It started to become an actual shop. I didn’t get a light for years, and even then it was a lantern. Eventually I got better power, lights, and tools. But rain and carpenter ants started to do their worst. I built a replacement shop in 2017, and a week ago yesterday we put the final pieces in the dumpster to haul away. The 144 Workshop is dead. Long live The 144 Workshop.

#flashbackfriday to the early days of what would eventually become The 144 Workshop. This was in 2009-2010 while it was just storage and then started to transition to first a man cave and then a workshop. There is a reason I am posting this today, and the next post will explain why.

If you’re going to work from home, do it in style. PC, 26 consoles, 43” 4K TV. I work hard, and occasionally get to wind down with some games.

Waiting for lumber prices to return to reality to build the desk.

Not powder coat, but that’s okay. Finally primed the bumper braces that attach to the front fenders. They were already starting to surface rust.

The electrical distribution is complete with the addition and wiring of the @lambtekinnovations #blueseasystems winch cutoff switch. At some point I may reroute the leads to it and the #bussmann fuse block, but it’s time to enjoy it for now.

You can also see the vengeance of Atlanta pollen.

It’s a happy #tacotuesday when you get a new addition. This #winch cutoff switch mount is from @lambtekinnovations and is a no-drill solution, and mounts in the stock “beeper” location. Includes a relocation mount for it.

Need to fab a short supply lead, and this thing will be ready to rock.

After twelve years, it was time to fix and upgrade our hall bath. We knew there would be water damage, so I was smart enough to farm this project out. A couple small things to take care of, but what an upgrade.

It’s not only #tacotuesday but also #transformationtuesday as well. Didn’t quite nail the angle.

Finally got what I think is the entire #atari2600 library scraped with the proper metadata. Required a rebuild of #retropie but that’s okay.

It has all come together. New @ss_offroad #slimlinebumper @heiseled 20” bar, and @theoriginalsmittybilt X20 winch. Very happy with how this turned out. Ready to #letsgoplaces now.

Considering a major change to my shop. I think it is time for me to ditch my traditional workbench and go more of a cabinet style with more storage. These cabinets would still allow me to use hand tools. These pics would demonstrate the steps. Going to think about it for a long time and see how my thoughts develop.
