Default I made a video about my 911's garage

Well, I've now taught myself how to make a video. It ended up taking a lot more time than I expected and I'm still not sure why I felt the need to make it in the first place. But maybe it will trigger some thoughts about the intangible qualities of places where you've worked on cars. Or maybe you'll simply get a chuckle of watching me try to act natural on camera.

very nice video; awesome garage! thanks for sharing.
I love that you made all the benches/shelving yourself with a budget of $3500.

Pretty impressive result for an amateur. What camera was used and how did you keep it so steady, tripod?
Every portion of the space including the cabinets and toolboards have a carefully thought out purpose.

My garage is more organized than most but not that organized and doesn't have ergonomics anywhere near as good as yours.

Excellent video, your editing, your narration, etc. Great job on your garage and you've certainly inspired me to move forward with my garage project as well.

Now that was just darn well done. The vid AND the garage. Got me thinking about my gross excess of space and how under utilized it is. Makes me want smaller and tidier.

There's a potential book and 'how to' on the sheer design work you did, space saving gizmos and clever solutions. Nice job. You're not an amateur any more!

Off-the-charts cool.

I had seen some of this on a Petrolicious video, I think.

I consider my own garage reasonably tidy, say 6.5 on a ten-scale. This is... eleven!

Well done.

Amazing. Outstanding. Stunning.
$3500? Are you kidding me?
