Wow Plastikosmd!You have the best of both worlds in your shop.That looks like any guys dream cave.Whats wrong with the little dozer?A friend of mine had one but the transmission went out of it.When it ran it would really push.

Thx! just a basement shop and my garage, the basement is a bit more of a dream now that we needed a new fridge upstairs, the wife donated the old one to the basement. I will lose 1/2 the garage soon due to the wife wantin to not clean snow off her car...women.
Get it back in the spring tho!

Crawler also had a tranny issue, no big deal, stripped keyway and needed clutches. I had the clutch plates fabricated and runs like a top now, tho have not used it in a year after clearing some paths so prob. headed to Ebay.

I don't know if this is a man cave, I just call it the big shop but it's where most of my stuff is at.

Here is the small shop, where I've been doing all my powder coating for the last couple years.
The spray booth with home made filtration system.

Office area with the fridge, TV, gunsafe, desk, computer and work table.

Blasting area (with old blaster). I vent through the wall what makes it through the filters from the blaster and the PC booth.

Here's one with the old blaster beside the new blaster. The big cabinet made frames much much easier.

I'm in the process of moving all the powder coating equipment down into the big shop and the small shop will be just for storage then. The upgrades to the powder coating shop will be a 100 gallon B17 stripping tank, 8X8X20 curing oven, 10X8X24 down draft spray booth and leasing a shipping container that will house the blasting room. I've been looking at 50 to 75 HP stand alone compressors, hoping to find one that runs on propane. That would let me heat the shop, fire the big oven and run the blaster out of 1 central tank. The way I'm planning to do it is build through the wall for the big oven and spray booth and part the container in front of the extra roll up door and that way the new stuff wouldn't take away from my 1500sf shop I have now.

that its quite the set up you have their dksix. you have some nice toys their lol. I wish my man cave had that kinda stuff. i just got a little garage right now.

[plastikosmd]

Gantry is handy. Old as heck, all the bolts are square heads on it.
