Great build! I love the size of the building and am envious of your integrated mezzanine (compared to my afterthought one, haha). That red clay sure makes a mess huh?

Nice! I love the Packout stuff, and got a couple of the larger bins for Christmas a few years ago. I was never able to figure out what to put in them, I think the 12v connectors and stuff would be better off in a slim Packout organizer than the big one. I may use one to hold all of my...

To be determined, but I'd say, eventually YES. I already have a restored and fully operational Plectron alert receiver, and with easy access to the stuff to make it happen, I'd say the chances are good. :cool:

Thanks!

Haha yep, a NICU nurse told us when our oldest was in the hospital; "every kid has their own story" and boy that sure is true! Here's a link to the micro PC, I've had it a couple of weeks now, so far so good! I am able to run radio programming software on it, which gives most PC processors a...

Thanks!

You're welcome! You are correct, the Ford engine parts are still available, though they have been out of production since Ford sold the heavy truck division in the late 90's, so you do have to do a little digging to get what you need. The engine is a 534CI gas job. It's leaking oil, and the carb...

Here are a couple shots of the shop as it sits today. I think it's a large, functional, and adaptable space that I can use for the foreseeable future: Now, let's get back to the bar build and decorating!

The workshop is nearing the finish line! This past weekend I built the large 4' x 8' Workbench/Table. I had most of the materials left over from the mezzanine, and only needed to buy the top. I was tempted to go with the Butcherblock again to match the tech bench, but the sale at Home Depot was...

Hi, I'm Nick, an I like Tools... With the hardware (mostly) organized and put away, time to tackle the mess of tools. My tool situation has been a mess ever since we moved, and it compounded with the construction, and having tools in multiple spots. Now with everything together, here's the...

Hi, I'm Nick and I have a hardware & hardware organization problem... I REALLY wanted to get a nice Lista or Vidmar cabinet for my hardware storage needs, but they're just SO EXPENSIVE right now, I just couldn't justify it. I was at my local Home Depot and they had these Husky work stations on...

After the party, I moved the truck back to the other side of the garage, it's just easier to work from the other side with the lumber and everything stacked against that other wall. I definitely need to get that exhaust fan system set up. I started the truck to move it, and jockey it into...

The contents were totally fine, I've had one of those Goldenrod dehumidifiers in it since day one and it's worked as advertised!

Well as promised, here is an update on what has been going on since New Years. I mentioned in my NYE party review that the COVID spike had kept the crowd size at the NYE party lower than past years. Nevertheless, we ended up with a mini super-spreader event. All four of us in our house ended...

Wow man, great build! I love everything about it, the color choices, the floor, the cabinets, everything! Even though personally, I'm a rustic-style guy, I love the way this one is turning out. I can't wait to see the finished product!
