Ok... So this is my dads shop.. not mine.... But its worth showing off.... He collects old gas engines and tractors as well as tons of other stuff...

I figured that is enough for one post :wink:

Does your dad come up to the Fair for the steam engine exhibit?


Yeah, He has done the State fair several times and brought up his big Avery tractor.. Does a display at the Twin Falls county fair every year...
 
WOW, Larry He has an amazing collection, I see some of the best Tractor signs ever on his walls, amongst everything else. I guess we all see where you get it from. I see LOTS of good trading material on those walls???

Yeah... He would kill me :wink:

The sad part is all the "good" stuff is either in the basement of the house or tucked away... This is just out at the "Barn" He also has a Museum display in Buhl (The Rusty Engine Museum http://rustyengines.com/ )and a permanent engine display in Brooks Oregon at the Antique powerland
 
It looked like this last year in Grand Forks, ND.

My new garage is smaller, so I had to take 2 feet off my workbench to make it fit. 3 different projects going on all the time.

Looking the other way. We just moved in, so all the extra junk and boxes get relegated to my area:

Larry, Looks great, Looks like you got all the bases covered for restoration work. Nice Shop
 
I already showed my garage, but I forgot to mention how I made my workbench. I only had 18 inches of width to work with in my 1 car garage, so I used a kit from Lowe's, called 2x4 basics, to make this. It is for shelving, but I made it into a bike workbench. I just adjusted the spacing and added a 4x8 sheet of pegboard, just as it was. I was able to take it apart, cut 2 feet off the 2x4s, to fit in my new garage. I didn't use treated lumber because it is indoors, so I didn't spend a whole lot on it and I've got a lot more room to hang stuff than the ready made workbenchs.

I had my tools on a wall in the shed, but since the shed is not heated everything started to rust and rot away...nowadays I keep most of my tools in the attic - not the most practical of places, but at least my tools are safe :mrgreen:

That's all the room I got folks ! My Kronan is under a motorcover in the back yard, and my Locomotief I have here at work. I might just start sanding it down, still have a few hours of nightshift left...
 
Some pictures of my garage and the reason I my cars sit outside! The exterior shot is before the paint and trim were done. The building was a apartment when we bought our house. I converted it into a garage. The great thing about that is it has heat, water and sewer! I may never have to leave it!

Dad and I tore down a barn from 1901 to build this workshop in my back yard and a patio to match.

The 2 * 8 beams were 29 feet long and the two doors you see used to be one door and 2 feet higher just to give you an idea of the size of the barn we had access to
 
VooDoo,
I Love It, I could sit outside of that for hours and think about projects I should be working on, Rick

Freakin killer lil building.... I love it! Someday Id like to build something like that around my home town of Buhl Idaho... a half mile off the main road back in a corn field someplace... No house there just my little spot where I can go tinker, drink my coffee and ponder the good life...

Someday...
