    He paid $75 for it. I almost bought it, but I don't really have room for it and I also already have a bench top drill press and a big floor model. Thanks for the info.

    Let's see your cannon! :evil:

    Like others, I love cannons. Would love to have a real one of my own. I take every chance I get to visit old forts to see what kind of cannons they have on display. I have several small cannon models, below are some photos of a couple of them I could get to tonight. One is a model of a civil...

    Inside my garage called Radio Heaven

    If they've never been electrically restored I'd be VERY careful playing them for a long period of time, like more than an hour. The old filter caps are going to die, not just but when. And when they do it could burn up the radio before you could get it unplugged. If you're not up to it, it...

    Inside my garage called Radio Heaven

    here's a few more and this is all for tonight. The big red beacon in the last 2 pix is the last surviving beacon from the top of WBT's center (B) tower. WBT's A and C towers were knocked down by hurricane Hugo in 1989. This beacon was installed in 1945 when the 3 towers were originally...

    Inside my garage called Radio Heaven

    I've been taking some pictures for another group so I thought I'd share them with the GJ forum. This is inside the garage that's part of our house. More than 25 years ago we took down the garage door and built a wall in it's place. We put furring strips and 3/4" foam on the floor and covered it...

    Urban Archeology: Garages and Workspaces in Virginia and the Carolinas

    I wonder how they insure a place like that? Looks like liability insurance would cost a fortune... In Monroe they have a Senior Center with a nice wood shop, the only problem with it is the old fart that runs it won't let anyone use the equipment, he'll only let you watch him do it, but most of...

    Ford COE Kustom

    Cool COE, I love your metal work and the chop looks great. I'd love to have one of my own, but I think I'd rather have a flat bed. The photo of one from ebay looked nice except the overly deep pickup bed didn't look right to me. Rather have a wood flat bed with a cutout to show that beautiful...
