The roof and lower doors are installed. I am working on the loft doors. I have found a 4x12 beam for the hay lift. But it is hot and work is slow.

Hi All
Yes, I am glad to get the machines running. I had to order new belts, but other than that they seam to be working good.
I still need to move my locomotive stand in plus I need to make a work table for the 1/8 scale trains.
I dug out one of the projects I was working on when I had to close down, a Bob Shores' Eagle. First chips on my machines in many years.

Here's a panarma of the shop being put to use.
Left to right, Craftman drill press, Jet 8x30 mill, Jet 10x24 lathe, down in the conner is a Craftman air compresser 6" Craftman grinder, Dayton band saw, Oliver die filer it can also be used as a fan stand, Sanford SG1 surface grinder, Atlas 7" shaper, 12" Rockwell disc sander.
On the far wall is a 1/8 scale tank car I am working on. The shelf on the right holds all of the small projects that are in work. In front of the work bench on the right is a 2-1/2" scale C-19 that I am repairing for a friend.

I know that a shop is never big enough. The size was determined by its location on the property. There is a loft the same size for storage. The shop is for working not storage.

Beautiful shop!!!
I will have you know in Florida they slap a foundation down and put block walls up the next day and thats about 95% of all block homes in Florida are built that way. Not saying its right, but thats how they were built back when I was in the block business.

I waited a month before I had the block delivered. It also has a 18x18 bell footer.
