 Nice to hear from you Bob, I remember you too..

Ok, heres a directory I set up on my ISP:

http://webpages.cha­rter.net/zarwerks/mi­sc/mancave/

The pics may not be in any particular order. Just click on them one at
a time, then hit your back button and select the next one.

I moved last summer, bought a new house about 45 mins from my old one.
No one big reason for moving, but lots of small ones. The house had a 2
car garage attached, and a 2 car detached garage. Of course I was all
over that!!!

So the building was a "bare stud walls" building. Last year, I built 22
ft. of work benches, custom storage drawers, shelves. Installed my big
old fat compressor from my old house in the corner. Ran copper air
lines up and over to the work bench, adding "pull down" air (always
wanted that...!) along the way. An air tap outside the shop lets me do
pressure blasting from a pressure pop (sand blasting) out in the woods
off the yard.

The lower 4' of the walls are painted plywood, the upper 5' drywall.

In Dec, I installed a 100K BTU Ruud furnace I got from an HVAC
contractor ($200). Cost me $700 to have an underground nat gas line
installed to it. But that thing is the bomb! Work in a T shirt out
there when it is 9 degrees outside! I will drywall the ceiling this summer.

Part of the deal for the '51 standard sunroof (an "11E") I bought in '02
was to remove a '52 standard that had had the roof cut off and was
behind this guy's barn for 26 years. Needless to say it was QUITE
rusty. The dash was perforated in a few places, but I couldn't just
throw a split dash away.

So I endeavored to make some "wall art" out if it and after welding an
angle iron frame behind it, mounted it over the door in my shop. My
vintage friends donated all kinds of stuff it needed, including some
tattered split glove boxes. One buddy of mine even drove by with a
birds nest!

I gutted an old split pod clock and engineered a battery operated
movement in there, so it keeps "real" time. I can even change the
battery without taking the whole thing down off the wall. The steering
wheel spins, and notice that everything on the dash is basically cracked
or broken. The plate below it it is the body number and ID plate from
that car. VERY rusty.

The fridge from the old house is in there, stocked with a wide selection
of beer, and I have cable and high speed internet wired out there as
well. Stereo of course, and Black Beauty and glass bead blasting cabinets.

Life is good, I can't complain. Haven't done much on the '51 yet, both
the '50 and '57 will need some minor repairs before spring/summer
driving season. Zarwerks has kept me pretty busy, but "funds" my hobby
well.

Anyway, enjoy the pics, y'all be good. Nice to hear back from you guys,
thanks for the kind words!

 Top ones are 1x4s, bottoms 1x6s. Had a friend who makes furniture
rabbit the corners for me. 100lb rated ball bearing full extension
slides (HD, about $27/pr It think). Sides are grooved about 1/2" from
the bottoms. The bottoms are 1/8" masonite, but it must be screwed to
the "1 by" cross dividers or it will sag.

They are fantastic for storing tools, etc. mine are a full 2' deep and
42' wide (I think). Had some shallower ones in my old place, had to
replace them... with twice as many and bigger ones.

I found some U channel aluminum extrusion at McMaster (.com) and made
the barces for the slip in cross dividers that are 1/4" masonite. Look
close, you can see them in one of the pics.

John, what is the box under the cabinet top with the analog meters on it?
Is that a stereo?
