Or as Ron White would say, "Ya see one woman naked and you want to see them all naked!"

LOCOMOTIVE SHOP! Oh snap! I work on some decent sized stuff but nothing like no locomotive! How 'bout some of you marine type guys? Ya got some freighter engines maybe some old submarine stuff? Nothing under 18 years old now, I'm not that kind of pervo!

In side pics please. The more the merrier. I always loved trains.

Pics of my "shop" will have to wait. I am planing on building a storage shed this fall when it cools off so I can get a lot of the crap out of the garage. I have a small work area in my garage that is my 'shop'. Right now it's just a mess.

If only I had a "shop" I use my third bay as a workshop and I've just started building a 10 by 4 by 3 storage cupboard/workbench that I hope will remove some of the clutter. Maybe I'll be able to post pic's as I progress.

Shop-O-Steel

Here's the shop I'm working on finishing. These pics were taken Spring '11 while is was being erected. I don't have one of the outside after it was topped out...will get one and some inside as well...it's kind of like a big 33' x 24' steel tent right now since it doesn't have a floor yet. We'll get there someday.

I'm already pulling service and running projects in the thing. Just before Delibes was here, Thing One, his Lovely Bride and I fabbed some steel hanging targets for the pond shooting range (see Delibes' thread post #192) The next unit in the queue is my little Komatsu bulldozer. She needs a waterpump.

I hate that name 'man cave' but this could be one. For winter, I have the biggest wood stove Fisher ever made: the 'Papa Bear'...the SOB must weigh 600lbs. I'll spray foam insulate the building and will have an A/C as well. Probably a little loft/bunk room and a potty too. And, a *****in' sound system.

You know, the place where when the project just really frustrates you, pisses you off or you flat out run out of time/money and have to let it sit for a week (or two) without catching grief from SWMBO about she can't get to the extra freezer.

C'mon, show your stuff! I've got a covered area outside but it's not enclosed so my pics would be like "soft core".
