Garage 2

This is the second garage I have built. Feel free to comment or ask questions.


The floor is covered with the same shelf paper as the last garage. I really like the fact that it looks like U-Coat It

The back wall

Side walls



these are a few pieces I have made (you can tell they are hand made by how crooked they are) I am still experimenting with ways to cut the dowels clean and straight
I built the sink out of a barrel and some balsa wood

the faucet is a curved piece of styrene from a roll bar and the hot and cold taps are distributors.
I built pretty much everything out of balsa wood. I think it all turned out pretty good.











this garage isn't as well stocked as the other one but I like the clean look of it.

The Finished Product


I have finished "The Mopar Garage". I do not plan to add anything else to it anytime soon so in my mind it is finished and I have already started on the next garage.






I am pretty damn proud of how it turned out. Feedback and ideas are very welcome. Now, a sample of the new project.





Shelves and what not



After the last post I decided to try my hand at making some shelves and things from balsa wood. Keep in mind everything I built was very simple and was more of a test run to see how it would look. I personally think most of it came out pretty awesome considering I only spent $6.00 on wood and never built anything before.

not super proud of this shelf but it was simple and quick
My work bench, I am a bit more proud of this one than the other shelf.
