It's starting to come back together! I hope to finish this today. Untitled by J Beer, on Flickr Untitled by J Beer, on Flickr

Matty Really enjoyed this! Just binged on your thread. Those steel shop tables and benches are making me jealous! I'm looking forward to getting some welding practice in to get to your level.

Graham, Thanks! Actually we have no reports of haunting! After two years we are lucky to have a pretty quiet (supernaturally speaking) house. So you guys asked to see some more restoration pics. Nadene and I just finished touching up one of the units in the building we live in. It's a one...

@Bob Heine Thanks for stopping by! No kidding - what a small world! Well you can still by a shell here for 20k if you're interested. We got our big *** house for a great price - 7000 sq feet for the price of an inexpensive single family home. @On_Edge Thanks man! Yeah I've seen those K Body at...

@Gregor Thanks man! I know you've been seeing a bit on Instagram (@Jon_Beer is my handle) but thanks for stopping in! I can share a lot more here. I've got some more sketches for the garage I need to scan and get up here. I need a larger assembly table - something that's 4 x 8 feet total but...

Jess I just sat and read your thread in one sitting tonight. Fantastic! I really enjoyed watching you build your shop out and learn along the way. Thank you for sharing you successes and failures and letting us in along the way to learn with you. It's why I joined GJ in the first place! I've...

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates for a while. I was actually finishing the garage and starting to work in it! So since we last spoke...;) I got pretty much everything finished and then the garage really started to fill up. I mentioned I'm making some carriage house doors for a...

Crusarius, BDBecker, TreyT, Bigbandguy, Dfffay thank you for chiming in. DBBecker - thanks for that great tip! Wish I had known that a while back:thumbup: TreyT - well hopefully I can give you a professional looking one! Although first and foremost it needs to work well. Honestly I think that...

Thanks MrBalll! The video is great - it really seems to make a difference. Much more than the enclosures people have built with egg crate foam. do you have any pics of the baffle system?

Nine, beautiful work! That car is something else :)

Hi everyone - I'm trying to find some reliable info about building an enclosure for my compressor. It's a 17 gall oilless HF compressor my BiL gave me as a gift. I love it but it's loud! I'd like to build an insulated enclosure for it and am looking for some input in how other people have dealt...

Thanks everyone for your nice comments! Made some progress in the shop. Yesterday Nadene and I spent the day doing a coat of traditional lime wash on the brick wall. Her gardening area will be on this wall so it was extra special for her. Limewash is a really cool material and we chose that...

Madoc1 - here is a little teaser of our second building that my fiancee and I just finished. Its a 4 family, built in 1890. Along with 2 or 3 other guys (plumber, electrician, helper) we did most of the work ourselves. Restoring/rebuilding the cornice on the front of the house was at the time...

Ryan, Piro, Hostyle, Iron, 95rio - Thanks for the kind words! They have been encouraging the past week as I've gone from studs to insulation, osb, and drywall! Here are some pics. My iPhone camera is full of sawdust and most of these are taken late at night when I finish, sorry for the dull...

Just found this thread by chance! Super impressed man! I come from things on the opposite end - more woodworking and less metalworking so its inspiring to see you get your feet wet in a new area and excel. Subscribing and looking forward to your next update. Jon:beer:

Thanks! Our ReStore is really hit or miss but honestly...80% miss. I try to go semi regularly but good stuff disappears so quickly its all luck.

I went down a 4 inches below floor level. Unfortunately I have a tree on one side of the trench and a cement window well on the other, so no pipe. :-/ I plan to redirect the downspout into a rain catchment barrel and water the garden with the run off. Not to worry, I'm keeping one long wall...

I think that there was something like what I made there originally. Either that or the lumpiness was just a result of shoddy workmanship. But since the rest of the shop was seemingly built with care I think its just deteriorated concrete or maybe even a crappy patch job that came later on.

Hi all, Some of you may have been watching my bandsaw restoration here on GJ. After two years of waiting I'm finally getting to do my shop renovation. My fiancee and I have a 7000sq ft Victorian in the Hudson Valley in NY. We are landlords (two buildings with 9 rental units) but formally...

Hi all, sorry for the lack of updates. After two years of waiting I'm finally getting to do my shop renovation. I have a few big projects beginning soon (custom furniture and 2 sets of carriage house doors) so getting the shop up and running became a priority. Here are some pics. Its a 16 x 30...
