Next we found a working 1946 Philco refrigerator, and I knew it was perfect for the shop!

Then a good friend of mine started petitioning tool manufacturers and telling them my story. I received several care packages. We also decided that a proper bench should be 16ft, and set about extending it. Alex got a new toolbox too.

Here’s the exterior sign my boys are working on. It’ll be on a dusk till dawn sensor. The divider bar in the back has 4' of green LED on top and 4' of white on the bottom.
Oh and it’s 84” x40” |

Re: The new Ole Sarge Customs shop
That is a great space. I know you are happy

Re: The new Ole Sarge Customs shop
When I say that we have "closed”, we merely went from being a business to an active hobby until such time as we can employ a full time work force.

Re: The new Ole Sarge Customs shop
We’re also taking bids to extend the shop another 10', making it 30x80. Moving that useless side door to the front and an 8x10 Office just left of the man door.

A man can never have too much covered space, especially if you are into automobiles.
Looking fantastic. |
