Shop show thread
« on: May 06, 2014, 09:32:05 PM »
With Bird showing her shop an bonneyman showing his shop I figured this could be interesting. Perhaps everyone could show pictures of there workspace or dedicated shop. So feel free to post those pictures :)

I must first admit I am a little jealous here as I don't have much of a shop now. I moved into a apartment , so lots changed. I have always had a service cart at work, and still do. Now I have all my portable power tools and hand tools sitting in the corner. I just grab what I need for the side jobs I am doing. I ended up selling some stuff as well. My radial arm saw, 2 tablesaws, jointer, and band saw are pretty much at my parents house in the corner of the garage. The shed is a mess that will be conquered soon. Then of course I have the passenger side of my truck full of misc stuff an my chainsaw. Truck only seats a driver these days lol.

(hopefully papaw is ok with this thread)
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

I recently lost the use of a barn that I have stored my stuff at for that last 10-12 years. I've been slowly bringing things home to my 1 1/2 car garage. It's getting stacked floor to ceiling with a path to my tool box. Soo... no more work place. I have to work outdoors now. I sneaked my 50 HP tractor and 6 implements behind a friends barn when he went on vacation. Wait till he see's that.

I must confess, "I am a HORDER!" my addiction to accumulating old tools (and other junk) has gotten me almost buried alive...  My garage & basement are full of stuff.. I can still work there, but storage space has become limited. (I need to get rid of stuff to collect new stuff).. nothing to be proud of...  I think a "Before & After" photo may take awhile.. but I started cleaning, organizing, for the "AFTER" photo ..

I will be ashamed to do so, but will try to get some pictures of mine this weekend.
