The musings of a cantankerous over the hill greasemonkey who, though already old, is rather old for his age. I'll bust greasy knuckles out in the garage or argue politics with anyone who will stand for it....

Girding For Winter

Made some more progress in my mini workshop/tool room in the barn. I still have the larger bays but this room will have room for the Bridgeport, the South Bend, a seven foot workbench and my handi-lift or a motor stand for bike projects or a car engine rebuild.  photo 3964ea3f1867f6efcd4f6b66645c0085_zpsb9ac2230.jpg  photo 38ffc6bfc92981f441fda300b9c2734a_zps722e88bf.jpg Over time, I partitioned off the room and insulated it in the walls and ceiling. I got the heater fired for the first time Saturday  photo 8b34c7967e7680a4efb10fc494414182_zps04a3f76c.jpg I have had tunes out here but always draped over shit and in the way. Picked up an ultra-chic shelf at goodwill for a buck and got the tunage up out of the way.  photo 2eb3968df020da614c3fe338dc7a1aa3_zps87d6a496.jpg I THINK it will be a nice place to work, but I have confirmed that it's a great place to drink beer and listen to music... :?
