You’re looking at it...I prefer to be in the great wide open. Or it could be that’s the best I’m able to do at the moment :)

I’m currently building an actual shop on my property with a 2-post lift that’ll have A/C, bathroom, kitchen and 14’ roll up doors. So I’m about to be a spoiled little brat, haha

You mf :rofl:

Once I've determined a final resting place for myself, I'll build a big ol shop.

Alot of people that know me say "the money you've put into that k5 alone could've paid for a shop"

And I say yes, a nice 40x50, BUT, I may move, and then I can't take it with me, so.....



:flipthebird: that


I've got the keys to a full blown machine shop right down the driveway.

I've got every single tool I need and a big beefy welder in my she shed, AC inside, a fridge, a TV, a nice chair, a desk.

I'm content for now.

Here's dis.

While I don't own the machine shop down the driveway, we have 3 wire EDM's, a lathe, 2 cnc milling machines, 1 manual mill, heat treat furnaces and 3 surface grinders.
2 automatic, 1 manual.

I'm set for now :cool:


I brought 240v, 100a out there to the SHE SHED myself, wired up all the light fixtures, recepticles, sub panel and disconnect.

Everything is 120 except the welder plug.
It's a nice healthy 60 amp, 240v


Or maybe it was higher amps? Idk. :think:

I'm drunk. :drunk:

Ask tomorrow when my head is clear. :crazy:

Well, don't have no big fancy shop and don't need one. This is about as good as it gets! If it's something I don't need the hoist for then I just pull it in the carport. 1st pic was beginning construction.:cheers:
