Photos of my little backyard shop

[SickVette]

Someone pointed out to me that it is hard to be taken seriously when I say "my shop in the backyard". So here are a few pics to let you guys know I mean business...lol.

nice stuff, looks a little un organized, but I also am just seeing pictures of it..

Sorry forgot something....shop is usually not that big of a mess. Pictures were taken while in the middle of a couple of very large projects. As you can proably tell I do nearly everything in house. Paint,fiberglass,cabinets,machining,TIG and MIG welding....CNC and my new paint booth should be here soon.

dam man, nice home shop,

u just do it for fun, or buisness?

[URBANRCR]

very nice .

[SickVette]

Business. Mostly I build display units for other stores and companies. I have been doing alot for Stinger lately. But I will build nearly anything.

Yeah shop is a mess but it is actually very organized just hard to tell from the pictures. Anyone ever need something just shot me a PM.

Sweet. I can't wait to have a garage where I can have a little shop of my own. Do you do metal fab/welding as well?

[TIM TIM TIM]

it is a VERY nice set up though.. i didnt mean it in a rude way, just a mess but being in projects is a damn good explanation lol

[SickVette]

TIM TIM TIM....I did not take it as being rude.

TBSpyder....yes I do metal fab as well. I still need a few more tools for metal work but I do not have the space at the moment. I am expanding the shop from 1500 sq ft to 2000 in the few months. Then I can bring in a shear, a brake, and a lathe.

AHHH i didnt think I'd ever have to see those cabinets again

[integralsgreen]

im shure osha would find somthin to bitch about ...but i cant. looks like a fairly well stocked/equipt shop. btw where do you paint? looks like you have a good collection of paint guns

[SickVette]

I was using a temp paint booth...you can see the curtains attached to the ceiling. I am building a 10X16 paint booth soon. Or I use a friend of mines booth from time to time.

wtf a kicker L7 I thought U had better taste than that ;)

[SickVette]

Take a closer look at that sub...there is no magnet on it. I am eventually going to make it into a sink for another shop.

You do welding?

[SickVette]

Yes Mig and Tig....stainless, mild steel, galvanized (which sucks) and alumium. Is there something you need done?

[integralsgreen]

yea galvanised metal sux ass to weld. i had a vertical plug weld explode on my arm when i was taking my icar mig welding certification test. left me some good burn scars on my arm.

Yeah, not sure to what extent you could/would do...but, right now I just need a pair of "T" brackets out of something like 1/4" steel to mount a rear bumper on my Jeep (current ones bent while yanking someone out of a mud hole). I'm sure it'd be very simple, probably a 15 min. job. But I'm also considering some other work as well...ie, rocker guards and a roll cage.

[SickVette]

We can take a look at it sometime. I am one tool short from being able to build a roll cage and I have been dying to get it. Could be a good reason to.
