This one has long been a fav....

Not an engineer, he says. Not a fabricator, he says. D-yaaaam, man! Ford better hire you quick like. They would LOVE tolerances that close! :willy_nil Rodney

Over the last couple of days I went back and re-read this thread from the beginning. I was looking for a link that I knew was posted somewhere in the mix. (The one about the guy fabricating a "Grand Willys"). In the process, I just had to give you props for how far you have come. With so much...

Congrats on the extended drive! You deserve EVERY minute of that, and I hope your face hurts for a week from all the grinning! Praying for your health to continue to get better through this new year. (I was going to add motivation to that as well, but you are already WAY more motivated than...

Well... Who knew? (Little voice on left shoulder saying "who cares". Shhh! Well, obviously SOMEONE did...) Thank you for your continuing efforts to keep us up to date on what truly isn't mainstream newsworthy topics. This truly is a thread I often check for updates to. Here's hoping your...

Squankum, thank you for the always entertaining and often enlightening posts. A guy just ever knows what will be here when he checks in. But I have to wonder, do you look anything at all like your avatar? Rodney

I'm in too! Subscribed! Wood working, metalworking, motorcycle, and all of us along for the ride. Thanks for taking us along! Looking forward to where this goes, and what you will do in the space. Rodney

One thing I've learned from this and several others on several forums, is that progress is progress no matter how slow it may seem. In following your thread, you clearly have accomplished much. Nothing ever takes as long as we think it will. Invariably longer. I say that to remind myself as...

There you go! New project, new tool! (That's one of the rules, right?) Haven't posted to your threads before, but have read through a few. Thanks for being such a HUGE contributor to the Journal! Following along for the ride, and hoping for blue skies your way. Rodney

For all the things you did for the first time, it all turned out great! Keep plugging at it, even the smallest steps are still steps... Would live to have a space that size. Rodney.

Re: The Blue Garage - Bucharest, Romania Very well worded, and I must say very well done. All I have seen speaks to your integrity and your work ethic. Thank you for continuing to share with us! Rodney

Looking at your last rendering in post #39, could you not design the boat port roof to mimic the house behind? A cross gable off of the main garage gable, albeit at a shallower pitch to match the garage roof. If they don't like that then they are calling your house and probably most of the...

First let me comment that your thread, and of course your work, is awesome. Not to mention your work ethic. On the LED strips, I have seen an adjustable shelving unit that had light strips under each shelf and although I haven't looked real close, on first look it appears that the strips are...

Wow, it must be like memory lane every time you start to think about a bike. I assume they all have a story behind them. Awesome collection and the ones on display in the basement are over the top. You need to create a museum space, not just another larger storage space! Rodney

Glad to have you back! Was starting to think that there was a hostile take over at the Gleaming Towers... Signed, once again ___pily content. (Part of the customer base...)

On top of the mammoth undertaking of these projects, you still find time to document everything you do with such detail! Thank you for your dedication! I always check to see what you have been up to. With everything you seem to accomplish, are you "playing" at these projects full time? It...

VERY impressive detail work, you obviously have put a GREAT deal of thought into every aspect of this build. A question on how the drains work on those vanity sinks. Love the look overall. Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride. Truly and epic build and epic thread. Rodney

IF you were considering it as living space, i.e. conditioned all the time, then it makes sense to spend the extra on a layer of foam. But as mentioned already the step from 2x4 to 2x6 (along with thicker insulation) is minimal in cost and more than "comfortable" for an occasionally conditioned...

Beautiful craftsmanship, efficient shop. LOVE the look of VG fir. Excellent work. Always loved the satisfaction of seeing the finished product, but also hated to work with some of the clients that paid the wage! Rest well, you have clearly earned it. Rodney

Yes, either Thomas is having an out of body experience..... Or he's taken his body with him.... Either way I'm sure there's going to be a story about it soon. Rodney
