    Hi Dan. Welcome. I also have a small restoration shop just north of you in New Brunswick. Where is your shop located? Any signs of spring down there yet? Just got the roof closed in on my new shop last week. Started building last fall. Never shoveled so much in my life!

    Thanks. I'll send more pics as the project goes along. I would love to send some snow to those snow blower guys. We have lots to share this year so far! I would haul some to them right now if they paid for my gas and if they were anywhere south of here!

    Hello everyone. Thought it was about time to post as I had been lurking for a while. I retired last June after 32 years of teaching mechanics, welding and carpentry, and school administrator here in NB Canada. Now I am spending my time building an expansion on my garage at home and will be doing...
