just read your thread I am going to use some of your ideas thank you

I have pasted that station I'll bet 10 times and every time dreamt of that shop in my back yard. There is another near Moab UT

I built my shop 40 years ago the BIGEST mistake I have made ever was not insulating right away now there is shelving, cabinets, tool boxes and workbenches all nailed to the walls. I have a lot of things hanging in the rafters, steel racks, wheel racks and lights. Think about IT

Yea I'm still hear to ***** like gunny said as long as your bitchin your breathing. Hell I'm a good time most of the time making stuff.

I'd like to thank all of you for your feed back. I will try to post photos of the box. I'm not very good at this thing. What I'm trying to do is make room in my shop. I won a homack Arm Drop NAPA top & bottom box signed by Rich a few years back. I like the cool factor of the top box. I know...

That floor is cool your legs don't tire as fast. If a part hits the floor it not damaged. Most of the time will help keep shop cooler. Look that floor does not have a bunch of steel in it it's dirt I'd bet the chips get picked up daily. Did you see that they have all there fingers with out OSHA...

I for one will buy one for my self bad knees have taken a lot of the fun out of working in the shop. Ithink this will make the investment I all ready made in my tools welders toolboxs more useable. I'd be instred in investing just to help us old geasers have some more fun.

the texaco I worked in in billings mt had all most no insulation the ng gas heater started in Oct and didnt stop till June 1967 /1969. I have put .50 cents worth of gas and washed the windsheld & checked the oil & smiled thank you a lot of times. The steel had a locking standing seam about 4"...
