Shop pics?
#31
I have tons of cool tools but you can't see them under all the junk on my work benches! Someday I'll move out in the boonies and have enough room to get something done. I also like the parts washer next to the toilet, but I would have mounted it a little closer so that you can brush the parts while your busy on the stool. Jag

I did some rearranging and clean-up today...I think I'm going to hold off working much more on the truck, other than parts collecting, until I get the shop somewhat like I want it. I just have had too many hobbies over the years - there are two telescopes, an extensive DJ/Karaoke set up, three or four remote control airplanes (the smallest with a 90" wingspan!!), a complete woodshop, horiz. and vertical bandsaws, Arc welder, Mig welder, Atlas 10" X 42" lathe, two drill presses, 8" jointer, 2 table saw, 2 chop saws, oxy/acet. tanks, parts washer, 50" X 50" sandblast cabinet, 60 gallon air compressor, with 50 gallon reservoir tank, three roll arounds, refrigerator, shelving units, planer....and more!! Basically, a complete Metal working shop, Wood shop, Mechanics shop, with a really bitchin' sound system (4800 watts! 7 Speakers!)...
Just too much crap!!! But, as soon as I get rid of anything, I find I needed it. So, I guess I'll keep organizing...

Is this shop too small? I have a 3 car garage double deep on one side. The truck gets pushed in the back for storage and pushed out to the 2 wide space when I'm working on it. Not ideal but I did manage to finish my last kit car in this shop lol. My wife insists on parking her car in the garage so I always have to put things away overnite.
At least its usually warm enough to work in the garage year round in Texas.

(or two) I got some pics of the lathe and mill, but I didn't get them loaded onto the gallery yet. SOON I hope. I have to depend on my wife or my buddy to put this stuff on here. I get mad at it!! I can do almost anything to a truck, but I'm not real computer literate??
NICE SHOP!

[QUOTE=rcav8or]Clean?? Uncluttered??? Man, what a SICK mind!!!
I guess I neglected to say, No actual work has taken place in this shop yet, been building it over the summer. Its not done yet, just moved the 54 in a few weeks ago. as you can the TV still needs mounted up, and need to install the beverage keeper colded holder.

My shop right after we moved in. Hmm... much cleaner then.
Kevin's shed
I think it's about time for another FTE midwest mini-meet to motivate me to clean up the shop.
