DIY: Pics of your shop/tools.

Ok, so looking at the SFBD thread and saw some really nice motivation pics. Love the fact that they are built at home. I think another motivational thread for other's like myself would be to see where those build their shit. I've a one car garage that I'm technically not supposed to do automotive work in (Government/Military Housing) However, I'm trying to build my budget to get the tools I'll need to build my truck. Hopefully Santa will at least bring me a chop saw. Would love to see some of your shop setups, tools you can't live without, etc.

Oh, and if anyone has pics of their tube benders, that would be greatly appreciated. Really would love to be able to bend my own tubing and not spend a fortune on a bender!!!

Here's my little garage.

Should have more than enough room, already moved the bed into my back storage shed. Hopefully my buddy and I pick up his welder and air compressor soon. Gotta clear some room. Not pictured but now I have a 10' Waverunner damn near standing on end just to rear of the right rear of the truck. But should still have enough space!!!

seth has a pretty good self made bender from what i can tell. i believe a lot of folks used the same plans he used and liked the outcome.

This is my favorite tool.Oldschool works the best.

Though its not quite finished, here are some pics of my brothers garage at his new house that we're building, it will be just me and him living there. Designed for a lift too. 16x30 bonus room upstairs for beer and entertainment and a full bath downstairs. Hopefully theres enough room...

Good Lord. That's nice! Back in HS Drafting class, my project was a 4 car garage/house. But if I had something like that, I'd be divorced!!!!

From the pictures it looks like your shop is 1000ft below in a cave . You have a full shop picture ceilings look high as hell
