OK, my turn
This is definitely a work in progress (going on 7 years now!). Right now there is not a lot of woodworking going on, although I did build a ramp off the back porch for my mother last night.
My barn, 40 x 20' (roughly), uninsulated tin building with concrete floor. This building started life as a fish hatchery for trout and sat over a concrete pad below a spring. It was later moved to where it is now, about 100 yards from the spring (or less) and turned into a hay barn, then storage. When I convinced my parents to not tear it down and let me use it, I cleaned it out, scraped the floor to some semblance of level with a little skid loader and poured a concrete floor in 2 seperate pours. The intent was to give me a place to store my Fiat parts inventory and work on my convertibles. Now the woodworking stuff is gradually taking over.

Once I get done reassembling my "new" 510 and get everything aligned and tuned, then there will be a general cleaning and reorganizing. Hopefully, it will look a lot more like a wood shop. So, please, consider these the "before" pictures!

]Pictures lie
It's not nearly as big as it looks in the pictures. However, I have thought about building walls around the perimeter so I could insulate, but then I'd have to put in a ceiling and that just seems like more than I'm willing to do.charlese wrote:Ben,your shop looks like a lot of fun!:) And no end to possibilities, or varieties of work with all of your interests . Ever given thought to walling off separate areas? [However, that may be limiting]

aye, there's the rub...
In order to make room for the woodshop, I had to pull my blu3 '69 Spider out of the barn. This car is about 99% original and just haven't had time to get it running again. It has been in covered storage for the past 20-30 years and is my dream project if I ever get back into the cars. Meanwhile, I have it's twin (the one with the white hardtop (that comes off)) that I drive but it is in rough shape. Still, can pull the top and cruise if it ever gets warm enough for long enough.spiderclimber wrote:The shop looks good. It definitely takes time to put one together. Just keep the weather off the machines and the cars and you should be fine
Probably will build a lean-to shed along the back of the barn to store the cars since I also have 4 more shells up in a field along with 2 Simcas.
