no i need one of them to use at my body shop


i could make a nice brass hammer out of one of them..
i use brass or lead for special kinds of auto body repair. 8)

Painted gold or plated, those brass bars would make some nice sacrificial "gold bars" to keep around for burglars to find if they ever get in. They will grab them and go and hopefully not spend the time to find the real stuff. They will think they hit the jackpot!

Haha, that's a good one, that sure could distract a fella.

You serious about wanting one Slickdogg?

 

[butcher]

My luck they would tell all their riff raff friends where they got them big heavy gold bars and then I would have all kinds of company visiting me.

Aren't we getting a little off topic here, guys? I am as excited as the next guy to see if slickdogg gets his brass or not, but I do come here to get ideas about WORK AREAS! If we only had a place to chew the fat, kind of like a BAR AND GRILL ... lol
Seriously though, I hope to finally get my new shop up and limping in the next couple of weeks and I would like for members to be able to make it to my posts so that I can get the benefit of their input.
Just a thought ...

I've been wanting to make a post like this for awhile, just been pretty busy lately and today's the first day I had some time, so here goes.....

btw, these have electricity in them (for charging the RV batteries....) and the manager doesn't care HOW we build out, as long as we don't attach to the walls or burn the place down!). The only drawback is that we share a 20A service between 5 units and the guy that has the three next to me on the same line is a crate builder, so when he's using his saw and compressor, I have to turn off my heater (or AC, depending on the season!) Oh, they run $250 a month each....

Another thing I really like about working out of a self-storage area is that folks bringing us JUNK have to wait until WE open the gate (and, ergo, until we let them out! - there's a lot to be said about gating systems and security....)


We just took out most of the scrap yesterday and are able to again start organizing (the last three weeks has been BUSY, but then, craigslist blocked my ad..... - has been SLOW for three days now!)


I think I can only attach 4 pics, so more in another post...

 

[MMFJ]

yes, we only got this room about three weeks ago, and in that time, I had to build it out, move in and process all the e-waste.

So far, we have shipped out nearly 500 lbs of boards and over a ton of scrap metal from this 'facility'...


We have a very solid lead with a large generator of e-waste/metals and they are interested in us processing it instead of them sending it out to Arizona! We expect 5-7 gaylords of the stuff each week!

 

[MMFJ]

OK, last post (hey, you guys did want to see work areas, right? I'd sure like to see yours!)

Been in this one about a year, though it was PACKED with so much e-waste, we still are sorting it all out (now that we took on the other room and got it going, maybe we can get to where we can BREATHE!)



Well, that's most of the work area - I have left out pics of the 'hoard' (my collection-o-JUNK that is one day to be refined by some lucky(?) person from this forum - I know it won't be me!), though I have collected a lot of bits-n-pieces, there's only about 20-30 lbs of stuff. I keep all the ceramics I can (10 Pentium Pros hidden away so far), but have to sell some of them now and then to make sure the rent is paid!

OK, time for your comments (Please be kind about the housekeeping!

Oh well, what the hell. A year ago. And that was the day after I cleaned it. I do love buckets.

I don't feel so out of place after that picture. 8)

 

[butcher]

I have all the buckets, and the droplight, and cookware, I just need a roof and nicer table.

GSP you look very happy there amongst the buckets, maybe for Christmas the forum could all pitch in and get you a new shiny bucket with a lid of coarse.

I still think I will wait till I get my roof to show off my buckets in a photo.

You can tell when a man is truly happy in what he is doing.

[Smack]

Some stuff I sorted during winter for processing. I plan on putting up the data for every one when I'm done with them. Will be lots of incinerating

 

[Smack]

One more.

First picture, never seen this before, a bit of corrosion separation I guess. More pic's of some interesting old boards that were in the latest haul of 300lbs. of boards.
