16) Time out, garage time

So at the time of these photos, it was getting cold, and I was finally fed up with working at sub freezing conditions. The garage that I rent is not heated, and the space was just too big to heat, without shelling out $1,000's of dough. So I built this "box" around my entire operation. Best part is that I can store tons of stuff on top! Now I've got a nice little space to heat. I bought one of those vent-free propane heater, which works great!

5) Some tools to start

This is one handy welder!! Just a 115volt so that I can use it at the shop. It's perfect for welding thin sheet metal, and also very handy for thicker stuff too! (Later on I get into fabricating some custom parts using angle iron, square stock and thick sheet metal)

This is my home made sandblasting cabinet. I have this habit of really cheaping out on somethings when I could have just bought it instead and saved a million hours of work. But hey, it was fun, and this thing is functional! I'm using it with my 40lb pressure blaster. Yes those are jean legs sewed to gloves! And yes that's the uber cheap cardboard door option! : )
