Wow this is going to be fun. And I thought I had it bad in northeast Florida!

Glad I saw this thread, I lucked into a lightly used LMS Sieg mill a couple months ago on craigslist for cheap and need to buy some tooling. Any suggestions on what tooling I would need to cut dovetails on barrels and relocate sights?

I posted this on the hobby machinist forum but wanted to show off my newest addition, an old South Bend 9A. This is my second lathe, the first was an old 6" Atlas that I refurbished then sold a few years ago. Recently I found the need for another machine for a special project and decided a 9"...

Years ago I painted my garage windows black, it kept unwanted eyes out but blocked the light. The limo and mirror tints work fine during the day but you can still see in at night. I recently added frosted white film to my garage windows which works great, keeps unwanted eyes out when I'm...

This is a cool thread and I'm glad to see my shop isn't the only one that is messy. I have two small benches built from 2x4s and scrap plywood. This one is used for reloading and looks pretty messy here. I got tired of all the clutter so bought some metal stands for my reloading presses...

Very nice, what are you planning to use it for?

Wow that is awesome. Can't wait to see what the finished build looks like. What toys are you going to use the garage for?

Wow that's impressive!

Wow you guys are so creative, now I'm going to have to be on the lookout for old refridgerators. I gotta stop hanging out here haha.

Wow nice modification of the Steevo bench, I like it! Now I'm really tempted to buy a couple of those cabinets for future use. I couldn't tell from the photo but what model Miller welder are you using? Also you used a cherry picker, do you have any other photos putting them in place?

Wow I would love to stumble across something like that. I would have bought the entire lot on the spot.

So I'm thinking it would be handy to have a MIG welder for a couple of small projects as well as eventual use when restoring an old car or two. I don't need something super fancy but don't mind paying for a decent tool that I can enjoy over the years instead of fussing and cussing every time I...

I used to build guitars and the best market was ebay, better than big guitar shows. Gotta find the market to move product.

Very nice build, thanks for posting. How much were the raw materials?
