Great pics of your family shop! I used to work in a family owned dealership, just about the same size as yours. What I miss is the old metal frame windows in the shop area. I really liked how much light they let in, to help you see under the hood.(even on cloudy days). Just wondering what size...

Great job! What progress you have made for one person! I can't wait to see more! Keep up the great work! Stay safe! God speed!

There is a lot to be said that you are moving in to "her" house. She will always have the final say on any major decisions.I would suggest she sell her house, and the two of you pick out a house together and build you garage after a joint agreement is made. Take her to some of the guys you know...

Wow! What a neat project! Your fabrication and welding skills are fantastic! I can't wait to see more! Do you think it will be strong enough to push around a little dirt? I guess you could play around with some gearing to develop enough torque? Keep up the great work!!

You should have asked for the store manager. I worked at a Sears store several years ago, and the store manager will go out of his way to make you satisfied.With the cut back in store employees now days, you probably got some inexperienced lazy *** punk, who did not want to even wait on you...

Thanks for the great photos and memories! I grew up in old garages like those in the photos, and remember the "grease" and exhaust smell of days gone by. My dad ran a garage for over thirty five years. I took it over and ran it for another 15. I had to clean out a lot of his accumilated "junk"...

Great looking set up! as for a top, I would suggest going to a sheet metal shop with your top measurements and getting a quote on a sheet metal top with a back splash molded in the back. You could add a back splash board to nail the rolled metal to. Sure would keep small parts from falling...

Great Work! Since you are a pretty talented wood worker and dreamer, I have a idea for a work bench.... Why not creating something out of wood that resembles the old Alimite oil and lube station workbenches? They have a nice art deco look, that would fit right in your style that is going on! You...

I agree with some of the previous posts, BUY THE COMPRESSOR! I have had Champion compressors in several shops I ran years ago, and with continuous use by three mechanics daily, it held up quite well. These air compressors made now days are throw away. You can't get parts for many of them, and if...

Wooden floors are suitable for what you are using the building for. However, if you plan to store any motorized vehicle in the building, you need to consider that sooner or later one of the vehicles will leak oil or gas.The wooden floor will soak it up and become discolored all too quickly. I...
