If you have any questions when you finally get the JD B from your grandpa, let me know. I've spent numerous hours working on old JDs and even more hours driving them. Also, whatever happened to the Model A's you were thinking about buying?

Thanks! Your place is looking great too. I always liked the Quonset hut look, but I wouldn't want to deal with the curved walls. If you ever make it up around the Topeka area, let me know, and I can show you around. I'll have to get some pictures of the other cars on the farm that are waiting...

I was thinking that it would be neat to have some different-depth cubbie/shelves in the dead space between the wall and the curve of the Quonset. You could also add some to your Berline wall that you're building, but they'd be lower to the ground. The place is looking much better now that you...

Well I finally got around to cleaning up the belt/disc sander. It originally used an odd 37 13/26" belt, but I found that it had been modified a little bit to clear a common 36" belt. Model and Serial Number I cleaned up the table with some steel wool and wd-40. I also tore apart the...

Your Model A project looks to be in better shape than mine... Mine's a future project. I haven't even got it out from behind the old shed at the farm. I'm looking forward to seeing your garage and hot rod progress. :thumbup:

Thanks! I've got a long way to go on the Bel Air before it looks as good as your C10. I'll be picking your brain for advice when I eventually get to the point of painting it.

Things have been busy here with the weather starting to finally warm up. I haven't had much time to work in the shop with farm work and other house projects taking up most of my time, but I do have an addition to the Old 'Arn Barn...some old Chevy metal - a 1966 Chevy Bel-Air. A couple...

Congrats to you and your wife, Eric! Ellie looks right at home in the garage with you. :)

I'll keep that in mind when I get to that point. Thanks for the tip.

Got a little work done in the shop the other day. Got some pictures up on the wall. Then cleaned up and hammered some dents out of my "new" trash can.

Maybe you could use some of that scrap metal you picked up...weld a couple pieces together in a short U shape to raise it off the floor 1/4 or so. I agree that screw in feet wouldn't feel right for how beefy that bench is. And good luck on the house project...

I like how you painted the walls...I'm thinking about doing something like that in my shop. Also, your bike project looks pretty neat. Looking forward to see how it turns out.

First a vintage Craftsman bandsaw and now this? Looks like you're well on your way to sliding down the slippery slope of old 'arn. :lol:

That's good that it would be above the waterline if you had another freak rainstorm. Hopefully you've finally got your drainage issues sorted out so it's never a problem again. I know how frustrating that can be...I've got to do some landscaping this spring to keep water from getting into my...

Haha I have a love/hate relationship with CL. I love it when there are good deals and I have money, but I hate it when there are good deals and I have no money. Thanks! It's pretty clean, but there are a few small rust areas. I'm really wanting to swap in a V8, but my dad is wanting to keep it...

Thanks, Kevin! Someday, I'd like to have some of the equipment like you have...especially your cnc. Yeah, eventually I would like to insulate it, though that project may be a ways off. I'd love to do the spray foam, but it's pretty expensive. Here's a few more pics of the '66 Bel Air. It's been...

I've been pretty busy, so I haven't had a whole lot of time to spend in the shop. Last weekend, I did rearrange and clean the shop up. Before (looking towards the west side of the shop): And after: I moved the dirtbike over to this side and lined all of 'em up. The nice thing about...

Your bench is looking good. The only thing I'd be concerned about with the "leg" is that moisture from the concrete could possibly soak into the plywood and de-laminate it. I'm not sure if that's as big of an issue up north, but in the spring in Kansas, due to crazy weather and humidity, the...

The logo under the poly would look awesome on your bench, but I'd be afraid of scratching it if working on anything metal. As long as you have a piece of hardboard to throw on top, it'd solve that problem.

Looks like you have some work ahead of you on that door. I'm sure you'll get it looking good though.
