Lemme see, garage envy, library with a john, kitchen in the BIG shop, no more welding on the gr***, what a great shop! One of these days I'll add some lift doors, but never have that awesome space! My shop in the background, open on three sides! Great catch!
WWBBD....hahaha. Oh man is that a choice place.... It has all the makings of a killa North east hot rod hang out.... congrats...
WOW Mark that place is sweet! I can't believe somebody gave that up! It's very hard to find a decent garage around here, most of the realtors think 24' x 24' is an "oversized" garage. My wife and I looked for three years before giving up and building a garage where we are. Congratulations on your awesome place. You're very lucky, must be all that good kharma. Can't wait to see it in person. Maybe by then you'll have some giant murals on the walls!!
i can only dream to have a set up like this i am working in the back of a shop right now but that looks perfect to me.
Great place. Be careful though. I was in the same situation 6 months ago. Bought a foreclosure with a 13 car garage 3200 sq. ft. shop. I was amazed at how quickly it got filled up with car parts and projects. Your going to have a BLAST!!!
VERY NICE!!! I expect to see photos from the stairway looking down at the big shop at least once a month. What a great vantage point to shoot whatever is sitting there. Love the set-up
Wow! tthat is incredible... I have to ask , with winter coming on..... what soes the shop have for heat?
That place is gararge of my dreams, you are a very lucky man and as said before you are living the dream Retro
I hate you..... Actually I am very envious. Six years ago my wife talked me into living in this fancy neighborhood where you cant get away with ****. I would kill to have a nice work garage.
I know why those big doors were installed.......................makes it easier to carry "Good stuff" into the house and into the kitchen so you can do "Important work" at the kitchen table. Nice score.
Mark, the rolling drum poster printer is rad man. I have one too! Picked it up at the local jockey lot for $10 bucks. I've been trying to find someone to make type setting plates for it so I could make some cool prints. The shop is awesome too. You got any plans for a lift, or ya gonna do it all on the floor? Go ahead and get on the ball and fill that thing up so we can slobber on our keyboards. Mott
Since you are remoldeling the house, I would go ahead abd put garage doors in it also. ****, who needs a house when you have a garge like that.
jeff, you're gonna hate me. it's radiant heat in the floor. oil fired tankless hot water. and it's forced hot water baseboard on the 2nd floor.
Looks to be enough room for Big Olds inside when I come to visit......problem is you might have a tough time getting me to leave! Congrats bud! Your ladies aren't truthful
The last pic is a table with a rolling drum on it. Many moons ago, this is how they one-offed posters. The paper lays flat as you roll the drum accross the paper to create the image. It is similar to the Heidleburg process. The very first drums had steel letters inserted and tightened in and could even perforate or cut the poster. Some of the last ones used rubber stamps that attached around the cylinder. I know, way to much info.....but I love and have alot of respect for old, and inovative machinery.
oh, i see. yeah. that is how i make most of my work. like this one: and lots of others you can look at in my photo folders. i love that old galley press. i can set type in there too. set it up in a chase and lock it into the galley, ink it up, and presto. now, i hand carve most of my text, like in the poster above. but i have some metal type too that i can use.
