Staying busy, but not on the garage. Local guy dropped off a couple of blown subwoofers for me to re-cone. His re-cones have different tinsel leads so I'll have to get new terminals and drill the baskets for them, but no big deal. You can see the mess of a shop behind me...

My main workbench is my outfeed table in the wood shop. Built the mobile cabinet with maple drawer fronts back in 2012. We lived in Hawaii at the time. With the new shop I wanted it all painted white. Here are some random pics that show the full table at different stages. More pics/info in my...

I'm doing galvanized metal on the lower half of part of my shop with some faux brick up top. Plasma table is going there and I plan on shooting video in that area so something that's a little different from the clean walls in the rest of the shop would likely be good for what I'm doing.

I planned on doing this tomorrow but these arrived yesterday and I've been wanting to get them in. Low-voltage mounting brackets and some aluminum plates with 1 1/2" grommets. Installed these on both sides of the wall so I can plumb some 3/4" air line throughout the shop. Bought the stuff off...

Actually 98TJ was my old account. Those pics were linked from my Facebook account. Then Facebook killed remote linking.

Been working on cars. The only progress I made on the shop today was getting a couple more brick panels up. These two took care of the end wall on the outside of the wood shop.

Yeah, I was pretty blown away when I found it. It was basically a bachelor pad. Here's how the 2-car normally sits when I don't have vehicles I'm working on for others in it. There's a variety of different toolboxes and carts that I've accumulated over the years. The red US General unit with...

Here’s a fun one. Traded a couple of subs I wasn’t going to use for the best shop/beer fridge ever.

Thanks, man. I'm trying to get this thread caught up. Between 2019 and now there's been a good bit that's happened, but it's mostly to vehicles and not to the shop. The shop progress pretty much stalled. About a month ago I had a guy contact me about building a car for him. He had seen the...

Yeah, I figured I should probably post on here. Most people LOVE the woodshop. I guess mostly because of the simplicity and use of space. Right? I was fortunate to find this kind of space but I'm not a fan of all the builder beige. Color changes will be coming. I'm thinking white walls and...

That shop stool is an old college art project. We had to create a "3D sculpture" and I wanted to create something functional instead of creating something for the class. It's built from bike parts that were going to be trashed at the local bike shop. The top/bottom are 20" wheels, the legs are...

And the contraption in place. And that is pretty much where shop progress has become stagnant. I've been busy building cars and enclosures for people and everything regarding the shop has been secondary. I had one guy that wanted a build and knew I was talking about getting a laser for the...

Thanks, Ron. Not looking to make anyone jealous, just sharing what should be my final garage/shop space. While it's nice to be able to say that we're not moving anymore, it's kind of dark to put it into terms where this is your final/last shop. :oops: Here are a couple of overall shop...

Back to the outfeed table. Seems I skipped over this. I placed the switch for the router lift at the corner between the Paulk style storage units. I got to work making a radiused filler panel that slides into the corner. I made this so it can be easily removed (simply slide it out) if I need to...

So that was the way things stayed for a while. Work was making sure that I was staying busy. Busy enough to buy a Shapeoko XXL. It's a CNC router with a 31" x 31" cut area. (This thing has paid for itself a few times over now.) It was delivered and I was excited to get it built. Built the...
