Ep 13. Aviation Cave

In season 5 episode 13 of Man Caves, entitled Aviation Cave, the hosts Tony and Jason transform a regular garage into a dream man cave for a man called Bill, who is an aviation enthusiast. The transformation is all about creating the vibe of a vintage aviation hotel, which is Bill's lifelong dream.

Together with his private pilot’s license, Bill has also collected several vintage airplane parts over the years. Therefore, the Man Caves team decides to incorporate these parts into the design of the man cave to showcase his collection, as well as fulfill his aviation dream.

The show starts with Tony and Jason meeting Bill, who expresses his excitement concerning the project, and discussing his aviation hobby. They take the time to take a tour of the garage, which currently is cluttered with junk, and not used for anything specific. During the tour, Bill shares his desires for a space that impresses his guests and offers the ideal setting for socializing during his aviation get-togethers.

The team gets to work and commences the transformation. One of the first things they do is to clear out the garage and create an open space that is well-suited for entertaining. They install a vintage plywood bar, which forms the centerpiece of the man cave, and build several wooden cabinets to hold Bill’s vintage aviation items, such as old airplane propellers, a crankshaft, and sparks plugs.

The team also works on the lighting and adds LED lights beneath the vintage bar and uses several small airplanes reconditioned to delicate looking chandeliers that add to the aviation-inspired theme.

To complete the aviation-themed man cave, Tony and Jason thoughtfully incorporate elements from classic aviation settings, such as riveted aluminum walls, classic bomber seats, a leather couch with a vintage look, and a custom-made art piece, made up of airplane parts. They even add a unique aviation feature, where a wing from an old plane is being hung from the ceiling, serving as an exquisite piece of decoration.

After the renovation, the hosts invite Bill to see the finished project. Bill takes a walk-through of the man cave, and he is thrilled with the results. He is particularly impressed by the spacious bar with the aviation-themed stools and the overall feel of the place. The vintage and aviation theme appeals to him, and he is glad to have a place where he can share his passion with friends and family.

The episode concludes with Bill hosting his guests at the newly renovated man cave and enjoying their reaction to his creation. His aviation-themed dream man cave is functioning as an excellent venue for get-togethers and parties and the perfect place to showcase his aviation collection.

Overall, the Aviation Cave episode of Man Caves showcases the creativity and attention to detail that the hosts put into the transformation of a regular garage into a chic man cave, solely catering to Bill's aviation hobby. It's an excellent show for aviation enthusiasts and fans of vintage design.
