Very nice shop-Congratulations!

I agree with your decision to finish it off w/ OSB on the inside. I did that on mine,painted it white,and it has held up very well,and I work out of my garage full time. It's really handy to be able to screw or nail anything anywhere. It is a pain to have to readjust where you really want something just because you need to hit a stud,even up here where our buildings have studs 16" OC. When I built my garage,sheetrock prices were high,and Home Depot had a killer sale on OSB. The OSB was only $1.50 per sheet more.

[JWall]

Thank you! Glad to hear your feedback on the OSB.

[Advanced Design]

The retractable reels are very handy. What brand electric reel did you get?

The shop part of my building has OSB walls painted white and they have held up really well.

Your shop is looking really good.

[JWall]

Thank you.

It's a Reel Works electrical reel from Northen Tool.
I got it as a gift but seems & looks nice and has 3 outlets on the end.

PepBoys has some cool nostalgic signs.....been buying them up for my garage...

Thanks to LOW1TON's help, I got the cabinets mounted & counter top on last night... 10 feet of countertop & lots of nice storage...

[77c10]

Your cabinets look good. I've been lucky enough to get wall and base cabinets from two schools that were being renovated to put in my garage. I've got probably 48 feet of base cabinets with counter top and around 24 feet of wall cabinets.

[JWall]

Got hardware installed on the cabinets...

Few more pics...






Tried to take 360 view with panoramic...

Just a few small things:
I got a new air compressor & wired for 220.
I got a cabinet for my cleaning supplies.
Got a whiteboard up for shop to do lists.
And of course some new wall art here & there.

[OutlawDrifter]

justin, you'll like that compressor, i have an older model of it. it has done me quite well.

i like the matchbox display/grill!

Good to hear about the compressor! I am pleased with it so far.

I'd seen the hotwheels display idea online & I had an extra 76 grille so figured it made good wall art.

Great shop build . I have a Reno / raising to attempt this summer . Love the hot wheels in the old grille . I have one of those somewhere that I'm going to dig out asap to do the same .

My best compliments to the owner of that pole barn! I really envy you....I wish I had a large, flat space and a garage at least that size.

I'm seeing some good things: good lighting, high ceilings (will you put in a lift?), plenty of storage space, and I think I am seeing "Ez Armor" for the side door. If so, that's an excellent choice.

Kick in attacks are super common where I live, I have EZ Armor on all my doors, house and garage.

I do plan to put in a lift at some point. That's why I went with the higher than standard ceiling.

Yes, I do have EZ Armor on the door. I'd heard good things about it & decided to put it on there for a little added strength if anyone got any bad ideas.
Side Note: The "Door Club" work great too for stopping kick-ins.
They just have to be put in place from the inside.

Nice shop!
