Hello from Florida

[Justin1776]

Hello! My name is Justin and I'm from Florida. I am in my early 20's and finishing up college. I have been a tool and car guy since I was a toddler, I even had my own workbench at my preschool! My dad is professional mechanic since the early 80's and I have been learning from him my whole life. I will be moving out of my college town this year and hopefully moving out of my parents place soon when I can afford to put up a shop of my own . I found this place when looking for garage ideas and designs and have been lurking for about a year and finally decided to start posting. This place rocks!

Welcome Justin to the GJ.

My 29 year-old son has a small auto repair/speed shop in Western Maryland.
He ended up with 90% of all my tools, when I retired from the RR a few years back.

How was the railroad? I've always been fascinated by trains.

Yogi, have any luck with used tools in these parts? I did some pawn shop hunting down on SR 50 on Friday. Godfather Pawn had some good stuff, lot's of construction tools but nothing I need at the moment.
