rjR Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 A.K. wanted shop pictures; so here are some! Yes, It is a disorganized mess. I can still find/work etc. I have NEVER seen a SUPER-Neat shop that actually accomplished ANYTHING! I have worked a few metal fab shops and even plastic manufacturing; reasonably clear usually made production easier than always everything AWAY!

rjR Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Well IT must look a lot bigger than it is! I do love the shop sink though! It is not tiny; but really not big either. Trying to handle a full sheet of plywood gets interesting. I also really like my lights that I can move around easily for more light on saw or drillpress when needed. I have a vise on the same table as the drillpress and sometimes aim both lights there when doing some fitting with a file.

Ron Johnson Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Good day Ralph Very nice looking shop. Well set up with great lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I love it, You have all the toys I'd like to play with. Ah the joys of having a shop! Shut the phone ringer off, Hang a gone fishing sign on the front door and zone out with some quality shop time. Nothing better than self gratification, creating something from nothing! Thanks for accommodating my request so quickly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multifasited Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 That floor ,wouldn't look like that in my shop , You must take great pains to keep it that way ,my concrete floor catches hell ! I love your lighting ,but I don't think I want your power bill ,What goes on behind the ply wood ? You have interesting cabinet door handles . Well enough about being nosey ,your shop produces some neat stuff ,Later !Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefie Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Great looking shop there, I have trouble handling a half sheet of ply in mine, couldn't fit a full one in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I don't think I should reply on my own post again; but, I HAVE TOO! Some of these people should zoom their computer screens some more. LOL or get checked on something! The clock is MINNIE Mouse! NOT Mickey; has not worked for years, but, I will not throw it away! How many Minnie Mouse clocks are around? The wood shop is a loft in son's RV garage. The floor is a pergo type stuff that we inherited. the ceiling lighting is the " take a week to come on FL type bulbs-- but eventually usually about 10 minutes -- they give nice light. The scrollsaw light and drill press light are on holed platforms and have stems so they move around to give a lot of light when really needed. Santa Clause (I should take better care of. He is cloth, cotton , leather, felt and some ribbon --- pasted onto a paper cutout in 1966. I should take him down again and preserve him. I had him out to help me design a template to make some wooden ones. The cabinet door handles are real wrenches. I welded them up and then used the same jig to mount them I used to make them. It was mdf board scrap. I had used a gluing clamp to hold the bolts in place on the jig. Tack welded - removed and then finished the welding. They were my son's idea(HIS HOUSE-SHOP- some of his tools some of mine) --but they were my wrenches. Used 1/4inch bolts about 2-2-1/2 in long and 2 nuts. One ran down to the shoulder then the one on the inside of the doors. I think I answered every question. Oh. forgot to mention this is a second level shop; has a boat underneath it! I think I covered all questions; but, if not just ASK! wombatie and Multifasited 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multifasited Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 You still keep the floor fantastic ,being on the second floor helps keep out a lot of things that get into a ground floor shop ,w/o a lift of some sort , Boat below ,I thought may be those were grow lite s passed the ply wood barrier . Thanks for not being offended by all the nosey questions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ralph, It won't be too long before I am going to be able to get to your house and take a personal tour of your shop and to get to meet you and hopefully, your family too. You have a lot of great things going for you there in Aloha. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
