Well, I finally decided to go ahead and start my own build thread. After lurking for a while and enjoying such great threads as the 1950s Craftsman Garage, the Restored 1930s Auto Shop, and Workshop 88, I realized that it helps to have a great name to give an identity to the places we spend so much time in. After thinking about it a for little while, I came up with this:

fy1s1x.jpg


Why the name? Well, let's have a little history...

I grew up on a small farm in northeast Kansas. Since my grandpa grew up during the great depression, he kept everything. Cars, trucks, tractors, tools, you name it. My dad continued this tradition, so as a kid, I would explore all of the old sheds with the old cars and equipment and learn from my dad all I could about them. At 6 years old, I learned to drive on our antique John Deere two cylinder tractors and that's where my interest in "old 'arn" started.

Fast forward a few years, and I graduate from K-State (go Wildcats!) in mechanical engineering, start working for a great company, get married, and buy a house a half mile from the farm.

So here is the house...1950s brick ranch with a full unfinished basement and 2 car garage.

xfw512.jpg


The garage is home to my '96 Camaro Z28, my wife's car, and during the summer, my '05 Super Glide.

21czbd3.jpg


Now, I feel a little guilty because, for most people, a 2 car garage is all they have or even dream of having. I am very blessed in that I use the garage for parking and have a shop for working. So around back, we have: The Old 'Arn Barn.

1z14mm1.jpg


It's a 30' x 40' with a lean-to off to the side that currently is home to my '97 Yukon and my dad's '56 Chevy farm truck. Then there is a 20' x 40' open front shed with the car I drove to high school, a '73 Chevelle Malibu (4-door unfortunately), my grandpa's old '77 Chevy truck, and our John Deere 60 tractor. I need to get pics of that shed, but haven't got around to it. There's also a smaller 20' x 30' shed back there that I don't have any pictures of.

Anyways, I plan on using this thread to document the projects and changes that go on inside the barn, and I hope y'all enjoy following along. Feel free to give suggestions, ask questions, or just comment. Thanks!

Now I gave my shop the name Old 'Arn Barn for a couple obvious reasons:

1. I like old 'arn.
2. It's a barn.
3. Oh and it rhymes...kinda :lol:

I had kicked around a few other names like:

The Pit Shop - since it is the pit where all of my projects go
or
The Old Iron Workshop - but that seemed like a mouthful

But I digress...

I like old 'arn...and thanks to my upbringing, I've been around it my whole life. I'd also like to thank to the Jalopy Journal and the Garage Journal for really fanning my interest/obsession with it. There's something about the weight, quality, and style that is inherent in the old 'arn that makes it special. Whether it be old cars/trucks, old machinery, or old tractors, they all share the same feel that you don't get with new stuff.

I bet now you're thinking, I have yet to see any old 'arn. Well here you go. I'll start out with my old 'arn tools:

My first Craigslist tool purchase was this 1942 Delta Milwaukee DP220 drill press. My dad bought me the Dayton grinder that's next to it at a farm sale.

ehdo3a.jpg


I then bought this 1956 Craftsman table saw.

2uejqkw.jpg


...a 1948 Delta Milwaukee band saw

24ccox5.jpg


...a 1952 Delta Milwaukee jointer

lvd5u.jpg


...and finally, a 1960 Delta Rockwell shaper.

2mwi8oo.jpg


Are we seeing a pattern here? Woodworking is one of my many hobbies, so I slowly started acquiring the tools necessary to start making some chips fly. I need to get some pictures of some of the project I've completed.

Now, the layout:

This picture is from the door, looking in.

And this picture is looking to the left. Unfortunately, the big air compressor is not mine. I'm just storing it until we get the garage and access doors put up on the maintenance shed at our church.

rbhao1.jpg


When I bought it, there was already a bench that ran most of the way along the back wall. It appears to be made of either butcher block or bowling alley.

25yy5vr.jpg


I tried to use the nails and hangers the previous owner had left on the tool wall, but I didn't really like the layout.

1zqpt7l.jpg


So I drew up a quick sketch of how I wanted it to look, complete with HAMB calendar.

A few days later, I had this.

11ju076.jpg


But my cardboard and duct tape "V" didn't want to stay put. :sad:

1z6t5om.jpg


I'd love to find an actual '57 Chevy "V" to put up instead, but they are expensive. When it get's warm, I need to paint the wall...haven't decided on what colors to use though. I then put up a few signs and an old door up that I'd also found on the farm.

And stepping back for the whole view. My beautiful and thoughtful wife got the Harley banner from her work. She works at an eye doctor, and they sell Harley glasses.

Before getting this house and shop, I'd never had the luxury of working on a level, concrete floor. Oil changes, tire changes, etc. were always done on the gravel driveway, and no matter how heavy a piece of cardboard you had, you'd always find the sharpest rock in the middle of your back. If it was cold outside, you just had to suffer through or wait til spring to do any work. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that anymore. I can fire up the Dayton natural gas heater and in a few minutes, it's toasty inside. Eventually I want to do spray foam insulation, but for now, it's good the way it is.

One of my first vehicle projects I took on was the intake gasket on my Yukon. GM Vortecs are notorious for leaking due to the way the intake bolts on to the block. Fel-pro makes a gasket that helps solve this problem. After a few thousand miles, I haven't lost a drop of antifreeze. That's me, doing open heart surgery on the ol' girl.

33oi2bq.jpg


A few months later, as I was driving the Camaro to visit a buddy's house, I shifted into 5th and hear a grinding noise. I'd completely lost 5th and 6th gear. I had to drop the ****** to take it to get rebuilt. Turns out that the 5th/6th gear cluster had completely stripped out the splines inside the gears and on the shaft itself. I got it rebuilt with upgraded internals, so it'll withstand more hp. :cool: Now I just need to upgrade the motor. :3gears:

2rpcmpx.jpg


I'd love to get a lift, but the ceiling height is a little low...and I'm poor. You can see the heater in this picture.

14nd99j.jpg


And in this one, you can see the sorry state of my workbench at the time.

My first restoration project was this old Columbian post vise. I didn't have a vise for my workbench, so as I was poking around in another shed, I found this vise buried in the dirt underneath the '50 Chevy Fleetline. I don't have any before pictures, but it just had a bit of surface rust. I took it apart, wire brushed it, and mounted it to my bench. I used a chunk of hedge wood for the post support.

11idbpx.jpg


I didn't paint it, just wire brushed all the old dirt and rust off, then ran an oily rag over it to help protect it from rusting. I should paint the raised lettering to make it really stand out, but that's a project for another day.

ra9jkj.jpg


My next restoration was Grandpa's old 1949 Sears Dunlap bench grinder I had found at our other farm. It was in pretty rough shape when I found it.

hwa33k.jpg


Notice anything odd about it?

One of these days I need to clean out that shed and see what other treasures are in there. I'm hoping there's a flathead v8 buried in there that goes with the '36 Ford these bumpers came from.

65vbeu.jpg


I tore it apart and had to replace a couple springs, the switch, and the power cord.

t83gb8.jpg


I put it back together and she runs like a top. There's quite a bit of horizontal movement in the shaft though, so I'm not sure what to do with it. :headscrat

Man this is fantastic. Glad you finally made a build thread.

I see a lot of things we have in common including some of your signs on your wall. I have the same piston sign, Chevrolet script and Dino sign in my office. I had a chuckle when you said you still had your first car and it was 4 door. I still have mine and it is a 4 door as well but a 79' Caprice.

It is really cool that have alot of your grandpa's stuff. I have some of my grandpa's tools including a 1949 Craftsman wood lathe and his complete Proto tool chest with tools from 1968.

How many miles does your Fbody have?

Look forward to your builds.

Great name by the way.

Love the home, grounds, and shop(s). You are so far ahead of the game your coming in first!! The older power tools are genuine treasures. The shop space is fantastic. I want to compliment you for everything so far posted and wish you welcome and every success in what you wish to do.
What ever you do, never let those lovely power tools get away from you. You have tools that people on here lust after.

Welcome again, and thanks for making such a great thread!

Thanks! I'd been meaning to make a thread for a while, but you finally gave me the push to actually do it.

I thought the same thing while I was going through your thread...man this guy is a lot like me...similar cars, similar hobbies. lol Your Caprice is pretty nice...it makes me almost want to do something with the Chevelle. Right now it has the original 350 with straight duals and glass packs. It was the best sounding car in my high school, but it was a dog with the 2 barrel carb. I've got so many other cool project cars that it's hard to justify spending money on that one though.

Yeah, it's awesome to be able to use and eventually pass down tools that our grandpa's used. Goes to show the quality they were made with. The last (I say that it's the last, but it probably won't be) old tool I want to get is a lathe. I'd love to find a Delta Milwaukee with the cast legs, but an old Craftsman like yours would be really nice too. I'll probably just borrow my dad's newer Craftsman lathe indefinitely though. :lol:

My f-body has about 130-ish thousand miles. I'm ready for winter to go away, so I can go cruising again.

Haha I'm glad you like the name!

Thank you for all of your kind words, Herb! I know I have been blessed to find these old power tools. I will definitely hold on to them and one day pass them on to my kids.

Great place you have there. Lots of toys to refurbish, and then always a gem sitting in the wings waiting it's turn. I'll be following along as you get er done. By the way Love to see some pics of that JD 60, I had to sell mine a couple of years back as we sold our farm to retire. I couldn't keep the 60 any longer just didn't have the space to store it. That tractor worked its life from new on our land, I miss hearing it run.

Thank you, Chris! Yeah, up until this last year when Dad bought a 4630, we used the 60 for all of the field work at one of the farms. We use a 70 for most of the field work at the other farm. I've spent quite a few hours in the seats of both of those tractors, pulling a disk. They do have an unmistakeable sound...especially that 60. For as long as I can remember, at idle it runs on one cylinder and fires off the other every 4th time or so. As soon as you put a load to it though, she takes off and fires on both cylinders. I'll be sure to take a picture tonight.

I have the same problem with my Caprice. Over its 20 year life span in my hands (bought it in 95' Jr. in high school) I have about $20,000, But its not work that because that is counting the 4 engines, 3 trans, and 2 rearends I have destroyed. I hope some day to do a frame up restoration on it but even then it will still not be worth much only to me. When the 64' is done I want to get a squarbody C10 from 73-79 and restore. And then maybe the Camaro will need rebuilding. It has 120,000 on the clock. Would love to put a LS 406 stroker and 6 speed in it.

Between my FIL's tools, my dad's tools, my grandpa's tools, and my tools my 2 boys will have no shortage of tools. HA!

I prefer to buy only old machines when I can.

Love your barn and way of thinking.

You should visit the Old Woodworking Machines forum. A lot of guys with similar interest. Just don't ask for a value on a machine. They have a no appraisal rule and they take it serious. Lol

Unfortunately I couldn't keep Grandpaw's or Dads tools, it's good to see someone that can and knows what they have.

Well I've had a very busy weekend, and now my wallet is considerably lighter. I won't spoil it til I can get some pics uploaded tomorrow, but I will give a hint. It involves some more old 'arn and very shiny (and expensive) new 'arn.

I got a chance to take some more pictures this weekend. Here is the open shed to the side of the main barn.

2z7gyt0.jpg


And this is the other smaller shed in the opposite corner of my yard. I've just got a little firewood in it right now.

1zd850w.jpg


Great shop and thread! Any chance of giving us a peek at dad's '56?

Here's a pic of it. I need to do some body work on it. At some point in it's life, it was hit hard in the driver's side. I learned to drive a stick in this truck.

Chris, here's a closer look at the 60. It's been a very good tractor for us.

Thanks, Grizz! Old machines are really neat to work with. It's neat to see how you do things over in the UK, and I'm really liking your truck build.

I have the same problem with my Caprice. Over its 20 year life span in my hands (bought it in 95' Jr. in high school) I have about $20,000, But its not work that because that is counting the 4 engines, 3 trans, and 2 rearends I have destroyed.

Haha, it sounds like you've had some good times in that car. Here's a pic of the '73. We put the moon hubcaps on it during my senior year of highschool. :lol:

xc5ctf.jpg


Yeah, I love those square body Chevys. We've got 3 of them around the farm. The first is my dad's '76 C20 Bonanza edition he's had since the late 70s. One day we are going to restore it. It's still running strong. The other is my grandpa's '77 C10 with a 250 straight 6 and manual. That's the one in the open sided shed. We put a bale spear in the back and use it to haul hay between farms. Then we've also got a '78 K10 that doesn't run. Yeah, I'd love to build the motor in my Camaro too, but I'll be waiting on that one.

Haha your boys are gonna be glad to have those tools one day. I can tell that you've already got them on the right track with helping you in the shop. My wife and I are probably going to wait another year or so before we have kids, but I'm already excited about getting them in the shop with me and teaching them how to build things.

Haha yeah, I understand their way of thinking though...if they start giving out appraisals, it makes it harder to get good deals on old 'arn.

Wow, outstanding post.

Thanks! Yeah, that is unfortunate that you couldn't hang on to them. I inherited my grandpa and dad's hang-on-to-everything mentality. You never know when you might need something. Now finding out where you put it...that's another problem entirely. :lol:

The suspense...

Haha!

Well, like every good story, it starts on Craigslist. Two weeks ago, I had seen the Delta Rockwell shaper I posted a picture of earlier on Craigslist for $40. I knew it was a good deal because it had the stand and 4 brand new shaper cutters. It was about 2 hours away in Clinton, Missouri, so we went on a roadtrip to pick it up. On the way back, we stopped at Gail's Harley-Davidson in KC for the fun of it. On the way home, we got to talking about how much fun a long motorcycle trip would be with my parents. My Super Glide is a little small to ride a long ways two-up, so I started looking for a touring bike...

In the meantime, I see a belt/disc sander on Craigslist, along with a tablesaw and drill press for $150. They are all made by Power King, a division of Atlas Press Co. I call the guy and he says he'll take $100 for everything. I don't need a tablesaw or another drill press, but I'll find a use for them. So this Saturday, once again, we take a family roadtrip to Kansas City. We picked up the tools (pardon the bad pictures...they're still in the back of the Yukon).

Belt/Disc Sander:

n2kas1.jpg


Drill Press:

x5cfew.jpg


Tablesaw:

2wrhsux.jpg


Motor (made by PowrKraft - Monkey Wards brand):

14jq9eu.jpg


Then we hit up a couple Harley dealers in the KC area. Rawhide Harley had just sold a bike I wanted to look at, so we go to Gail's Harley again. They had a 2008 Electra Glide Ultra Classic 105th anniversary edition... :drool:

The price was extremely good... :eyecrazy:

So I may have bought it... :eek::willy_nil

They deliver it Wednesday... :rocker::bounce:

My shop is an old 24 x 40 chicken coup, raised the 6.5 ceiling to 9.5ft by building a inside steel frame work that is level and square while allowing the outside to show it's charater. Walls are sheeted in OSB with 3/4" plywood backing between the steel studs. Let's me hang whatever in just about any spot. (wanted to add a photo of the interior but couldn't attach two photos?) let me know if your interested and how to attach multiple photos.

Wow great score on those tools. When you get them all setup you can have one tablesaw with a dado blade in it and the other for ripping. Same with drill presses. You can never have enough tools. Just not enough space usually happens.

Love the 73'. Looks to be in the same shape as my Caprice. Waiting its turn for some TLC. I really should get rid of mine but their are so many memories. My wife and I's first date where it mysteriously died at a stop light and we had to push her to the curb. Waited 5 minutes and it started back up. They only time in 10 years I drove it that it died. WTH? She will never forget that.

The Malibu caught my attention! I love those 73-77 GM cars.

I like 'em a lot too. My grandma bought this one new in '73. She was gonna trade in the '66 Bel-Air (2 door post car) until grandpa thankfully stepped in and said no. In a couple weekends the '66 will hopefully be in my shop, so I can start working on it. Your Buick is really gonna get after it with the new motor.

Second post to show my shop interior.

Looks like you have some neat projects going on in there. I like it.

Nice space and I like the line up of vehicles

Thanks...and that's not even scratching the surface of vehicles we've got. lol

Hey I REALLY like your vice, I have one exactly like it!

Haha that's awesome! How do you have the bottom of it attached? That workbench is really cool too.

Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking about doing something like that...using one as a dedicated rabbet/dado cutter. I'd love to find or just make my own low speed pulley assembly for the Delta Milwaukee. Then I'd have that one for metal and the Power King for wood. Haha, I'm glad I have all the space I do...I need to figure out exactly how I want to set up the wood shop portion. I've started drawing it up in Autodesk Inventor on breaks at work, but I have a ways to go.

Haha that's an awesome 1st date story! That makes it really hard to even think about selling when you have so many memories wrapped up in it. My Camaro will be the same way. On my wife and I's first date, we got pulled over as I was taking her home. Apparently I had been exceeding the speed limit a little and then didn't use my turn signal to get off on an exit ramp. My wife still gives me a hard time about that. :lol:

OK you have done it now!! I am going to start following you around to see where you shop for all the great tools!!! I will be the guy in the unmarked car you see behind you!!

I love your full array of buildings!!! I would have them ALL converted to shops of one kind or another--mechanic shop, woodworking shop, blacksmith shop, paint and body shop, a smoke house, brewery, whatever I wanted!! LOL

Your a genius on getting those old tools!!

Looking Good!!

Best Regards
Herb

I love your old 'arn barn. I am jealous for the nostalgic feel of an older place, and the antique tools and equipment are awesome. Unfortunately I've had to start a new 'arn barn thread.
:rocker:
