Nice looking shop you have there

 

[brianpgriset]

here is also some other work and projects i am still working on

This is a full rebuild I also did on a customers motor most of the funds went to the concrete pad

Is that a tab over the KDP I see? Would hate to see that thing fall out!

Cool shop!

Wow. You're really turning that place around. Lots of cool stuff. I'd love to have a mill and lathe someday. Noticed an Alabama sticker on one of your toolboxes. Are you in AL?

I am not in AL. I live in Lynnville TN about 45-50min from Hazel Green AL.
I go there often as I have a turbo shop Hazel Green that I deal with.

Do you do your own machine work for engine rebuilds on the Cummins? Also where do you purchase your rebuild kits?

Jose?

OF Course him and Noah

No I use some machine shops for like boring,crank polishing,valve jobs ETC...
I typically use Enterprise Engine for my rebuild kits. Gasket sets i get them from a guy in Missouri and some small stuff I do myself. I am actually looking for a Rotary broach machine to resurface heads and blocks with,flywheel grinder and clutch setup table. I am also working on a Fire ring Jig out of a old block right now

Started on the Drop Ceiling framing

 

[not enoughsmoke]

got 2 16ft 4in ibeams spliced them together to make a solid 23 ft trolly for the center of the shop for those aggravating time ya need a extra hand

 

[onemanarmy]

so this is a money making garage? what is your specialty, if you have one?

looks like a bit of farming too?

thanks for sharing.

 

[Bighead38]

I put thousands of hours on mine as a kid in the dirt pile. When I was old enough that I didn't really play with it anymore me and my dad "restored" it. I'll never get rid of it. I've given other rinks stuff to my nephews but I'll always have that dozer.

I was doing Diesel mechanic work and some machining on the side when i was home. (I work Offshore)
Now that I got my Engineering degree I make better money I can focus on my own projects. I have way to many to list lol
my dad does the farming Not me.

I hear ya mine needs some fixing up but probably wont get it for a while

 

[not enoughsmoke]

So i removed the old electrical panel installed the new one with the old service till the entire shop is wired then I will tackle the main 200 amp power to the pole. then i finished up the walls with tin and then insulated the ceiling and started installing tin on it as well

 

[not enoughsmoke]

 

[not enoughsmoke]

While all this was going on i also had to have my house roof redone 2 layers of shingles removed and burnished slate tin installed and the back deck was even done to to match

 

[not enoughsmoke]

I also ripped the old fence next to my lean too car port and installed the old tin off the back poach of my home to add some privacy to my clutter
I also bought a Fahrenheit 5000w heater and installed it for the 24x24 shop area i am supper impressed about how well it heats for as small as it is.I also installed my french doors in the tool room and machine shop area to segregate all the sections of my shop. these were also reclaimed out of my old parent's house as you can see the glue is running out of the panes of glass making a mess.They will do for a shop.

All that tin inside looks nice. Very bright.

yea that and easy to clean

 

[not enoughsmoke]

Got some more work done in the shop while home for Christmas and Hopefully i wont get water in my shop any more. I used some tin left over from my roof on my house to Seal the front side of the shop where i have been flooding in with water also had some small tears in the old tin so this fixed it up nice. Got all the welders out (for a project Currently building ) and Made me a stand up Metal saw for cutting small pieces.

Awesome shop and machine's,
Love the Samurai too ! we had an old beater samurai we used on the farm.
Great little trucks !
I saw the rolling 3 drawer roller stool from harbor freight in one of your pics,
let us know how it works out. Ive been wanting to get one of those.

 

[matt_i]

The shop is coming along very very nicely. I admire all of your welders! I am also a "blue guy" as well but older stuff.

I could definitely use one of those "deck on the neck" for the goose!

Thanks , Next I am Planning on Plumbing the shop with air since now i can put my Air compressor outside under my new pad. The welders are awesome when it comes to fab work i am die hard miller man. As for the Trailer this trailer has been in our family since the mid 70's and my brother started building the platform on the neck to haul more Square bales of hay with. For the last 15 years is has been sitting in a barn 10 years with a brush-hog sitting on it and about 5 years with my truck cab on it. lol
