I love this truck!! I hope I get the opportunity to do some interior work in it!

Just caught up on your thread. AWESOME!! Shop threads are my favorite. I'm GJ as well, but I prefer this forum to GJ in general!

Good buddy picks up stools when he comes across them. This one had no seat, so I made one. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3iKAavdLDus/U7rzyRG3luI/AAAAAAAAHtE/sirY3lhkx4c/s800/IMG_8099.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fXaFOPGZ-qs/U7rzzB6mavI/AAAAAAAAHtM/5qx9nwe3vEU/s800/IMG_8101.jpg https ...

Looks like you've made yourself at home. How do you like the HF box? Looks like a 44" from here. I was thinking about picking up a pair for the home shop but was curious about how they hold up. My initial impressions were that they were pretty decent for the money. For the money they can't be beat ...

This shows the completed, painted trim on the opening. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6poWBrZzNCE/U7rxcpAZ7pI/AAAAAAAAHqA/WwqPilEFVSM/s800/IMG_7734.jpg I fixed this porch swing up for a buddy's wife. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mb583xWMjGM/U7rzedLvtrI/AAAAAAAAHqc/gj7X15pKUtQ/s800/IMG_7936 ...

It was the mule that moved and built the shop for the first 8 months!

such a good rig!

What Mikey said.. I am a meter and relay technician - I work in the electrical utility industry testing and calibrating protective relays and meters. The shop keeps me from losing my mind out here. I really like the idea of having a bbq at the shop. Wondering what when to do it so I can get some ...

I've always been a bit of a craigslist hound. I have a pretty good recipe for buying stuff used to stock the shop. In tooling up the wood shop I went to tri-citites to pick this guy up. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ajOyHmLF3KI/UdnDXwu-b9I/AAAAAAAAHec/MtCAXAOTLhI/s800/IMG_7742.jpg One thing ...

I'm in Tri-Cities.

I'm in Grand Coulee. Been wanting to have a small bbq/get together at my shop. I'm just a bit apprehensive having a bunch of strangers in the shop..

Bandsaws? I guess that's not the oddest fetish I've ever heard of :oops: . I'll be needing a complete interior for my '35 pickup within the year (hopefully). Just standard/traditional hotrod style. Think you might be interested? Ahh man. I did a headliner/back wall in a '34 truck last year ...

Proud to be the first buyer of Klotz's belt grinder. I use it all the time! https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Z_Z50Vaoibk/Udm8O_rFF_I/AAAAAAAAHc8/LOexuUhgzZo/s800/IMG_7609.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4Qr8JRm0vvs/Udm8PeArQBI/AAAAAAAAHdE/nG8sypgM6dM/s800/IMG_7610.jpg The wall between the ...

The sketch helps. I imagined it about like that but the hallway you removed was throwing me off. Looks like a really useable layout. And great tip about painting the ceiling. I am not finished with the remodel/painting project. The center wall needs to be covered and painted. I also need to put a ...

After the electrical was sorted out and the painting project was complete, I started setting up to do upholstery. This is my upholstery/sewing table. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rpKdIQeSSgE/Udm5fhYyadI/AAAAAAAAHb4/fCDAkNijWCI/s800/IMG_7172.jpg I have always wanted to fill my shop will old ...

This is a sketch I just drew to help make sense of it all. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AzNJcljME7M/Udm3xTJmgsI/AAAAAAAAHbo/KVojawQwbfM/s800/IMG_8010.jpg The space is 50' x 50' split down the middle. Part of one side belongs to the adjacent business and is walled off. I have about 2200 sq ft ...

Along the way I decided I wanted to have very little, if any, unifinished building materials in the shop. It looks much more professional when things are painted vs. exposed OSB or drywall. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-J5zg5-MmWCA/UHHhRW_1nRI/AAAAAAAAG18/nHEYR7gaTvA/s800/IMG_6488.jpg It is a ...

It took a while to sort out what to do next. When I moved in there was a room that I planned to put my woodworking tools in. I want a separate room to control the dust, etc. This is what I started with. The room is 12' wide x 20' deep. The hallway is 4' wide. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com ...

I went back to Portland to tie up some loose ends and pick up few things the next weekend.. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GCgk2Q6ohI0/UdmdpewwD5I/AAAAAAAAHXc/VFM_blQt1jA/s800/IMG_6421.jpg The little truck made many trips loaded to the gills hauling stuff to the shop. It was a good friend in ...

I moved out to central WA a year ago to take my dream job. I'm in a really small community. About 3000 people. Nearest stop light is about 60 miles away. You get the idea. Part of my plan when I moved here was to pursue my upholstery business in my off time. I need something to do or I'll hate it ...
