We have 2 2-car garages. We park the cars out in the weather. One garage is our storage shed and the other is my shop.
I know my shop is a mess, but it is mine (well it is probably really the banks)
I have a plethora of unique items that have sentimntal value.
- Hand planes
- Block plane
- Smoothing plane
- Jack plane
- Dado plane
- Storage box (orange and old)
- Mitre saw and frame
- Numerous combination wrenches
- Crosscut saw
- Keyhole saw
- Ball/ping hammers
- 4 pound sledge hammer
I also have some new and abused equipment.
- A drill press with a broken press collar (I sill use it anyway since the collar is now glued on)
- A table saw that the drive pulley wabbles and walkes off the shaft
- An 18" bandsaw (that works fairly well)
- An old junker lathe that the motor starter does not work so you have to hand start it
- A wirefeed welder
- An oxyacetylene torch
- A concrete mixer
And I have a large welding table on casters (too heavy and the casters are too small diameter)
The pressure washer died yesterday :^(
I have a box full of hand tools that I phenagled from Brian. I should give them back to him some day. I have three boxes of drill bits of various sizes and qualities. There are numerous other lillte (and big) items, like screws and bolts and rods and pipes and bars.
I have not been using my shop nearly as much as I should or should want to use it.
I have made a few things while we have lived here.
- Hall table
- Couch table
- Frame for bathroom stool
- Cradle
- 4 smokers (one mine)
- Some wood boxes
- Another hall table
- A trunk
- Handcarts
- Firewood
I'm guessing you're not going to be bored after retirement. I'm impressed, but I bet I'd be even more impressed if I knew what half of your listed tools were. Making things is a lost art--glad to see you're keeping it alive!
ReplyDeleteUnless Jeanette is begging for one, I'd give up on the waterbed. I think they are kind of creepy.
It does not do me much good now. I use it not nearly enough. I should be in the process of finishing up the projects that have been started over the years.
