BF, how did my gloves get into DaBarn? I thought I was the only one who uses gloves that far beyond their life expectancy. :lol_hitti

Looking around the things you post from your lil party garage I'm seeing A LOT of new trinkets that you failed to brag about
SOOO I think it's time for a wall to wall tour of your spread!!! (PLEASE)
That stamp machine is a nice addition and you made it look great with a little elbow grease

I too received a nice package from HJ. And it had a stamp vending machine. Super Job by Harley Jim for helping out a couple of GJ folks. So do tell what did you use to clean yours up! It came out very nice!

I just rubbed it out with some Meguiares Gold Class.


I think you got your money's worth out of the gloves!

Jon

My wife came out in the barn the other day and saw me wearing those old gloves and said I looked pitiful 🤣

Tony, your sign blank reminded me of a sign from my youth.

Great idea with the Kent sign :cool:

Those gloves were worse than wearing none, I was excited working in the barn today with the new ones (y)

Thanks for visit! I will try to get some new shots of "The Little Party Garage" posted soon!

I'm excited to see how your new Michelin Man compressor comes out! Awesome find 👍



I'm on a new mission, I want to collect one license plate from each of the 50 states to hang in my attached garage,
I have five already.

Alaska
Alabama
Indiana
Georgia
Washington


I have three extra Indiana plates if anyone would like to trade for one state that I don't have or I would buy one from anybody that has a state that I need.

I'll look at what I have and make you smile Are you interested in any particular years?

Don

That would be awesome! any year of plate will do, I just had the thought of putting one from each state together would be a fun challenge, Thanks.

Tony,
I have AZ and WA plates I would be happy to send your way.
Scott

Scott

You already sent me a Washington plate a couple of years back, think it was for the Garage Journal secret Santa exchange? I would love to have the Arizona plate though :D


I'll send you an ORE plate....

LynnW

Lynn

That would be awesome! I will PM you my address, I need to figure out how to pay all you guys back!!!

I also have CO and NM.

Scott

Those two plates would be awesome too! Let me know how much you have in the shipping?


Thanks for the mequiares info. How would a 1962 Ohio tag fit? PM me an address

Bugnut

You need to post a pick of your stamp machine all cleaned up! Do you have any other coin operated machines? I have always had a big interest in the old coin op machines.

The Ohio plate would be a welcome gift to my new collection, that's older than me :LOL:

Tony, I don't collect license plates but I have a couple of Florida plates. PM me your address and the style you prefer (05 or 15), I'll send you one.

The 05 one looks pretty cool! Thanks a million! I owe you one :unsure:


I received this bar clamp set from a Garage Journal member a long time ago, I finally decided to take the time to finish them off, I spent a bunch of time today drilling these things out and sanding them down, after a quick coat of orange paint I will have a nice set of 48" bar clamps :cool:

Happy to send it your way. I hung all 48 states of sample plates in the men's bathroom in the party garage
Your garage should look great when you get them all hung. We want to see it buddy.

new signs looks great so far. best of luck figuring out what to put on them. the one with the cast iron stand looks a lot like a NO PARKING or Parking for BEARS FANS ONLY.

shout out to Jim for sending you a nice old stamp machine and OMG you made it it look brand new too. WELL DONE!!

when I checked on your thread earlier it didn't show all the posts about all this license plate collecting. sorry i've never collected them, but i've saved a couple recently that I took off my own cars cause i sometimes need the aluminum and Washington is now making us buy new plates every 2 years. it looks like you have plenty of Washington and looks like you'll have 50 states soon at the pace the GJ members are sending you some.

Big shout out to GJ members and of course BF you deserve these cause you are always taking the time to show us how you make or restore a ton of interesting stuff and you are a great guy too (probably cause you married a great gal).

good luck on finding room to hang all these license plates.
