Shop Swap?
 

Wondering if some of you guys might be interested in trying something different?:scratch: Here is my idea! If we can get maybe 10 guys.....anyone who is interested in putting everyones name in a hat and pairing up some weekend at one guys shop or another to spend a few hours turning some plugs, sharing some ideas, techniques and then we can post a thread here and everyone can see how we all made out?? Might be fun?? After Christmas?? Any thoughts? We can try to pair guys who live close to each other? RI guys, Jersey guys, Mass. guys? What do you think??:devil2:

How about a little street Cred for the CT guys,,,,,:uhuh::uhuh: I would be up for that,,, but I have to get my butt in gear on this dust collection system,,,,

You know what I mean! Do I have to list all 48 contiguous states??:rotf2:

Sounds like a tailgate party at Larry's house....:rotf2::rotf2:

No, but you might have at least mentioned some of the Commonwealths, like Kentucky :smash: :grins::rotf2:

Jigman

I can't believe I forgot Kentucky??!!!:smash: And Indiana.....can't forget Indiana or Bernzy will be giving me crap!!!:rotf2:

Nah, Bernzy is busy on kitchen remodeling duty. Probably wont see the light of the cave for a while yet. Cant even paint the cabinets in a nice bunker pattern :wall: I ll share my cave with him sometime this winter :uhuh:

Good idea. Thats a great chance to see other builders tricks and ways.

we dont have to share everything,,,,, do we,,,:confused::confused:

Just the good stuff!

i paint my plugs in make shift booth in my basement........which is only 4 feet high, so I use a kids computer chair to roll myself around, it kind of sucks but i stand up 12 to 14 hours a day in a hot kitchen, so its nice to sit down.

i think it would be great idea though.

i would love to see airbrush techinques as im just starting out with them, spray cans for me. prof m was nice enough to invite me up and show me around, if i can get away from the restaurant long enough i will take you up on the offer.

If by "Shop" you mean cold damp garage w/6" sawdust on the floor and tools scattered everywhere... I'm in!

I wanna swap my shop for Salty's.

:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

OK, I'm in. My shop is 20' x 22' and it is fully equipped with about any tool you would need, two lathes, table saw, band saw, belt,disc and oscillating spindle sanders, planer, drill press and more! Been working on this dream shop for many years.



Oh, but I forgot. My wife has taken over 20 x 16 of it for storage:doh:

Sounds interesting. I have learned a lot of great tricks going to other peoples shops. I wold love to see some of the jigs gadgets people have to make building easier.

You will have to sign a nondisclosure agreement before entering the Lu cave.:hidin:

agreed.. I have been a victim of that, and seen others reduced to that as well... :uhuh: :jump1:

yep! doc said those pink spots will fade away in about a year..told him I hope he was wrong and headed to get another dose soon..what a trip:beat:

Can I get Lu tools if I sign the agreement.

If shes got long black flowing hair and a good pair of tarr-tarrs and the only english shes knows is "u likely boom boom":rotf2:

5 dolla......:biglaugh:

:cool:HOt pink in 3d..tx god for my hiddin vid recorder in the old button trick last time, you cost me money revampin my shop after the last go round.:hee:

ok,, now your doing it to me,,,,,,, 2x2 6 fters,,,, those going up on the site,,, ????

OK I'm in :rotf2:

last Saturday Professor M. and I spent the afternoon in my shop, talking ( and turning) darter designs, swaping jig ideas and talking dust collection, as well looking (and laughing) at some of my early ventures.. it was nice to have someone to "talk shop" with.. I'd be up for few visitors after the holidays...
