Re: Somewhere to grind.....
I'd add some ventilation--those things get damn hot during the summertime.
Re: Somewhere to grind.....
Air vents and fans. Only words I got for ya man. Maybe a nice picture here and there... lol jk :P
Re: Somewhere to grind.....
dude that is awesome. Yeah i agree some fans in the top for ventilation would help alot and maybe one a tthe front jsut to circulate it. Hell maybe I cna come out there nad help ya with it.
Re: Somewhere to grind.....
Not bad at all, man. Doesn't really matter that it's bent up.
Get a couple industrial box-fans, agreed - don't know where you live, but if you have snowy/icy winters like we do, I'd suggest getting a couple of barn-door style doors on that thing as well, perhaps some light insulation. And for the summer, I'd recommend painting it white or some other light color.
Re: Somewhere to grind.....

Re: Somewhere to grind.....
those small holes had to be fixed i have a lot of work done but have to get pics uploaded and this is my first worklog of any kind so i am trying to do the best for a first time log.
On a side note i think Vivitar and the battery company are partners lol .
Also i guess you guys saw the big spray painted for sale sign see a lot of the ripping alabamians get is deserved .
it has some heavy duty metal in the floor it will take some grinding to get that weld smoother but grinding wheels are cheap and labors free mine anyway .
it had wood paneling that i hoped to keep some to reuse but was to far gone and lol a joy to remove .
more of the wall.
and you all though the front was bad lol see the daylight throught hte tears
this picture tells the real story when i first looked at this building it had one very very small tear in the corner . When the wrecker driver was finished all those holes were there that corner post was demolished .
The whole back wall was completly torn loose honestly you could push it a good foot to foot and a half away from the base .
I remember setting there thinking it was a loss i mean to most $400 is nothing to me its a small fortune espically in the winter time .
I bought this last novemeber but with low funds work on it when i can my neghibor lol he loves it . That day he was gonna buy it to haul it away and as the wall flapped in the breeze i said do i want to junk it HE.... no Im gonna MOD it so here and so it began .
once again for sale lol
I know you are all going what in the blue He..... is with the wood frame and vent pipe i wondered the same thing the guy told me he was going to make kiln to dry wood to make rocking chairs ......oh ok .
Well you can see the humble beggings i will upload the pics of the progress as soon as i can if nothing happens . BTW any and all comments and tips welcome thanks again all
Re: Somewhere to grind.....
Looks like it will make a pretty neat shop!!
I have been to Alabama in the summer and with as hot as it gets.. I think I would consider one of these instead of the fan!
