Mounted my dads old fastener cabinet

I never actually bought the Locost book... but I did download a pdf cut sheet and frame plans.. past that you kind of wing it.. :)

Floor has been painted with valspar oil based utility and porch paint... took a while to decide on which paint to go with.. found some good reviews with this paint on OSB in a shed Next is finishing the fan filter boxes and get working

No progress has been made to the Locost other than gathering parts... the shop so far has been fairly "Low Cost".. fairly..lol... I have not sprayed any paint in it yet, but when I do, it will not be until ive done as much as can to make sure it is as safe as possible.. I will post more pics up...

well... life took over a bit there and the shop had to wait its turn... now with a 4 year old son and a pregnant wife, its time to work on the shop again. a little update photo. the floor is being painted currently with an oil based porch paint... phase one lights are up.. ceiling fans are in...

Im looking to run a Big Maxx 45000 on a 100lb cylinder... also interested to see what others have done...

I have not cut the final windshield but a few test pieces that went very well... I have yet to make a build page for the car yet... It has been on the back burner for a bit to complete the shed and allow my little boy tp grow up a bit so he can help and remember working on it.

Here are a few updated photos... Its been slow going... More to come.

I plan to try a dew different type of filters in the floor to cut down on overspray... We'll see how it works... As far as the glass cutting... No pics of test cuts.. But it works pretty good.... Very slow going though..

I have not cut the final glass yet... But have made a few test runs on some scrap windshields from work... Here is a video of the method im useing..

The wife wont let her S4 be outside at night... My jeep has a hard top so i didnt mind it being out for a couple of year... But i realy wanted to take the top off and leave it off.. So it must go in... Ill drive my '82 rabbit truck if the weather looks bad...

There is a large gas main that runs through the back of my property and no structuree can be within 25' of it... How the privacy fence is there who knows... A backyard track has crossed my mind since the build has started :)

The engine is from a 2002 yamaha fz1.. 1000cc and about 150hp.. I chose it for a couple of reasons... It uses side draft carbs that will allow the airbox or intake filter setup to fit under the bonet... Also I was able to buy a whole bike for $2400 and sell all of the parts i didnt need and make...

The holes in the floor are for floor filter for the exhaust side of my "spray booth" function of the shop... It will be a positive presure down draft style spray enviroment. There will be covers for the holes while not in use.
