+1 to @ssdave. Inspect the hoses. Replace them if you find any nicks or cuts. Watch some videos by Jody Collier of Welding Tips and Tricks or Bob Moffet on Weld.com or Smith Equipment on acetylene torch safety. Treated with care and appropriate caution the risks are entirely manageable...

Agreed! Thanks for keeping us up and running! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can buy a mobile base that will adjust to fit the base. I made my own because I’m cheap. And own a welder :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And suddenly I no longer have three big plastic totes on the floor! Four years of that nonsense is over!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m actually painting the interior white. Just a little behind in my pics. Spraying the ceiling is definitely in my plans. Not looking forward to that job as it will be more chaos. But the end result will be worth it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And so here’s the progress to date. Everything is sheeted. And the first bit of shelving is up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s my final shop frontier. This is where the shelves are relative to the interior wall I built to corral the motos. Firs step in getting rid of the shelves is to remove all the cr@p. The floor in now impassable but it’s temporary. Then dismantle the shelves and recover a hundred or...

More progress. Stripped the paint from the metal bench top. Put a shelf and articulating light above the lathe. Turned the cutoff part of the metal table top into a stock shelf. Hung up my clamps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks really great! Did you spray the ceiling white?

Thanks. I’ve been coping with the disaster for near four years so it’s really satisfying to have it come together. It’s a 2000 model. I bought it assuming it needed a top end job. Turns out it had a seized crank. Found an NOS OEM crank and cylinder and I’m putting it back together. I don’t...

Made the door frame and hung the door today. Really happy with how the space is shaping up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a good idea. Sadly it’s all sheeted in. The plan is to move all the riding gear into this new separate space. Helmets, jackets, boots etc. I’ll put up some shelving and hooks on the new wall to accommodate all the gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Built the wall that separates the motorcycles from the shop area. Next up is build the door frame and hang the door. Originally I thought I’d put in a pocket door. I thought about the framing for a pocket door and how it would limit what I could hang on the wall. So I’m going with a standard...

Thanks, I had a feeling that might be the case. Have lathe, will thread! Or break out the dies :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Record 34P that I inherited with my shop space. Problem was that it was painted gold. I decided to see if acetone would take of the gold and leave the factory paint intact. Worked like a charm! Before: After: I pulled the jaws to clean some gunk out of the crevices and discovered...
