My Shop/Man Cave in Central Ky

[4StarCstms]

JC - nah it'll probably go over by the door, or above the Electrical panel.

I have some special things to hang on wall above the arch (and part of the reason why there is no storage) I have all of my grandpa's WWII medals (he was @ pearl harbor when it was attacked) along with some special things of dad's (he was killed 1/20/83 by a Drunk driver) and some things from local friends that have been lost to various things (swine flu the most recent)

 

[JC23]

That'll look neat. Good on ya for saving that stuff and making it look good!

I hope you have your Grandad's WWII stuff in a nice sealed frame to protect it from the elements - both natural and your shop work. Ditto for yer Dad's. That kinda stuff is priceless!

 

[4StarCstms]

It is not currently, however before it's put up, it will be. thanks for the

 

[3bay]

Looks good!

 

[4StarCstms]

which is better? I like the one on the left better I think..

 

[SpeedCoach]

I agree, the one on the left.....strikes me as a bit brighter.

 

[JC23]

Any special significance of the colors? I ask cuz you're mixing warm and cold colors and they might be fighting each other. Just off the top of my pointed head, try replacing that orange with a med or slightly dark blue and see what you like.

On the other hand, you can do the same thing by replacing the gray with a like shade of cream.

Either way, three color schemes are bitchin'!!!

 

[go_n_low88]

you drive for a living, right? Come pick me up, I am free labor, I have a drywall lift that you can have and I'd love to visit and help cook for the BBQ

Scott, the place is coming along great (as usual) nice updates

Hi both 4starCstms and Hit-By-Thunder,

I have a couple questions about the potlights you have installed in your overhead areas (arch) , storage shelf.

1. Hit-By-Thunder are all the pot lights wired on one electrical run and operate off 1 switch? Same for you 4starCstms?

2. What kind of breaker did you use at your panel to run these lights (15amp)?

Sorry for the newbie electrical questions as anything electrician is new to me but i'm a quick learner and can usually figure it out.. I know Google would probably tell me but I thought I would ask you guys first hand.

Thanks,
Parrish

The one on the left is visually more appealing to me. Looks like a Harley theme?

Careful... JC will have you painting Martha Stewart flowers and wall paper borders, and potpouri

Ol Breeze oughta know about Marthy Stew-rat colors.

She's his Sugar Mommy and that's the only kind of paint he uses!

And as far as all that other stuff he mentioned - whatever that stuff is - he's got it in his garage.

 

[Firefighter315]

Definitely the left Scott. You were right about the wide black stripe being too dark. Can't wait to see the final results! Are you workin' on a Harley theme or is that just coincidence?

 

[MartyO]

Go left young man!!!

 

[donhd04]

definately left side.

 

[4StarCstms]

Not a harley theme. Just like the Orange / black Combo. Im partial to orange and black color Combo.

Its Kinda a tribute to my last truck,

and I'll be adding the same orange to my current Super Duty, kinda like the HD edition but different. They did a Orange/Black or a Silver/black but not a orange Silver Combo ... So I'm gonna do one, with some Black Pinstriping to divide the two

 

[Karnage]

which is better? I like the one on the left better I think..

The one on the left, but a lighter grey.

 

[4StarCstms]

I agree, Ill grab a lighter gray when I go to do the painting.. The one on the left it is.. Thanks all!

 

[On Edge]

I agree too I like the one on the left. I really like the color scheme. Should turn out real sharp.

not to steal from the thread each set has 5 or 6 lights for each 15 amp breaker. I have 3 seperate circuits adding the lights to 16 recessed lights each circuit is controlled by a switch.

sorry Scott for my question in your build thread.

As for the paint scheme, the one on the left is really really nice. 10 outta 10

I love stopping by your thread to watch the updates, thanks for inspiring me too

Rob, its comments like yours that keep me motivated. It seems like its a never ending process, but It's getting there I guess.

You are/were on FTW were'nt ya??

 

[lonestarky]

Like to see this. I'm in Georgetown, KY. Looks like things are coming along really well for you.

I prefer the paint scheme on the left as well. I think it has to do with the fact that you're using the red as an accent, rather than the black.

I'll look the other way on that truck being a Ford, other than that it's fairly handsome.

I may have just missed it, how many amp electrical service do you have?

 

[4StarCstms]

100 Amp Service - the outlets are into four blocks, so I'm never more than a couple steps away from a different circuit.

Thanks for the Comments. Be glad to see warm weather, to finish the drywall

You are/were on FTW were'nt ya??

why yes I was a few years back, Had my 2000 F350 dually, then my 2001 (still have) F150 7700 "Harley" gold with the black flames and now another 2003 7700 F150. See, the Fords runs deep into my blood.

I also read you have your Grandpa's and special things from your late Dad. Really amazing and good on ya for having a special place for them. I too have just acquired my late father's service metals and all his Canadian Forces plaques/pictures/and posters. Have a memorial Airborne Tatoo on my right forearm, this way dad is still with me everyday, and think of him everyday.

ok enough of that stuff,......

where are your updated pictures, do you need me to come down there. Frig, into the 60's for a temperture man that would be nice

Rob/HBT <--my sign off at FTW

 

[4StarCstms]

I'm fixin to redo my 04 F250 into a Harley ... Silver and Orange thou ... gotta be different.
Actually its the Low 70's today .. haha

No updated pictures - No money, No time, Got projects that Have to get done, like refurbing the mower deck off my 75 Wheel Horse ... I've rebuilt this thing twice now, Think I'm gonna give up and just build a new one ... Got BBQ festival coming up the 16th that I'm trying to get ready for as well...

Tax money should be here next week and I'm gonna pickup the last bits I need to finish the drywall and maybe even get the paint ...

Thought I remembered ya from FTW, thou I usually hung out in the Pre Forum being at the time all my rides were Pre's ... Small World eh?

 

[lonestarky]

Unfortunately, I agree with you, gotta get the mower deck done. I had to cut my grass for the first time yesterday. It was 80 today. We're both into the season now...

 

[4StarCstms]

Yup. Mine is really gonna need cut now with this rain and the coming sun...

 

[JC23]

Cuttin' grass??? Isn't that what ya do when winter is over and spring comes?

We ain't got that up here, yet. Talk to me in late May...

 

[4StarCstms]

And yet you CHOOSE to live there ... I always thought you were a bit touched in the head ...

 

[JC23]

Yeah, but we got FOUR REAL SEASONS on the deal...

 

[4StarCstms]

Yeah, two weeks of Spring, a week of Summer, three of Fall and FORTY SIX of winter ...

 

[Call me the Breeze]

C'mon Scott... We get 4 weeks of summer!

 

[MSRTom]

I'm late to the party, but it's looking great so far. I like the left panel as well, but I would love to see the orange/black switched, but keeping the same stripe widths.

It's all about what you think looks best, though. Either way, it will be a suitable tribute to your truck.

Keep up the great work!

 

[Jesse476]

Any updated pics Scott. Did you get the place painted? Really like the ideas you incorporated.

 

[4StarCstms]

Thanks! I'm sorry to say that I am not really any farther along. Thou there is a fair bit of my blood splattered over my S/O toolbox and a bit on the floor.

Money has been pretty tight this year, I got hurt back in May (pictures and story to follow) and had to be off work, so that has put me behind and it's been since then trying to catch up - and I've still got another weeks pay to go before I'm caught up ... Ugh this year has stunk money wise ... I'm a full 10k under what I'd made by this point last year. The good news is I've been making a few pieces of furniture, but thats all gone to help play catch up...

My hand got caught in my drill press. I was using a Circle Cutter (not something I use very often) and had my hand in the wrong place when I flipped on the power. ended up with 13 stitches, and if it'd been a 1/4 more towards my thumb, I'd have lost the finger at the knuckle.

Sorry no BEFORE stitches Pics, but I did drive myself to the hospital ... and my truck is a manual!

 

[4StarCstms]

I did do a couple night pictures last weekend. Needs more drywall. .. haha but as you can see, no progress I'm sad to report.

 

[JC23]

You ain't zoomin' anybody with that bogus drill press story, 4 Play. We know for a fact you were pickin' yer nose while sittin' at a red light and got rear ended.

Glad you're doing OK.

 

[4StarCstms]

I need to take a current photo of the hand. It looks better but its a helluva scar. I get comments from people all the time ... lol

 

[JC23]

Just tell the chicks you got it on a secret mission that you can't talk about for 25 years.

 

[4StarCstms]

there ya go ...

here it is all healed

 

[4StarCstms]

Got a bit of storage items taken care of. I'm sick of having to move the stereo and never knowing where my friggin clamps are ...

 

[JC23]

Attaboy! Keep diggin'!
