Is that a Datsun 280z?


Cutting oil is my blood.

Hi,
it’s a 68 Triumph GT6, was a late friend’s vintage race car. I bought it from his widow. I got the frame done and painted, piles of extra parts gathered, then my young sons discovered little league, then First Robotics. Restoration halted for a decade.

Hence your name.

I crewed for my friends who raced a GT6 in SCCA San Francisco region GT-3. Lots of good times wrenching on that car

Yep. Time goes by so fast.

My Small Shop

I thought I'd give folks an idea of what a small shop looks like – 290 SF may sound OK, but as you can see, almost 200 SF is dedicated to utilities, storage & walkways, so there is only a little more than 90 SF of actual work & machine space. I do have my 2" x 42" & 4" x 36" belt sanders in the garage, but on a mobile cart so they only take up 6 SF. You can click on the layout & photos to see them larger:



Photos (from the labelled viewpoints on the floor plan):

Aisle 1



Small Repair Work Desk



Mini Lathe Bench



Mini Mill



Electronics & Vise Bench



Band Saws



Vacuum Cart



Arbor Presses, Model Tools & Hardware



Surface Plate



Aisle 2; I could have skipped this one, but it completes the circle and gives you an idea of how tight things are (and another reason I lost weight last year)

It seems to have gotten unbelievably fast.
