KM Scott,..that looks like a very cool shop to me. Alot of capabilities. Your shop has 'soul'. Well done. :3gears:

Ever consider aquiring and using Time Domain Reflectometer? (TDR) Guarantee it will find the discontinuity.

Shopsmiths can do alot of things. Some of the attachments offer descent performance. However, they do alot of operations, but none of them are outstanding. IMO they are best at using up and wasting alot of space. :p

I think it is called OCD.

Mark, That is a very kuul idea for bookends. My compliments.

Nice work.

I built these Cabinets/Workbenches from scratch. They match my kitchen cabinets. Used a granite look formica top. I also made this Roubo Split Top Woodworking Workbench that utilizes Benchcraft Vises. Weighs about 300 lbs. Also made this Cabinet for my Garage Sink.

Garage Space is precious. Use it wisely. "Everything has a place and there is a place for everything." Practice the '5S' rules Weedhopper and your garage will attain enlightenment. :3gears:

I leave my spare batteries plugged in. If I do not I will not have a fresh charged battery to switch. Someone needs to call Dewalt, Bosch, etc. and ask if this is proper,..and safe. I don't want to have my garage grounded by the FAA. :3gears:

I liked the pictures of the crane drooping an old beater on an above ground safe room. Hardly, a real world scenario. If you consider that car flying around above 50 mph and twisting violently I am not sure I would feel safe in that room and not sure if the anchor bolts would hold. My point is...

Really nice. You need to put a motor and steering wheel on it.

I understand your concern about getting trapped. However, you have to get a permit to install it, they know exactly where you are. It comes with a come along and hooks in the event you cannot get the door open. My cell phone works inside it. I have no issue getting in it if an F4 or F5 coming...

By the way,..basements do not do well here due to the clay and high water table. The ground will shift alot due to the extreme weather and mositure changes. Almost every basement here will start cracking leaking in a few years. That's a few of the reasons why they call it The Prairie or Tornado...

If you live in Oklahoma you want one of these or an equivalent. It is important to be below ground when cars start flying around. Tornados happen here and it gives you a place to go just in case. This unit is actually considered a 12 man unit. My neighbor has a 6 man and is considerably smaller...

For those interested I had a Saferoom intsalled in my Garage Floor. Here are a few pictures of the install. Basically 8' L x 5' W x 5' D

Try using the end made of steel. The handles do not hold up very well when used as a hammer. :3gears:

Thou hast committed Blasphemy!!! Thou seeketh something precious for nothing!!! Thou hast the opportunity to enter the brotherhood of Quality Antique Vises. Good Grief!! What have we come to in the land of forgotten Vises. A nice Reed, Charlie Parker, Athol, Prentiss, Wilton, etc. is the center...

You might clean off some paint on the generator side and look for a nameplate. Judging from the picture of the Briggs I would not think it is very powerful.

Knock the pin out and it will come apart. That is what I did on my Prentiss 22. :3gears:

Yepper, I have been there done that. I only loan tools to my very good friends. And I have forgot about the loan because it was a seldom used specialty tool. Then about six months after you loan it out and need that tool you forget (sometimes) who you loaned it to. Arrggghh! Anyway, I have a...
