You're welcome on the update. I don't consider it a museum because I play in it. I consider it more of a vacation spot, playpen, paradise, heaven, happy place, and workshop. Sometimes I just sit and relax and enjoy the environment. I have friends that come to visit and don't want to leave.What a great shop or is it a museum! And thanks for up-dating us with some new build photos.
Ok, that’s usually what I use on my old machinery. Looks good and holds up niceJeff,
Yup, fold-out hid-a-bed and full bath (shower).
Yup, mini fridge.
Nope, no microwave.
You'll have to refresh your memory. Here is a link to the photos. Bear in mind they are outdated, but you'll get the full picture. Study them carefully.
Lets See Your Shop!
Here is my very cluttered Shop. It gets better, but then its gets worse. This is somewhere towards worse. Too many projects going on.. As nice as all y'alls shops are, I'll bet you dont have one of these. Would you believe my friend's wife made him throw it out? :D Wish I knew the...www.hobby-machinist.com
I am using single stage acrylic enamel.
Looking good. I feel you on the priming and sanding. In the process of restoring a Harris 618 surface grinder and that’s pretty much all I have been doingStill working on it.
Lots of priming and sanding. Hopefully more painting today.

Got a quick question and I’m not sure who to ask. I see that you deal with single stage enamel a good bit on your gas pumps so maybe you will have some insight. Have you ever dealt with enamel clear coat? About to try it for the first timeStill working on it.

I guess I haven't yet found the need to use enamel clear. Sorry, can't help.Got a quick question and I’m not sure who to ask.

That’s fine. I usually get pretty good gloss without. Just had one piece turn out a little dullI guess I haven't yet found the need to use enamel clear. Sorry, can't help.
You can try using rubbing compound. I had a Chrysler New Yorker before I got my Camaro, it was old and dull. I went to work on it with compound. My neighbor saw me and said you can't rub out enamel. Then he looked at the area I just finished (trunk) , and he was dumbfounded.That’s fine. I usually get pretty good gloss without. Just had one piece turn out a little dull
