16 is alot to build. I think I would get tired of the whole thing after a while, but if you enjoy it, glad you can build them. They look great.

Those are super nice looking chests! Guess I'm a real piker as only built two so far. Not a big family and Grandson's aren't getting married.
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!

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

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 .

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 
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.

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.

Not I! I do not wish to scare impressionable young children nor incite women to riot!
