Beautiful home shop built in a small garage - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

sperry · 2010-04-02, 10:25 AM

...as found on NASIOC, this guy has converted his small 2-car garage into a gorgeous shop for woodworking and maintenance of his sweet 911 track car.

Makes me want to tear everything out of my garage and get to work prettying up the place.

Nice!

Makes me want a 911

Oh and a garage would be cool too!

Kevin M · 2010-04-02, 11:07 AM

That deserves a wow.

That car! God I love these things. I need to redo my garage badly. I've been on the mouse hunt the last month. I think I got them all now.

Libila · 2010-04-12, 12:28 PM

I already need to re-clean and sort my garage. Now I really want to do it.

ScottyS · 2010-04-12, 12:32 PM

Yes, but how do you fit in advanced car mechanics + woodworking + general home maint + bicycle maint + electronics + theotherthingsIdo ?

I'm still trying to figure this out. You really need a 3-car garage + one 12x10 room to do this right, even if you are organized.

makes me want a garage......period!

This cabinet color reminds me of my childhood home's kitchen from 1970. And... wait... is that a phone with a cord? A rotary dial even?

Nope, not a rotary dial, but it simulates one:

Oh, oh, no he dihn't! He changed it out to a true rotary! And it still works on current phone lines. I'm getting one.

Reminds me - I've got a black rotary desk phone in a box - I'm gonna hook it up.

MikeK · 2010-04-15, 03:07 PM

If you can get a red one write "Kremlin" above it.

ScottyS · 2010-05-09, 05:48 PM

Done. Not quite as cool as the phone in the OP, but it works great nonetheless! The wiring was really straightforward.

You are right Mike, a "Kremlin" phone would be tops.

Double Phister · 2010-05-12, 01:50 PM

Would a pulse type phone like that even work on a phone tree these days?

They sure do, amazingly enough.

Then again, who has a land line to plug it into these days... I sure don't.

Mine in the photo there rings great, and dials out just fine.

I was talking about the "press 1 to subscribe to more advertising, press 2 to add reoccuring charges to your credit card..."

I know it will ring and dial out. Now where's my blue box at?

Oh, that's what you meant by "phone tree", I was assuming you were just talking about the wiring to the house.

I bet those menus don't work... I'm pretty sure they're touch-tone only, hence all the older adverts that say stuff like "check your account from your touch-tone phone!" Supposedly if you wait on the line though it should route to an operator... if the place isn't super cheap.

But really, who's going to own an old rotary dial phone as their only phone these days... they're cool nostalgia items, not communications appliances. Needing a rotary phone that works on a menu tree is like needing a '64 Vette that gets 50 mpg.

Does it come with a rotary dial app?

Nick Koan · 2010-05-13, 09:59 AM

It doesn't come with one, but you can get there are rotary dial apps in the app store.
