thnx guys !!

 

yesterday i made a welder table with vice ... the top is made of aluminum sheet and bend in one piece to get thick edges ..

legs are styrene ...all rusted up .... made that so i could use it to pile up parts and tools and make the empty space there filled and detailed .. started with a blower and scoop and some hub caps and mic. parts .. would be cool to ad more smalls later ..

thnx !

left .. hmm some small stuff like diagrams / papers .... maybe some bigger car parts they work on..

lighting .. i know ususally you do that first but i have a space under the whole floor to run wires and its easy to put them where i want .. problem is i have to read into those led's and the resistants they need and how much leds with what ...etc ..

finally finish the outside walls so it looks nice..

idea was to cut stone brick from corck sheets .. but its such a massive job and that for only a outside that needs to look a bit presentable .. since its more of a watchbox dio (?) and not a realistic building ..

so maybe some sheets on the outside will work and are so much less work ..

I can not believe how accurately you have captured every aspect of this shop, the wood, the wear, the grime, the tools. It reminds me of a machine shop in town, and also the shop that I worked at for over 20 years. Excellent work! I've always wanted to do this myself, but have never got around to it.

thnx brian !! much apriciated :) and well maybe its time just start one .. begin small and maybe do a certain earea ... like a workbench space with room for one car .. one thing is for sure its so much fun to do .. for me at this point even more so then a car build :) 

 

my printer is dead so i really need to buy a new one .. i still had 2 boxes and a flyer and just added them

 

mooneyes + socal speedshop packaging boxed and a printed indian motorcycle flyer added ..

btw the lugnut wrench thing was one that came with a car kit .. i drilled it open so it would fot over a lug nut (lol) 

bit rough looking but 2 are real close up shots
