I live in KS and have been looking on here for a while. I joined to look at some pictures and have decided to contribute (mostly dumb questions, probably).
As far as biggish tools, I have a few that might interest people:
Generac 6590 pressure washer, Forney 130FI (306) wire feed with flux core (gas in the future) welder, Echo CS-400 chainsaw, Echo PAS-225VP Trimmer/Edger kit, Iron Horse IHD6160V1 11.2 CFM@90PSI air compressor, Ingersoll Rand Impact & Ratchet kit 2317G
I use the pressure washer on a regular basis. The welder gets used less frequently as I am still learning and need to run a dedicated electric outlet (upcoming soon). Though, I did just buy a Metal Man auto-darkening helmet, from Tractor Supply-it's FANTASTIC! The other tools are used, as needed, but not as much as I'd like.
My "welding table" was given to me by a good friend who runs a small motor/fabrication/metal shop behind his house. He is the shop of last resort, as he calls it. Even the local dealerships and custom shops bring stuff to him, when they're stumped.
It's a 24"X14"X5/8" steel plate with cutouts from a small, portable crane he built and decided he needed a flatter/stronger piece, for honing. The holes actually work really well, for holding stuff down.
A standalone table will happen, someday. Even then, I'll probably bring this over to use.
As mentioned in the 1/2" Black Pipe Air Line thread, I am going to build a cart for my air reel, air tools, and extra hoses.
Here's some pictures of my work area, before the black pipe install and while organizing.
There's another work bench, to the left, where the air drop comes down on the bench.
