Lets see your shop!

Seems pretty apparent, you scared them all off, Weld.

PROBABLY!



Isn't it interesting though Todd? You've been on here a long time too... and I was looking back and recognizing a lot of names -- and they just seem to fade away -- while some of us have made lasting friendships. I guess maybe some of them just don't make the connections. Sad.

Life gets in the way and interests change.

I absolutely agree that the best thing that came out of my build is the friends I made.

Here are a few of my shop from a couple of months ago (it was pretty much finished at that point). It was still a little cluttered, but I'm working on getting everything organized. I even have a label maker to put to good use.





First project I pulled into the shop (I'll start a build thread at some point).



I continue to add tools as money allows (I have a tool problem). I just like to be able to do things myself.

Holy crap Brandon! Whew knew!


Hey... Don't use that "I have a tool problem" when you're at the bar or at a party... It's meaning is only understood around car guys. LOL



It's funny because people always ask about what a "car" or a part costs.... but they never look around at the infrastructure it takes to build them, and ask what that costs!

Very nice, that's a serious looking shop Brandon.

I like what you did to the ceiling too. A real clean look.

Thanks Greg - I'm really happy with how it's come together - - - It won't fit a Toter-Home or anything, but it's my little paradise. For some reason I always feel better after buying a tool that I'll use over and over again, than after buying a part. Good point on the "phrasing". I'm already misunderstood by my non-car guy friends, so I don't need to add any fuel to that fire.

It's all about the friends, the car build is just an excuse.

Agreed!

Here's my shop. I started on it last March and for the most part, it's done. I guess a taking a year to go from grass to what you see isn't too bad.
