RMS Epic Workshop/ Garage Thread: Show me your bench/garage

[David19]

Where's a good place to purchase them from and are they easy enough to connect up and attach?

 

[swansty]

Any electrical supply place such as CEW, CEF or screwfix. Easy to install if you know about wiring

 

[David19]

Thanks for the info.
What wattage would you suggest for say 3 off lights in a single car garage.

Wouldn’t be sure to be honest. Take a look at screwfix and see what is available in 5’ battens and take a guess. Google may advise somewhere too

Paint your walls white and it will be so much brighter.

Cheers gents will get 3 ordered

I run the LAP LED battens from Screwfix in my garage. Very bright. There is a huge range of lumen ratings on them just go for as many as you can.

Go into your local CEF tell them your size of space and they can recommend how many would suit your needs.

Would a 6x4m garage be suitable to work around 1 car? Work as in cleaning/polishing and the odd bit of servicing. Limited in space and not sure if it's even worth the hassle.

 

[m00k]

6x4 should be spot on

Mines about 19x11 feet if you manage ur floor space right and keep the clutter off its grand

Am I missing something? What’s the point in the floor lifting up a bit?

 

[Dan.86]

Wondered that myself. Because he can maybe

 

[Creaney]

id guess its for storage underneath.

Doesn’t look easy to get into

 

[mcmurray]

Storage underneath for another car.

 

[Daviddunlop83]

Storage underneath for another car.

It isn’t high enough and the rams are there

 

[mcmurray]

It isn’t high enough and the rams are there

Would go high enough without the car sitting on top of the base/floor surely?

And the rams look like they're at the sides to me in that photo.

If I was going to that hassle then I'd have my super villain layer built/dug out underneath with enough room for 15 cars and a stripper pole

 

[bora-gav]

Trying out an idea for flooring for my garage, bought 1 roll for now to see what it was like and the quality.

Totally not on for painting the floor, I dont think the tiles work well for manourving cars on so thought I'd give this a try plus it's easily cleaned.

1.6mx4m 4mm thick, just need another 9 rolls to fill my space lol

 

[bora-gav]

Regards the post above:

The smell of rubber....... Does it die down after a while?? quite a powerfull smell of this 1 roll and I think I need 10 rolls in total

 

[Cossers]

Possibly, I’ve been in some places that has rubber matting down and it’s been there for a long time, tbh it depends on the weather too, I’ve found that it can get quite strong in warm weather!
