    Our shop project - built 1952

    With so many pieces of equipment around, we have a lot of batteries. I found that Battery Tender makes a maintainer that handles 10 at one shot. I liked the first one so much I bough another one and I am finding that I could probably use a third. I picked up the cart from a school district...

    Our shop project - built 1952

    Took some time to swap out the pump on the compressor. The original Westinghouse compressor was complete and although it worked, it took forever to pump up the tank. Very understandable for being form 1947 (date stamped into tag on tank). The Quincy unit I saved from going into a dumpster...

    Our shop project - built 1952

    I am long overdue with some updates. We have a drainage way between the rear of our property and the adjacent PennDOT property. We took care of any issues with major rain from washing out our property with the stone. Also, I took some time to finally get the motor for the overhead door hooked...

    New garage door Broke down and replaced the larger overhead door with a new insulated (R-16) one with an electric opener. Makes a huge difference from the old non-insulated fiberglass one. Also included a shot of the interior of the large bay (it's filling up!) and a shot of the press that I...

    "Garage Sale" of signs, gas & oil company memorabilia

    I am not going to make excuses for Steve's lack of responding. I did speak with him yesterday and I beleive that his has been somewhat overwhelmed with the quantity of interest. Also, please understand that he runs a construction company and has been putting this together after those...

    Aero 1946 Toolbox

    I had a friend of mine translate and he even contacted them for more information. 125 euro for the toolbox. 34 euro to have it shipped to the us. Very cool, but too steep for my blood.

    Our shop project - built 1952

    Personal shop. We have a collection that ranges from trucks to tractors to caterpillars and cranes. Bigger toys require a bigger shop. It was our buddy's shop until he passed away back in April. We had the fortunate opportunity to purchase it from the estate. There was a time when you...
