Deer were in the front yard yesterday eating the new grass under the snow. :)

[Daniel Houwer]

That's really something Steve!
It looks great.

[Barry Lee Hands]

Looks great!

[Sam]

Thats really nice steve, but having that much room will only make you buy more stuff to fill it up. That couch looks really comfortable too. I'm glad i don't have one of those, I'd never get anything done:)

[stefan albert]

Hello Steve .

It looks great. :whoo[1]:

Stefan

[WVEngraver]

Steve, is that piece of round bar stock at the bottom of the window the swivel mount attachment for the new 50 BMG venison emulsification system?

[leroytwohawks]

Steve, I see you have that Corvette rolled in the shop, all ready to engrave.:biggrin[1]: The place looks great:thumb[1]:

Kevin

[Willem Parel]

Steve, i know you are still alive and kicking but this must be heaven.....

[Tim Wells]

The ECHO in that place must be deafening. Hey, fire that Vette up in there and see how mean it sounds, just be careful with those rocker arms....

[MCMLXX]

Killer Shop! Awesome d

[ron]

hey Steve .. that looks great , I am glad to see you made room for the vett. now that the shop is finished when do the classes start .. sign me up .. Ron p

[Dakota Kid]

Hi Steve,

The shop looks super, congratulations!!! great layout and design. and looking out the window it's just like Minnesota...

Take Care,
Chris

[plat955]

I know where I'm going on vacation next year! Lindsay Land! LOL :thumb[1]:

[Steve Lindsay]

Chris, you're right. How did you guess? lol

The vette in the kitchen is temporary while the machines are being moved in. I am thinking about a pool table should be set there after the vette is rolled out. I need to practice my pool game if I'm going to beat Paul Hamler in a game. Ron, when the upstairs room is ready, okay on lessons. How about this? Engraving lessons are free if you can beat me at a game of pool. That won't take much; just ask Paul!

Hey Sam, that couch is an important tool in the shop. :)

[rbaptiste]

Nice building Steve.
Congratulations

[Phil Coggan]

Excellent Steve....do you think it will be big enough! :biggrin[1]:

Phil

[jlseymour]

Congratulation!!!
Looks great...
Want be to long before you will need more room...
Jerry

[jack]

Looks like a great shop Steve. Where the hell is the airplane? HAHAHAHAHA Alot of work but it will be a great place to do your stuff. Jack

[Steve Shepherd]

Hi Steve

Looks Great! Now you will have room to make those 2 man palm controls for engraving large scale.
I have an extra garage if you need to get the Vette out of the kitchen:biggrin[1]:

[Peter]

Looks absolutely FANTASTIC Steve. You have got some incredible machinery.

If you need someone to practice your pool game with....I volunteer. From what I hear Mr. Hamler is quite accomplished....but he isn't getting any younger:biggrin[1]: Neither am I and my best pool has probably been played long ago....but I like to try!

Peter

[Tom McArdle]

looks great Steve! Congratulations!

Love the sweet little belt driven lathe...

Take care,

Tom

:)

[Tim Wells]

Me too Tom, I'm gonna talk him outta that cataract lathe one of these days or just go to the auction when he gets too old and feeble to use it...:pop2[1]:

[joseph engraver]

Congratulations to you Steve,your vision has become a reality.:cheers2[1]:

[Roger Henrichs]

Hi Steve,
Looks empty... now you need to buy more stuff. Quite a difference from your old shop. The inside looks good...now how about posting a couple of pictures of the outside.

Roger

[JRon]

Steve, your building looks awesom! You need to take the window shot of the deer , crop and make a wallhanger from it. Beautiful view.
all the best and have a great holiday season,
JR

[gravalance]

Another congratulations! Nice machine-park and great building! (If this sofa is an important tool for you, maybe you should start selling these, too :) If that helps you to work like you do, I'd order one straight away!)
Enjoy the space!
Hanne

[Archie Woodworth]

Steve,
Great shop and classroom...
So when does class start? However, with "Big Blue" in the classroom, you might have some attention issues with the students :biggrin[1]:
Regards,
Archie

[SEngraver]

Hi Steve,
That is an amazing workshop.It is coming on great and will soon start rolling tools ! Invites for the opening with return tickets are gladly accepted.

[Danny C]

That belt driven machine - does the belt come off and power that thingy in the back with outstretched arms with pulleys on it. It must be something to see just a flappin away and the belt a runnin and all
hahahaha


Very nice place Steve

Hello Steve,
Amazing space you have there for a workshop/class room!

One thing I do not understand though. For engraving, all you
need is something like this corner seen in the picture above.
What is all the big machinery for?

We have a thread going on the BladeForums on workshop pictures,
would be great if you post pictures of your new workspace
for everyone to feel the "WOW" kind of feeling I got when seeing
this thread...

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)

[Eric Showalter]

awe inspiring!

[Andy]

Wow Steve!........It looks like a machinery museum lol

[mrthe]

Incredible Steve! and the Corvette is amazing!

[pedroito]

Congratulations Steve,
we need to see the facilities completed and give approval :thumb[1]:

[Steve Lindsay]

Thanks mrthe and pedroito. The facilites won't be complete until the pool table is finished. lol I picked up an old cool one but it is another project. I have it apart to refinish the wood. :)

Here is a thread with photos of the old shop that had less room to work.

Awsome workshop Steve. It looks way too clean though.

All those years of playing in pool leagues and I am too far away from you to get free lessons. Knowing my luck, you are probably a hustler and I would end up paying for lessons.

Beautiful car. I think I may be having pangs of jealousy.

Ian

[KMazur]

This looks really good. Plenty of room for a lot of work. Congratulations.

[Ralph Nunziata]

Steve,
WOW, I love the machine shop and that nice little belt driven turret lathe.
Big boy toys forever!!!!
Best Regards,

We all need a 10 car garage, still park our cars in the street.

[mrthe]

Hey!!!! where is the Chevy? :)

[Steve Lindsay]

Mrthe, I have your chevy hiding next to the garage door for a quick escape for you when you visit. :) Here are pics of how the upstairs is coming. Found the old pool table on craigslist in Omaha and I refinished it. While working on it I discover it is still made. http://www.porterandsons.com/table_la_piedra.html

ohhh what great news for me ........the Chevy is mine? :hurray[1]:
Beautyfull Pool table!!! when i will visit you to the workshop maybe we can do A game,are you a good player?
Thank you for the new photos amazing like ever ;)

[Steve Lindsay]

Tim Wells was going to get the car but since valve rocker came loose when he was here driving it, he therefore doesn't get it. lol So it must be yours. Hey, maybe we can play a pool game and see if you win the car. :biggrin[1]:

[mrthe]

hey i like the idea of the pool game for win the Chevy ....but the problem will be if i lose, only i have a bike to offer to you hahaha
Talking about super cars..... have you finally finished your Super Jeep project?

[Jeff Miller]

That is the cleanest machine shop I've ever seen,looks great! ...you've got some nice machines,they don't make 'em like they used to!

[Tim Wells]

I figured if the little blue vette couldn't hold itself together it would never make the trip back home, so I told Steve to just let someone else get the chance to rook him out of it. Perhaps in a friendly (or not) game of 8 ball...

Watch the side pipe getting out of it; been there, done that, got the scar to prove it..

Hi Tim,

You should have not said about the side exhaust pipes,those are the special fittings to deter and stop people taking the car away.
If they take it away they hesitate to come out till the police come ! :smilielol5[1]:

The workshop is really very nice, it really an asset to have and we will see great tools made there.
The pool table and gym are good too.I can play snooker don't know about pool....
Where the Bar, the Milkshake and ice cream counters ?

I bet you you forgot to do them .

God Bless the new Workshop.

A praise worthy achievement for Steve L

[Steve Lindsay]

Thanks Jeffro! You're right. That don't build them like they used to. There are pics during the restoring of the shaper project here (http://lindsayengraving.com/tour/shaper/index.html)

Tim, Oh..that is right.. you left leg skin on the side pipe! That hurts.. ouch!! Also it was hard to scrub your skin off the pipe. :)
I replaced that rocker nut that broke. I'm sure since you gave the car a checkout testing drive and so Mrthe can make it all the way to Spain without it breaking. lol

Mrthe, I'm sure you'd win the pool game! :) The Jeep project should be close to finished in another week.

Thanks MO! If you're good at snooker then you'd be fantastic at pool! Yes, need to add some furniture yet or even better as you say.. an ice-cream bar in the room. lol

[Jeff Miller]

Steve nice job on the restoration's,they all look fantastic!...when you started up the shaper hope it didn't meow or smell like apple pie :) .

[Herpolsheimer]

Hey Steve. I haven't been here on the forum in quite a while. I am making a return here though. That is a great shop, although the original had a cozy feel to it, what with all those vintage machines so lovingly restored. I really liked your updates of the cincinnati restorations. As I recall, you used spray cans on the Monarch. Did you use them on the big mill and shaper as well?
