Shop pics?
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone would share some shop pics? A well organized shop is essential for truck building. I'll try, but I'm not good at posting pics yet. I don't know how to post in a thread at all? Anybody out there want to show off their shop or some cool equiptment for truck building?

I gots lots of cool equipment, but probably in the most unorganized fashion you'd ever want to see.
I am the Anti-Organizer.
The plus side is, if anyone were to try and rip me off, most likely they'd trip, fall and impale themself on something.

Currently I work on my truck in one of two places.
The first is an unheated pole building on the farm. Although it's a 50'X60' foot build I have have the space of two car garage. The rest is used by my in-laws for their farm machinery. There's a lot of dirt but it's next ot my house and convenient. I have some tools and parts stored in there.
The second place is my business shop, it's 1400 sq. ft. I don't have a lot of room to work on my trucks there, after all I have to have room to work on projects that make me money. I have my truck stuff jammed into one corner. The great thing about this is it's heated and I have most of my tools, including a forklift and welder there. Also,
my shop is only 3 miles from my house. Currently I am renting but am in the process of buying a 2500 sq ft building down the street. My wife already knows there's going to be a truck corner.

Terry, what about shops that aren't finished and don't have any tools in them or electric or water, but there are 3 mavericks in there and alot of parts.

Mine is such a mess all you'd see is the '48 jammed in the back corner staying nice and dry and the '51 sitting next to the Gal waiting for me to finish the wiring and bleed the brakes. Other than that it is a Where's Waldo to find all my tools, if I ever clean it up I will never find any of them.

I'm pretty picky about having an organized garage shop. I spend a lot of time in here and want everything in place where I can find it. This is my 4 car garage and shop. It also has ventilation in the roof so I can paint a car in there and pretty much everything I need. I'm hoping Santa brings me a hydraulic lift for the rear portion of the garage. Here's a couple pics.

Here's a pic of my shop. There are more in my Tech Album.There is also a picture of a chopsaw table I made. I tried to post it in the thread of cool tips and tricks (without success) Maybe one of you guys can post it. I give up!! I try to keep my shop pretty clean and neat. You can see more in my gallery. I have a lift with a roller trolley above it for pulling bodys off the frame. Nothing like a well organized shop with all the tools!!
