I'm in the new building and will post some pix as soon as I get the new sign made. Thank you much for your support. OK, let's take a walk around. Watch out and don't fall off the cliff or step in anything. Click on the links to see some compressed JPG's. Let's walk up to the house. It's a hand hewn poplar log cabin from the 1700's that was torn down and put up on this here cliff. Lookin' out the back door you see the yard that leads to the cliffside. Ain't that a gnarly tree? Been hit by lightning many times from the looks. Here's me an' the pups in our woodchoppin' gear. Let's walk on down to the overlook. Hey there's mom! Let's slide on down to the river and jump in the boat. Those are the limestone cliffs that the Kentucky River has cut into my backyard. Woke up one day and there they were! Right across the river from my place is where James Harrod landed his canoe and went south 15 miles to form Harrodsburg, the first permanent Anglo-American settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. I got the high ground because he couldn't get up the cliff!
OK, let's go over to the shop and take a look at some projects I've done and some (newly burnt) stuff. There's a 1948 Ford 8N tractor I rebuilt a few years back (no burn, but close). Over there's a van that I did a complete makeover on. It was white and pretty rough so I put the "Bondo" touch on it and put a new interior in. I built it for me but some guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Let's go into the shop.
Here's my 1980 Sporster project that I built (now toast) as a little curve burner. I ground down the welds and ugly bits from the frame, molded it and shot it blood red. Recognize that paint? I added some hardener to the extra van paint and it looks (looked) good. I set it up on blocks here to check the alignment. Here's a shot with a 4.2 gallon XLH "turtle" tank. Here's some more shots with a stock tank for testing the engine and wiring out. Front angle and rear angle gives you a look at the polished cases and stainless steel button heads everywhere. Well crap, here's a shot of it after the fire. Ouch!
Here's a shot of one of the RT's that was setting too close to the shop! And here's my (fried) boat. One last shot of the remains I had to pull out of the shop. It's kinda artsy looking if you're sadistic.
