Things I don't allow in my shop : People who whine about smoking. People who talk non-stop about shit they know nothing about. Fenders Boyd wheels. People with large stock portfolios who think they impress me and think they can buy my services. People who obsess over which car wax works the best...who gives a damn ?
If you can build race cars you can build hot rods. If i wasnt trying to get my coupe and harley moved soon (grandma is selling the house so no storage) and trying to get farther along on my roadster id for sure run up and lend a hand. I know thats no help but no bull shit if i had the time i would. if you need any verbal help pm me and ill shoot you my number. Im in Jackson so im not that far away. I built my first car a 27t frame and all and never had done a rod before. It worked fine but i did learn some things along the way. Thats actually the fun part.... learning... I remeber one night i was out in the garage swearing at my 30 model a when the wife came in. She said i thought this was supposed to be fun ? I answered it is now go back in the god dam house! Ha Ha.. slow down.. take a break.. then..give r hell.... Dave
whoa! i never said no beer. beer is allowed and often encuraged. as long as it's in a can. if one of those get knocked over or dropped i wont cry over spilled beer. i donnot like broken glass.
I just remembered thr "biggie". Do NOT spit in my shop, sometimes I have to kneel or lay down on the floor, I do not want to roll around in your slobber. Do it once and you will be asked/told to clean it up, do it a second time and you will be removed.
Tools made in Taiwan/China. Don't even waste my time with those. I've found antique tools, made in American back when the made tools like they used to make tools, that were cheaper than the Asian crap in stores today.
Aw man, i almost forgot the worst one! People who chew tobacco, then spit in a can/beer bottle that looks a lot like the one you're drinking out of and then leave it sitting next to the one you're drinking out of. I wish i wasn't speaking from experience about this one.
I couldn't have said it better. Fuck the ASIAN CRAP. If you don't have the nickles for good tools either wait or buy used. Cheap tools are a total waste of money. I can figure out plenty of ways to hurt myself with out the help of cheap tools.
lil neighbor kid types. Climb all over the seats like they were on a jungle jim. I mean.. yeah ok.. I said he could sit in it, but not CLIMB in it. Kid had his fingers pullin and pushin every button, knob, switch, etc before I could get the word STOP outta my mouth. Meant well, I'm just tryin to get the younger generation into old cars, but I guess I should put an age limit on it... like 30 or somethin.
Well, there are a few things that are just not allowed... Yoko Ono Canadian geese brie I'm with Beep, on the elephants, too. Every time the pink elephants show up, the next day the beer fridge is empty. Stupid elephants...
rap music is the major along with ricers, im 17 years old and im glad i never got into that shit. what a relief.haha
I do not have a "shop", which is likely what most of you call your parents 2 car garage, but for the sake of conversation I do have a well equipped garage. This garage/shop is very similar to some of your more respectable Dojo's, in such that NO MERCY is allowed (as well as no shoes). Also no radical muslims are allowed (they just ruin the mood).

LMAO amazing really... around here, most guys have not only drywalled garages, (those i can understand) but i seen one of em sportin fuckin TONGUE AN GROOVE PINE! two part epoxy floors that they fuckin WAX! dartboards, an i am talkin the big ass standup versions... NO BENCHES! some of em even have carpet! ITS A GARAGE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE no smokin, i respect and understand if the door is closed/heat is on. but if a smoker has the brains god gave a goose, he'll ash and toss his butts in an empty beer car. common sense really. its messy. its cluttered. the floor has GREASE and OIL stains. my tools are all where they need to be, and clean. ok, im gonna climb down off my soap box
I share my shop with my old friend, the Pink Panther, he, after being shot in the chest with a 44 mag,living,finding Jesus, does not allow smoking.drinking or cursing in the garage (He said giving up Budwieser was the hardest)..no smoking just being the smart thing to do..also, no belt buckles or floppy handle floor jacks around nice paint jobs, no leaning on cars unless its yer own...
Idiots. Enough said. That includes anyone who doesn't know how to use tools, wants to borrow something, asks stupid questions, and any number of other things I deem will make them idiots. Oh yeah, sometimes it includes me when I do boneheaded things.
?My son is a weldor in a shop that ONLY deals in Aluminum products a guy on night shift brought in something he wanted to sand made of iron their sanding area is like a large spray booth well without saying anything he went into the booth at lunch and started sanding/grinding on some steel which got sucked into the exhaust system and set the whole area on fire!it was an ex military guy who realised that it was a thermite fire!and called it in as such or they would have lost the whole building
I got a new one i just outlawed (HAHAHAHA) Fiberglass i made a trans and driveshaft tunnel a few days ago outta fiberglass for my sedan man im still itchin no more fiberglass
No......a hole is what you make with a hammer! Television, recliners and a bar. I swear some poor bastards don't have lounge rooms in their houses. The number of times people have admired my shed and then said, "All you need now is a TV and some chairs" What the fuck is that about. I can't reach my drill press from a recliner, I can't hear the TV over my grinder and my old fridge works just great. Pete
