This thread over at the Garage Journal Forums shows an impressive transformation of a run-down barn into a serious metalworking/fabrication/welding shop. It's only related to motorcycles tangentially, but I found it fascinating. One seriously talented (and/or determined) dude. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112578

That guy is very talented. I hope he finds a market for his production. My only criticism is that I probably would have refinished the floor first and put a footing in for the mill. But, who knows, he most likely plans on accumulating more machinery and the floor plan will change. Friar thanks for the post.

I love stuff like that. I'm good with metal, but built a bird house once that the city came by and condemned
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
