No up dates I'm afraid.Too cold for brick laying,has been for weeks. So I thought I'd post a couple of pics of some of the equipment that I've gathered for it.Some needs restoring but,most of it just needs a clean up and some paint. Fly press.No tooling for it yet but will eventually get some...

Had a similar problem with the house we're renovating.Foot path over foot path over foot path!It had bridged the damp proof course in the brick wall at the front of the house by at least 10 inches.Should be below it by at least 6. Due to the damp problem caused,a previous owner had called in a...

Fantastic building,lots of character! Good to hear that you plan to keep the original woodwork.Of course,sometimes it's unavoidable and you have to remove some original fittings to make the place habitable.It's a shame though when some people buy an old building and just tear the heart out of...

Will do!You know,since I started using this site,I've got some great ideas from the guys here.Just hope I have the time to use them all.:bounce:

I've been keeping my eyes open for ideas for benches etc. for my garage build.Those work stations look very cool indeed.Not much chance of finding one on this side of the pond though! There doesn't seem to be much in the way of complicated fabrication in them. If I can find a matching pair of...

Hi Richard from a fellow HAMBer in Scotland.Reckon your wife and my wife could be sisters!

I was thinking along the same lines but,I think they had one piece windshields.

Happy New Year to you and your's too! Just found this thread.Beautiful house,cool shop full of cool stuff. Man,with all that snow you could almost be in Scotland! Looking forward to pics of that fancy can full of oily rags!:lol_hitti

Yep,just down the M8 in Armadale.

Have we ever!Got up to 2c today ,starting to melt.Reckon we've got more on the way though!

Just found this thread,great stuff!Kept me occupied whilst keeping a low profile.The wife's not happy with me as she caught me stiring paint with a teaspoon from the kitchen draw! The teardrop looks great,nice job. Congrats on the wedding and the new house.Good luck with the job hunting.A man of...

Man,that takes me back! Jaegerwurst,pommes mit mayo,DM3.75 for a litre of Vodka!Happy days! Guthersloh '83-'87. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!!!:beer:

Glad to be of help,minhster.They came out well. What you have there,is a pair of genuine 'NATO Standard' workshop trash cans!::bounce: Made quite a few of them when serving in the RAF. If you want to go 'high tech',you can take a length of 8mm round bar,bend it round a gas bottle or similar.Then...

5 gallon cans make great trash cans.Let them vent for a couple of days then punch a hole in the side,as near the top as you can,using a brass or copper chissel(no sparks).Using the hole as a starting point,cut around the can with snips and remove the top.Bend the top 1/4 or 1/2 inch of metal...

Thanks Chris.The outside will have the look of a Victorian 'gig' house(sort of garage for the Sunday carriage) while the interior will hopefully have a '40's feel to it. Link to build thread, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=405109 Cheers, Mark

Thanks walt. VIVA LA HAMB!!

Thanks!There's a link to my build thread at the bottom of my post.Not much updating at the moment due to bad weather.:( Hoop has to go I'm afraid.Plan is for a double door on that end wall.that part of the building will be seperate from the main part and will be used for storing steel stock for...

Autoguy,that place looks huge!Great potential to make some $'s too.Good luck with it. I've started converting a run-down farm cottage into my new garage.It's not that big(around 700 sq ft) but should give me enough space to build my car in comfort. Front view. Rear view.
