Eggman918,

Those toolboxes llok like old school Army types...cool.

The tool boxes are Kennedy machinist chests, purchased them in 1980 working in NASA shop.Kennedy was a supplier to Uncle Sam
The lathe and mill are from 1941/42 they were in a duce and a half shop truck in WW 2,forward repair unit .They are worth their weight in gold to me

The symbol at the end of the number there looks like the Air Force Ammo piss pot symbol. Pretty cool stuff. I wonder how long your equipment was in the inventory before it got stamped.

My space is limited and I don't have many tools. I'm collecting them here and there.

Nice. And very organized.
But where's the beer fridge?

[FoPAR]

Don’t you worry, it’s there. It’s the black box looking thing with speakers on top of it between the sandblasting cabinet and the red drawer cabinet. I made sure there was room for that! This is the only photo I have that shows it....

Ah. Gotcha. Clever hiding

Here are some pictures of our (Dad and I) shop. Has been a cow barn in the past and it´s 115 years old

Good day Florian,

Wow a 115 year old cow barn!!! Thanks for your marvelous photos, and gosh your truck sure looks good in that last one! What a striking color it is.

Well here are some pics of the new place. Just need to buy my folding canvas to protect the east side when rains. And maybe some painting and definitely more shelves and boxes to store the thousands of bolt and nuts.... And before Oren09 ask, the beer fridge is inside along with the electronics table

[Oren09]

Here is my new garage. It's a bit bigger than the old one. And the floor is level and not full of cracks.
But there's no beer fridge. There will be when there are more tools to go with it.


I know the work bench is messy but it's all I have for now. And some of that is stuff the previous tenant left. I'm still cleaning up after them.

This garage has a woodstove but with it there, there isn't enough space to park my truck inside and close the door.
