Got alota great input from the crowd - including some key inspiration from you!
Much appreciated!
Will continue to detail out bits here and there - but it's a working shop now.
Official - cause I put a coffee machine and fridge in.
🙂
Looking forward to hosting any who wanna drop in next month - just prior to Rides of March!

I'm assuming you can rustle up one of these? if so, I'll bring the train case with the good stuff but somebody else has to play selector.

Cool digs. A couple things come to mind: 1) no couch to chill on with a cold one while looking at your planning blackboard trying to figure out what you wrote on it last night at 1 am in the morning. 2) Hope you have a hella security system - cameras, alarms, goliath locks, etc....

Couch: there is a plan - and amazon is involved. It's "multi use" and a bit more understated - but should be good. stay tuned.
Security: Good thought.
The place I'm in has cameras - and is remarkably safe - but the amount of low level crimes and theft everywhere is a real thing. I'm also going to install my own security - and those details and pics will remain un-filmed...
The only other thing I can do is buy good insurance... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're getting a futon??? Just because it looks like you *could* live there doesn't mean you should.

you'll need it when you're in dutch with the mrs. for buying one too many projects!

the shop will provide a safe haven, you just curl up under the welding blanket and use a torch to heat up ramen and coffee...

Sadly definitely a Flyers fan, have Ron Hextall's autograph tattooed on my leg. Had him sign it and went to my friends shop right after. The look on his face when asked was worth it. They're friggin terrible right now though.

Wow! The place just keeps getting cleaner and cleaner. Nothing some swarf, some oil stains, and maybe a burnout or two won't fix, though.
