Seen the Trucks, Now Lets See The Shops!

No kidding! That's like 12,000 tool box.

 

[86 slo-vo]

You can see part of it here. 30x40 12ft ceilings and 2 16x10 doors.

One of the mustangs is gone but my svo is still in there along with alot more junk and alot of new tools since those pictures were taken around 2 years ago.

I need to get out there and get it cleaned up and organized again.

Darn I do love a good workshop full of neat old great running bikes!!
My workshop and my two brother-in-laws grazing at the vintage goodies:

Vintage Iron forever!!

I have seen these pictures before.Did you ever post them on the CycleWorld Forums? I spend my time between here and there.

Adsm08 you have too much money. Shop foreman?

Pssh, hardly.

I'm one of our three certified guys, but not the foreman by a long shot.

My wife makes the big bucks.

And for those who didn't see the other thread where I bought that box, the red ones (the top chest at work and the roll cab at home that is not currently pictured) I have owned for a few years. Bought them as a set, used, for $3500.

The orange one I just bought because I desperately needed more space and it was a really good deal. The kind that was too good to turn down. And they gave me $1500 for that gray craftsman set that is in the garage pics.

Oh, and the orange Classic 96 retails for more like 17, with interest and all, I'll end up paying a paying a hair over 14 for it.

I do all my work where I work. I guess i'm pretty lucky.

I work under a tree.

Thats where I have worked for 35 years. Now I have a large slab of concrete that I had put in this summer. enough for the camper, sons Explorer, my RAM, and 2 motorcyles. My tools have to be toted to the cars.

I was taught that "batteries" should be stored at least 2 feet from the concrete floor-

 

[06RangerXLT]

Those battery's are about 20 years old. On their way to being thrown out.

Batteries are fine stored on cement. It used to be bad when the cases were made from a rubber type substance but that hasn't been used for [guessing] 50 or more years. Make sure the top is clean and there won't be much if any self-discharge.

My shop;

This pic before, just outside my shop but still under cover;

and after the roof fell in this spring [April 1 weekend... not funny] after lots of snow;

The before pic is of the area to the left of the white door. I finally got the last bit cleaned up this past week.

I just bought a Classic 76 about 8 months ago.....was retailing for 4800, traded in my pervious Waterloo box and got it for 3800.

Is the 96 really that much more?

Cash them in at local scrap yard @ $5.00 each around here-

Nah, I'm just messing with Heckle and Jeckle who think I make too much. The 96 retails for around 5500. Looking at my papers here I paid about 5450 after trade ins and tax but before interest.

 

[06RangerXLT]

thats alot of money for a box! i got the one i have in my garage for $300. I know, its not snap-on, but its bearing slides and 14 guage. its works for my needs of a small do it yourself garage.
