Time to add some details.

Here I have added a gasoline sign behind the drill press and a hanging rope on the shelf.

A tool box for bench on the back wall.

I have to be careful with car stuff. There were very few if any manufacturer stickers, decals, etc. in 1957.

Here is an interesting building session.

I wanted to make a mop in a bucket. That sounds simple. Get a bucket add some bunched up string at the bottom and put a stick in it.

Well, I started playing around with the stick and string and I came up with a decent looking mop.

I could not waste this nice mop by sticking it in a bucket. So i decided to have it leaning up against a wall.

I soaked it in white glue and water.

I made a jig to hold it in place while the glue dried.

The glue is dried. Now I have a leaning mop.

Cranky:

The mop has to be up against the wall, it's designed that way. LOL

And that is how I would store it. Especially on a wood floor.

Good eye my friend, the handle was too large (thick). So I replaced it with a scale correct handle.

And I increased the puddle for Dan.

Thank you for your input guys !!!!!

Jim, it's coming together nicely. The broom handle looks a little thick to me. And I think you should display it with the mop on the floor in a puddle of gunk/goo . . . I think it'd be more interesting that way. Next to a grimy bucket, of course. KUTGW.
