Lunker777 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 Hey everyone Cruising some videos on you tube today and I came across some Mike Iconelli videos he shot out of his shop.... or should I say garage turned into a tackle shop !!! hahah That combined with a video Dave Mercer did a while ago where you could kind of see the set up he had in his shop ... the walls were covered in gear !!! Its made me curious to see what other people have as set ups to there current shop/ man cave.... At the moment mine is non-exsistant ! hahaha I dont own my own house as of yet so ! Anyways.... hopefully we see some cool set ups !
Rodwrap Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 I'll show you mine if you show me yours.. I was 'blessed' to be able to buy the camp nextdoor about 4 years ago, so , I turned it into my custom rodbuilding shop. Then I added my "cooking/ smoking" gear to it. ( I cater banquets, too). rodbuilding first:: threadwork on custom rods:: this guy owns a restaurant called "The Train Station"... bass rod for a young guy.. colorful handles on rods.. this rod maches the truck... now , the mancave part..I don't NEED to go to the wife's house for anything, except to take a dump I have all the 'necessities' for life...wood stove, TV, fridge, freezer, microwave/coffee pot. with stainless prep table on the proch's "outdoor kitchen".. And, the cookers...a horizontal smoker, & 2 drum smokers... with lots of wood... a few 'samples'... chickens, turkey breast, & acorn squash.. some ribs.. a brisket... lake erie steelhead... & I have my 3 best friends .. And, my Son & friend on Chemong... And, I sometimes have to share with other "visitors"''' Life is Good
blaque Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 Impressive Rodwrap...........its almost like youve been waiting for this thread to come up lol
torco Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 That is impressive, since having a baby I feel like my space is getting smaller and smaller. Originally it was the rec room in the basement and now every day my wife is harping on me to get rid of my table top hockey game which so far I have refused to make a point. I am trying to turn the garage into my space but everything seems to pile up in there. I may need to build another shed next year and turn into my own mancave. I figure run some electricity, put at TV and couple comfy chairs, beer fridge. Plus keep all my fishing stuff in there and I will be set. But something tells me I'm dreaming.
Terry Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) here is as close to a man cave as I could get <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view¤t=5dollarDogHouse.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/5dollarDogHouse.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> well the dog wasn't using it LOL Edited October 8, 2010 by Terry

Rodwrap Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 this just came out of the ol' horizontal smoker...Steelhead (left), & white perch ( you might call it white bass)....
Rod Caster Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 I'd say "thanks" if you were "giving" that to me.
thatleetboy Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 My mancave is just a small room in the back corner of the basement.... yet funnily enough, it's THE spot to hang out when I invite a few friends over! Yup, more than a couple of taps... I take a lot of pride in my brewing efforts, and do I like to share quality homebrew with my buddies. Cheers
Dara Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 Mine is a woodworking shop the pictures are a month old and lots has changed. I just built the house and shop this summer.
irishfield Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 .. and some wonderful things come out of Dara's workshop. Leah was estatic with her 28th anniversary present my friend. Certainly saved me for another year!!
lew Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) When we began our search for a new home in the country last winter we had a wish list of what we wanted and it included a big house, lotsa rooms and plenty of property, but something at the top of MY personal list was a large garage for a shop and room for my boat and also the truck and fortunately we got everything on the list. The garage is over 1000 sq. ft. at 21' X 52' and is fully insulated and has a propane furnace and then upstairs at the rear is a fully finished 400 sq. ft. loft. All the room any guy could ask for inside. A great shop for putzing around or building things and there's even a sign on the back wall that my daughter got me for Fathers Day that says "Dad's Man Cave" Infact, I just finished building a nice walk in closet for one of the rooms and it was great having all the space in the shop to fabricate everything.. My boat is 19' long and it's great to just back all the way in and still have plenty of space in front to park my truck with still over 1/2 the garage not being used. My wife asks me why we bothered buying such a gorgeous home when I spend all my time in the garage Gonna be a fantastic place to hang out thru the winter months !! Edited October 9, 2010 by lew
Muskieman Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) I have a two bedroom apartment in my basement that I no longer rent out,,I turned it into my "Man Cave" If I have any small projects I'll use the counter or the shed. -------------------------------------------------------------- man cave on wheels.
