Shop Equipment

Every garage or shop needs the basics. Tools, lift, compressor, stereo and a fridge. If you plan to do serious work, or have anybody come by to help, a refridgerator with cold beverages is a must.
Garage fridges are never bought new, ever. They are cast offs and freebies. The best part of a fridge, make that second best after the cold beer, is their usefullness in personalization. With no cash value, they can be defaced.
Stickers, spray paint, Sharpies all go into making a better fridge. What is on the metal box reflects the lives, interests and influences of the grease monkeys in the garage. You can even carbon date the fridge by the style of decals on it, the band decals and overspray patina.
Here is the freezer door of our overworked fridge at the clubhouse.

Send me some pics of your shop cooler. The rounder and more art deco, the better.
