Great post. Thanks!

 

that's one of the best things i've sen in awhile!. no places around here like that at all.......unless i go to knotts berry farm.

 

wow... thanks!!

 

nothing as cool as that.

 

Ah the good ole days! Thats cool!

 

there is an old guy like that around here. I've never been inside his shop, but from what everyone says, thats how i would have pictured it. The entire place is run by a windmill usually.

That is the most beautiful shop I have ever seen (we're not worthy) in my life.Thanx for sharing those.awesome. swaZZie

 

thanks for the pics.

that shop is incredible. id love to see all those belts running.

 

Lock me in that shop and throw a big Mac through the window a couple times a week. I'll just curl up on the floor when I get tired. That place is to die for.

The town I grew up in had a garage/machine shop that had been around since the '20s. They started out working on the old cars when they were new, then just kept working on them. Made parts, poured babbit, even had a paint shop.Had a machine shop all belt driven off of a big 1 cylinder hit and miss engine, the thing had about a 10 inch bore and two cast iron flywheels about six feet in diameter. Belts and pulleys everywhere. I still miss the sound of that shop when it was running. Looks like some of the same machines in those pictures.

 

Cool post.

 

if my shop was that clean just one time in my life, I could die a happy man.
