I don't think I posted this when I made it. A shelf for my T Mobile internet gizmo that lives in the garage.

I don't know Duke, I guess I,m pretty low brow myself as I'm working on a 12 year old Jura.

Probably be two weeks before I use it but I'll let you know what I think.

Moving forward on getting the mini splits installed in the shop. I got the first compressor unit mounted. I’m trying to decide whether I should fully install one unit and get it running or mount the other compressor unit and do each step of the installation concurrent for both. Either way I...

The bookstore dropped off a new micron vacuum gauge for installing the two mini splits I bought for the shop

Bob certainly earns his keep around here. I'm somewhat looking for a 4-wheel companion for him. I got the first foundation done for the compressor units and the mixer worked great. I do need to find a small hydraulic motor to replace the electric motor on the mixer. Dan, Bob puts the barrel of...

I'm in NE Florida and the exterior tin on my shop is 26Ga. so not really substantial enough for the wall brackets. I'm on high ground so flooding is not a concern. I probably could get by with a plastic pad on the north side of the shop but on the south side space is limited so a sized to fit...

I built this bench 2 years ago and added a Craftsman vice that I got for Christmas in 1975. It lives outside my shop and is quite handy.

After 6 years I finally decided to add climate control to the shop. So in preparation for installing two mini splits I needed some tool upgrades. Went to Harbor Freight for a new vacuum pump. While I was there I picked up a medium parts tray and another pick up tool. Etta brings tennis balls...

Just when you everything just where you want it Bamm. Market place dumps a deal too good to pass up and now you’ve advanced to the next level of shop Tetris.

Looking pretty good, almost time to move everything back in. Day jobs have a way of making everything take longer.

Once you go Noga, you never go back.

Until you get this first step done, any talk about machines, voltages, tooling, etc. is a waste of time.
