Making the Most of a Small Garage - It's Shop Tour Time!

[@steveg1122]

This is a great video. My "shop" is 24x24 with a 10x16' side room-motorcycle area. I get tired of these videos of 30x50 1 car garage all spotless-yours looks like it's actually used. I've been trying for years to organise mine without spending $100,000 on storage stuff and you gave me a few ideas, thank you.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Happy to hear it was helpful! Yeah, I don't have any high dollar storage solutions, mostly things I've built myself and the few tool boxes. I like doing fabrication and auto repair and a bunch of other stuff in there, so it's a working shop not a show room :) Good luck with your space!

[@stephane153]

Clever use of the space, you can see it's a garage where stuff really happens. The sink in the corner is a great addition. Thanks for sharing.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Thanks, yeah, multi-use workshop space for sure...and the sink is a must have, being able to wash up without coming into the house is so nice.

[@henkelsmallenginerepair]

Very inspiring setup for smaller spaces thanks for sharing! Looks great!

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the compliment :)

[@ZJIGGA]

You have an awesome and well thought out garage! Everything has a place and there’s a place for everything. I have never seen a lift like the one you have. It looks interesting! As a firefighter, I appreciate the 2 fire extinguishers you have in the garage! Be safe working in the garage buddy

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Hey, appreciate it! I have a video on the lift itself if you wanted more details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnjHo41opN2dbpo Yup, one ABC and one C02...I've added another small BC as well since this video by the man door, just in case...always take safety seriously, especially with welding/grinding.

@@authorityfigure1630 even small spaces you can do awesome things! Good luck with your project!

[@vinceblanchard1069]

You’re garage is way to clean. We also need more info on the scissor lift. I’ve been eyeballing both the 2 and 4 post lofts but you’re flush mounted scissor lift has me intrigued.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Yeah, I just like clean/bright/organized workspaces lol honestly though, the white paint on the walls and the lights is what makes it look like that. Check the description, I left a link to my video with all the details on the lift. I absolutely love the form factor, never in the way like a 2/4 post.

[@SmackeysGarage]

Your shop tour was great! I've been watching your videos and didn't realize how well set up and thought out your shop is.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Hey! Thanks, it has been out of necessity to cram all the things I want to do in the space I have, I only wish my garage was as big as yours (it's a 3 bay right? based on your latest vid thumbnail), would make a huge difference.

[@keneldred9030]

Very nicely set up garage! Everything is so organized! Keep up the great work and take care!

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Appreciate it! :)

[@jamesp9998]

FYI I had problems with my concrete in my garage too. I went with a four post lift . I am able to get the wheels off the ground using the rolling bridge jack that came with the lift . You said in your video that with a four post lift you can’t get the wheel off the ground and do work. But that’s not true . So down the road if you are interested in a 4 post lift they do allow wheel removal and suspension work .

[@SomeGuysGarage]

True enough, bridge jacks do solve some of that...though underside access isn't quite as good with that setup (nor is mine compared to a 2 post). I also didn't have the height for a 4 post, didn't mention it in the video but I only have 9 feet of clear height (10 feet for most of it, but a beam drops down around a foot across the middle).

[@danslininger1315]

Thats crazy that you can squeeze 2 vehicles in 16 feet! I had a 20x20 and it was asses to elbows once i had 2 cars in there. Admittedly one of the vehicles is a 68 cadillac so a boat. But the other one was a 78 buick skyhawk. That thing is smaller than most sub compacts of todays cars. But love the video! Gives me some good ideas!

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Glad you got some ideas from it! It's a tight squeeze to get both in, but better than leaving them outside these days.

[@noahthegildedone5917]

Just subbed. I need more🤤🤣 I literally shared the link with my 'Sinister Six' chat (3 sibs and 3 closest friends), "Spirit animal-level energy right here with this dude's garage. ❤️ I could do ANYTHING!

[@crodles]

i can stretch and touch the roof in my standalone garage, and use it mostly for working on my snowmobile and atv.... its so annoying having such a low roof line. im gonna redo the whole thing next summer, and open it up. cause there is a giant wall in the middle seperating the door and garage door... bottom line is, just apreciate the headroom in ur garage :P im 5'6" also a air hose reel is such a good idea, especially if its long enough to cover the garage

[@SomeGuysGarage]

LoL yeah, I guess it is all relative...compared to a lot of garages this one is massive, but compared to what I wish I had for space, it's far too tiny. Give me a 40x30 with 13 foot ceilings and I'd be happier for a while, until I would want the 100x100 with 18 foot ceilings, until I would want five separate garages for different purposes...and so on :) one can only dream! Yup, I don't use air as much as I used to, but having it on a reel is definitely the way to go!

[@crodles]

@@SomeGuysGarage i feel you. i really do. i belonged to my divorced dad, and its not used for cars or anything but storage so i have alot to throwout... im 23 living at home :P i use it to wrench on my snowmobiles tho, and that need a suprising amount of space

[@grahamholmes9737]

Very nice garage... Curious on the floor temperature? My heater is similar and warms the space but the floor is still very cold

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Thanks! The floor definitely isn't as warm as everything else, but gets up to around 15c when air is heated to 20c...no in floor heat or anything, but it has never iced over or anything with moisture. No insulation below the slab, but it is 6 inches of 4500psi concrete. I pretty much never sit/lie on the floor though and my work boots keep my feet warm :) so no biggy.

[@acu112]

I like it, well organized

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Thank you! :)

[@kajman911]

The stair (steps) into the house could be made as storage. On the lowest step you could mount a flat LED light facing towards the carlift. Nice to have extra light when working on a car. Some kind of wheel system on the pillar drill for easy access to the hardware shelves.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

I do keep a floor jack under the steps that I don't use often (my long reach low profile) so it's not entirely wasted...but I didn't ever think about doing some sort of pull out storage from there. What do you mean wheel system on the pillar drill? Not sure I follow?

[@kajman911]

@@SomeGuysGarage A wide frame or base plate bolted on the pillar drill with 4 low profile wheels that can be lowered when not moving around the drill. The idea is to be able with a easy grip to safely move the pillar drill for easy acess to the corner where your hardware is located. I saw such an arrangement many years ago, but i have no photo of it. I must say you have a real nice garage where you have maximized the space well.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

@@kajman911 ahh okay, I see what you mean. I am finishing my basement right now, but I'm planning that some of that hardware in the corner will go down into storage there...possibly including that entire bin, since it's not the most used thing in the garage.

Looking at your blow molded cases under the main work bench, I'm surprised you didn't organize them by height, width or color

Hahah that would be something I'd do...they're a bit of a hodge podge right now, but at one point I had them organized by use (like threading, sockets/ratchets, car specialty, wood, concrete, etc.).

Great setup, thank you for the overview

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@iFixJunk]

Dealing with a small space myself, so I came here for ideas. Never gave this a thought, but does the "exhaust" fan not have to be ignition-protected? I use three of those cheap-o twin window fans myself (got all of them out of the garbage), but I never thought before about a potential disaster.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

I guess it depends what you're doing in there...for welding fumes or car exhaust (not that you should ever run a vehicle while the door is closed) or just general humidity removal it's fine. If you're making a lot of saw dust or using fuel-gas (like oxy-acetylene or even just pouring gasoline) then you'd probably not want to run an exhaust fan in those situations as they're potentially flammable.

[@kastamD]

Nice clean workshop, I should take notes :)

[@unfilteredjamaican3478]

@@SomeGuysGarage Not really, will watch again n see. Perhaps making a 2 tier shelf high up on the right side if you needed to store smaller stuff high. How do you like the Miller folding welding table, I got two? I’m making a shed to keep my garage clutter free.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

@@unfilteredjamaican3478 yeah, there's still some space up high around the perimeter that I haven't touched....considering a mini-split someday for AC above the tool box. The miller folding welding table is awesome, I have a couple of the clamps for it too, works well and stores up really compact. It's no fab table, but great for welding on. I do have a 6x12 shed out back, wheelbarrow, mower, tires, ladders, etc. stay out there :) definitely helps keep space free in the garage. Thanks though, appreciate the ideas :)

[@RectanerTreadway]

This is super impressive planning/design! About How long did it take you to get to this point in the set-up?

[@SomeGuysGarage]

I did most of the main setup over one summer from empty to painting, benches/cabinets, lift, air system, lights, etc. but then have been refining it and adding on for another 7-8 years making little tweaks and additions.

[@RectanerTreadway]

@@SomeGuysGarageThanks for the response - the content here is inspiring me. Im curious - How did you pick up all these different skills?

[@SomeGuysGarage]

@@RectanerTreadway Pretty much I just prefer DIY for everything, so no matter what it is I'll give it a try and I figure I can learn it. I'm not going to be pro-level day 1 but have to start somewhere. So if I could give any piece of advice it would be: just go for it! I haven't had any formal education on any of this either, I will do a bit of research online to get the jist of it, and then just figure it out as I go. Things won't always go right, but you learn/adapt faster that way. Also, this isn't something that happens over night...15 years ago I couldn't even install an intake on a car - now I can pretty much fix nay part on a vehicle. Just takes time! Hope that helps :)

[@RectanerTreadway]

@@SomeGuysGarage Excellent advice, thank you for your input. I have the same attitude towards these things. I love to try my hand at everything but I am inexperienced in certain areas that are holding me back. It helps to know your perspective and the kinds of resources you use to help you “find your system”. Thanks again, some of the best DIYing I’ve seen 👍

Extremely tight...definitely can't open the door on the first car once the second is in, can barely even get to the door, there's less than a foot between the vehicles.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

@@vintagemagiccollector2245 got it, 16 feet you're literally 6 inches off the first wall, vehicle, less than 1 foot, vehicle, and then about 2 feet left for door/walking. It is extremely tight and not fun to use, good luck storing anything against either wall. I'd definitely go 18 feet if you have the ability, but really 20 feet would be more ideal for parking two vehicles and having them accessible. Also, I'm just storing two compact SUVs, if you have Miata's it wouldn't be so bad, if you have F-150's it wouldn't be possible to fit two at all.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

@@vintagemagiccollector2245 Glad to be of some help! Always an option to go up instead of wider, a 16 wide with a lift and 12+ foot ceilings (do a 1 foot stem wall with the foundation with 12' framed on top, so you end up 13ish finished height, keeping that bottom plate a foot up is nice for us here in Canada) is a great option for tucking away two vehicles AND having room to work around one.

Where's the ladder to reach high stuff? Maybe I missed it.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

I keep my ladders in the shed and basement. Though I used to store my little 5 foot step ladder on the wall with the vinyl hooks (the hooks are stil there), but got annoyed having to pull vehicles out to get to it...so it stays inside now too. The only thing I can't get to without a ladder is the top shelf of bins (which I strategically made things I don't use often), I can reach the first row of bins and anything in the cabinets or above I just climb onto the workbench. So isn't too often I need a ladder.

[@masonroy6831]

I am not sure if it’s been asked but how tall is your garage from floor to ceiling? I am going to start looking at a lift like that

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Basically 9 feet almost dead on to the bottom of the beam that runs across the ceiling, and around 10 feet to the highest portions (doesn't help with lift). I can lift a normal compact SUV (my Macan or NX) to full lift height even with the door open with a good foot and a bit of clearance.

Thank the shitty electrician that wired the house for that. I did all the MC, the rest was the builder's electrician....it passed (somehow, I even talked to the ESA about it but they said it was "to code" at the time) but there's a lot of other stuff I don't like that he did. Watch part 1 of my basement finishing video, I'm sure you can spot a few more terrible electrical things from the builder.

Thank you for not showing your face. Don't get me wrong, I don't like videos that show the face of the content creator very much Some of them film their faces more than 90% of the video time

My face isn't going to help you see what I'm showing you in the garage :) completely agree.
