RayburnGuy Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Lawyers can't get blood from a turnip but maybe they could help me get the pics to come out right LOL Are they turned that way when you look at them on your computer or phone? Whichever one your using to store the pics. Edited October 9, 2014 by RayburnGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 That's a good one Rayburnguy. I'm so tired I couldn't hold my head up straight so it looked normal to me. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSilverFox Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I stay away from the gallery... too hard to access it for me. I'd imagine if they allowed pics to be posted on here in the general area it would increase traffic greatly. It is a big turn off for me to have to cruise different areas looking for things as I'm sure it is for many who never post anything. Not saying i dislike the forum or the rules, just this is 2014 where other forums are like Walmart... everything in one place and easy to find. When people do an Internet search and they see what we are talking about an no pictures, they look elsewhere. As a new member, i am lost when it comes to figuring out what guys are talking about and pics are worth a thousand words... or so they tell me. I'd much rather have several new topics to read or look at than one or two a week. It keeps people interested and coming back for more. Lets face it, we all want to compare our work to others and get better at what we love doing. Even then the little thumbnail pics suck for me... i usually come here on my tablet or phone and they don't work correctly. It's rare i go upstairs to my desktop. I'd say i may get 10 percent if im lucky of what this forum could offer. Like i said, i enjoy it but the experience could be better in my opinion. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes. I'm very appreciative of the info and members here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well here's mine a little cleaner than usualimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg I was confused at first, but then I realized the open space in front of your work area is clean floor! I haven't seen that in my "lair" for a long time. Hahaha I'm sooo jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaw Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 That's new clean floor I just found it myself 2 days before those pictures were taken but I'm sure I'll loose it again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty's Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I wish I could show mine. It's been declared Area 521 and you have to wear pink glasses to walk in the door.

mark poulson Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I heard a saying long ago that seems to apply here. "If you want to get something done, give to a person with a messy desk". I prefer to think of the lack of obvious organization in my shop as just another example of my multi-tasking prowess.

FrogAddict Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 This is my painting/ tinkering station and turner in my basement. The band saw, drill press, and wood lathe are in the heated garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaw Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Great set up frog addict wish my shop had central heat where I wouldn't have to wait an hour or so for my space heater to knock the chill out but it works. Like the syringe in the etex bottle you got going there to I'll have to try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 My garage is unheated, living in SoCal, but it's been in the high 30's the last few nights. Working in fingerless wool gloves is a pain. The wool gets in everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassguy Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Mark I hear you. I know it's not as cold as in some places around the country but it's really cold here. A small heater in the shop turned on for about an hour does the trick. The heater has a built in timer to shut off after 4 hours.

Jaw Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I've got a propane heater I turn on if it's really cold leave it on while I'm inside the house, to knock the chill out then cut on my ceiling mounted shop heater that's controlled by a thermostat then cut the propane heater off. I know during the winter I've got a warmup period to account for and so does my wife ( you've got time to do this or that). I always thought winter was hibernate time who knew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogAddict Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I have a big ole gas heater in my garage. It was costly but last year I had it installed. I think it's supposed to be 20 below here tonight!! Jaw, someone on the forum told me about the syringe trick. It works great!

Jaw Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 20 below wow and I thought I had it bad when it hits the teens. Years ago I worked in Michigan and whenever it got overcast for to long I would pack up and migrate south until the next year I can't imagine 20 below that's about 60 below my comfort zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
