Hello All,

I am new to the forum and want to show you where I do my stuff. We have a three car garage and I get the single bay for my shop. There is not a lot of room, only 12'X20' but I have a lot of fun. Since I don't have a lot of space I have to have multi-use work spaces. When I am reloading, my press shares a bench with my router and then it is stored when I am done. I put curtains on my benches to prevent sawdust from collecting on my equipment.

quite interesting what you do and get accomplished w/ what you have Kenny...

KUDOS...

 

 

but I have a question...

is there a staunch bylaw stashed away here someplace that shops must be spit shined before a picture(s) is/are taken and posted...

Kenny, thanks for showing off what a one care garage slot can do. We have the same set up, a three car garage, (but is it really? I still don't see how a car is supposed to fit in the single car bay) and my digs are occupying a wall in the two car bay, and a portion of the wall at the head of the two car bay.

After seeing your set up, I am now thinking, hmmm, I can still have a dedicated area, maybe, right now our single car bay is loaded with boxes and storage cabinets, but I can change that!

 

Thanks for showing your space! I completely enjoyed the tour. Who made that yellow buffing wheel?

Welcome to the forum Kenny.  You have a nicely arranged shop.

I think there is rule that covers this  

 

Super shop Kenny! Great lighting over the benches and the garage door storage! I think I need to "borrow" the curtains idea.

Only 12'X20'?  Only 12'X20'? 

 

…………………………..……………………..I can only Dream! 

First and most important Kenny, a formal welcome to TPW. Glad you found us. Having seen what has already come out (or into) your shop, I can't wait to what you're up to on a regular basis.

Great looking shop and layout even if is "surgically clean." 

 

A couple of questions for you...what year is that restored Evinrude? '54, '55? Awesome looking and assume it purrs like a kitten based on it's looks?

Is that a gang symbol tossed across your door opener track or just drying some clothes? 

 

Thanks for being here and sharing your diverse interests. Truly enjoying your posts.

The motor is a 1947 Evinrude Sportsman 2hp and is what they call a "Barn find". I stripped the motor down, Inspected, repaired and restored. The motor runs like new. The picture below is a before picture.The red rag was unintentionally left up there when I was working on the opener.

That is so cool. I really like your embellishment of polishing all the various parts vs repainting. Really makes a show-stopper out of it. I bet you get a lot of looks and inquires on that? Excellent restore.

Was just messing with you on the rag.

I sure hope not!

Dangnabit!!!   

Nice shop paws.That 2HP Evinrude is cute but I doubt it would buck the tides here on the Merrimack river. Welcome to the forums.
