough primer .... made a top and bottom , drawr from copper plate

10906238_568418493291065_651160812537360

choosen to make old style handles instead of modern grips that are like the strips over the whole width of a drawr ...

the top drawrs got smaller pin handles and i added a side handle to push or pull the cart around

i also washed the floor , now these are not ment to be tiles but vinyl in checker motive .. so it needed to look like people walked on there for a while :)

on the picture i see on the bench armrest there is a slight white blurr from the superglue .. i need to wipe that off .. pictures show everything right :)
