Here are a few pictures taken from inside my shop
-
Looks brand new. Full plumbing facilities? Plywood wall coverings? Still get two cars in there, plus shop space, and a rentable apartment. I had plans for a two story, then an alternative came my way. Looks real nice.

nice variety,is the p&h cast iron?
-
I wish I had the wall space to display even a small percentage of my collection. I have filled all available wall space with storage shelves.
-
nice start, I still see some blank space.
yes, I like the variation.
thanks for sharing, Frank

Thanks john k. I do have it fully plumbed upstairs and a sink and toilet down, the walls are plywood, mostly 3/8 but some 3/4 where I wanted extra support. As far as getting two cars in, I don't think that has ever happened, there always seems to be some project filling up one bay and I have lots of toys, Bobcat,Quads and snowmobiles so the shop is usually fairly crowded with my stuff or friends stuff under repair. I'm about 1/2 hour from the nearest town and I'm one a few around the lake that have a torch and a welder so I get a fair amount of guys dropping by for a quick fix or whatever.
international3414. The P&H sign is cast iron. It came off an old 25 or 30 ton conventional crane that I had worked around for several years back in the early 1970s. I took my first ride on the headace ball on that machine and it scared the hell out of me but at the same time I loved it. The machine broke down In about the mid to late 70's and it was scrapped so I took the sign to remember my first ride on a crane ball.

Brian. I'm at a different location tonight so I can't measure the wrench but I think it's around 18". I'm heading out in the morning for 3 weeks or so but I'll check when I get back.

Redvise. Measured that biggest wrench on my wall and it's 21- 1/8" long.
