This one fantastic project! Kinda reminds me of a place a buddy of mine grew up in back in Virginia. Downstairs was an actual barn, with the upstairs a three bedroom home. I always thought that would be a killer place for a hot rod shop, but you've taken it to a whole new level. Subscribed and looking forward to the layout.
WOW!,,Chaz ,how I managed to miss this is beyond me,,the work is like everything you have ever posted,,fan-friggin'-tastic!. I've heard you say in the past you are better with wood than metal,,but man you make them both look good. HRP
Believe me, we use the Hell out of that bench against the wall. Nothing like a big solid piece of steel to hammer or weld on.
Great work space guys! I would have to work out of it or be retired because I'm not sure I would leave... ever. If tb is anything like me, my "work bench" is covered in crap and might as well be a shelf.
DAMN IT MAN , Now I want a new garage, connected to the house, With a McDonald's fun-house silo on the side without the slide inside... Damn I'm Loving it....... Good ------NO SCRATCH THAT----- GREAT JOB to all that are involved . You all should be very proud!
More work on storage today. Its real important for us to have a great selection of parts and hardware. Nothing is more frustrating than needing something and having to stop everything and go to the hardware store for a bolt in the middle of a snowstorm. In Montana its often an hour or more to go get to the hardware store. Here's a couple cheap storage setups we use. The first is a set of metal drawers. I got these for free when they were tearing down an old bank in town. They were file drawers that were attached to a two story rotating mechanism. I grabbed a half dozen and welded the frames together into sort of a cabinet. This has been great for storing medium size stuff. I purchased a bunch of small plastic bins on ebay for about 57 cents each. The manufacturer was changing their pattern and was selling off the last of their stock. I bought a hundred. They sat around for about a year, but I finally made a pair of particleboard cabinets to hold the bins. Now all the nuts, bolts, and washers are easily accessed. The point of all this is that it really pays off to just STOP what you're working on and get organized! It doesnt have to cost a lot. I'm not a very organized person by nature so I really have to force myself to take the time. I've learned though that it really pays off. Next week the fun stuff begins... We've collected lots of stuff to hang on the walls over the years and we're gonna show them off in the new place!
Chaz, lookin real good. I don't think I've ever seen a stone silo. Very nice touch. What will the silo be used for? Verbal Kint, I like the idea. That thing is beautiful!
