JohnD Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Dave, How do you get anything done with all that neatness???? steveb, With all the neat stuff you have hanging around your shop the thing that caught my eye was the T.P. Quote (rdb):God looked down at the world, and said "See, right there in Witchita, next to the railroad tracks, I didn't put enough dandelions".
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Wow, nearly everyone has mentioned the neatness....guess I am a bit of a bug about that; but it is a small enough room that moving around is impossible when it is messy. As for the beer bottle? I'm a tee totaler....for the last 25 years any way. Dave Quote

Contributing Member Regis Posted October 10, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted October 10, 2007 Hiloboy, "NICE" shop! I see that New Hermes TX(?) engraver sitting on the bench. Are you doing signs or trophys with it? Sold mine a couple years ago (space issue as "sometimes" somethin' has to go). Sister-in-law in Atlanta has one with lots and lots of fonts she wants to sell cuz she's gone computerized.

Members hiloboy Posted October 10, 2007 Members Report Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Thats a ITF hermes that i use with a 1to1 arm . i use it when making my masters. when i hand cut fonts and other designs. i also have a TX hermes i didn't get it in the picture that i use to put my design layouts on most of my jobs .. that way i can size the masters to what ever i'm working on at the time.. then hand engrave all the details work .. i use it when i have alot of the same designs to do ..saves a lot of time.. thanks i just moved into this shop..and i really like it .. i hardly do any signs or trophys.. mostly custom silver and gold and ivory work ..and lots of bike parts starting to come in as of late..but like i tell peaple if it will stand still i will engrave it...

Members Go2Tex Posted October 11, 2007 Members Report Posted October 11, 2007 Sweeeet! Here's my new shop building. It's 24x24 steel. I'm going to insulate it and put up OSB on the wall, and maybe some accustical panel on the ceiling. Quote Brent Tubre email: BCL@ziplinkmail.com
