Build your own 60's replica petrol station...

[DaveCool]

Hi.

I'm sure this forum has been pointed out before but every now and then I have a look and am amazed about what wonderful things people get up to. (and jealous of course...)
This is a forum about peoples' garages/workshops and this guy has built a very nice replica 60's petrol station for himself.

(there's quite a few other nice builds on the forum too, usually the threads with many pages, which show the full process of building their garages and fitting it out).

Mine looks exactly like a 1970s garage. Principally a 1970s garage stockroom which has been neglected and has the owner's fridge, kids' bikes, recycling bins and the roof box of a Volvo wagon. You can't even get a cat in it to test for swinging room.

Sorry about this (that is wasting your next hour if you follow the link) but I just found another one and it is impressive to say the least.

This guy has a lot of nice toys (metalworking and even a tig) so it is relevant here too . Some people (and I'm not biased but they always seem to be from 'over the pond') seem to have everything

Gets really interesting on page 2:
