Excellent work as always, Gary! WC1

Thanks everybody. Finished a project today, Not "Z" related" but a needed addition to the shop. Monday I went to an open house & ended up buying a hot laminator. NO MORE HAND LAMINATING, OH BOY.

LQQKs like it won't be here 'til Monday now [it was spoz' to be here tomorrow, Friday], but I'm ready Ann E. Thyme.

Tore the old cabinets out. They'd gotten wet from leaky bottles of anti freeze & car products over the years & were about done for Ann E. Weigh.
This deal laminates the print & also applies the print to any substrate 1" thick or less, so I needed to put it in a place where there's plenty of room to work. The tired old cabinets in the garage seemed like the best spot.


Since I'm short on space I built the frame out of some angle Iron & Square tubing I had in the shop. Nice & strong & takes up minimal space on the sides. Oh, BTW, those are the old cabinets I'm usin' as paint stands.


The back wall was a little beat up from the old cabinets, so I used some vinyl I printed a long time ago & didn't want to throw out. Never know when that stuff might come in handy. It was a quick way to clean it up. Reused the counter top. The outlets that were above the counter top are just right for the laminator.



All done. I put sweeps on the bottom of the doors to keep the dust out for when I use the leaf blower........I mean the broom to clean the garage.

Couple closer shots of the doors. I used the same eagle I put on the window print on the truck.



Thought I'd throw the truck in there too, just because I can.


All that's left is to wait for the crew to bring the new unit. Whenever that might be.

Nice place to store all the Racing stuff, Slicks for Jeff's caah, wench, tie downs & hardware for the trailer to covert it from Geves hauler to caah hauler, few lawn chairs.

Wow. Super nice, Gary! bp

Great job Gary.

One always needs a good place to store a wench

Eye' should have said Winch.



Wench is another room altogether.


....................And NO Jean eye' don't have pics. ........

Oh, but you really do.

"GOT PICS" Jean.........but not the kind you migh be LQQKin' for.......

Turns out the machine I was waiting for these last few days doesn't exist in any warehouses around here.
So I got an upgrade to the bigger model.

Good news, it works like a champ & is going to make life much easier.




Bad news, the cabinet is too small for the bigger unit so it's back to the drawing board. Doors will become wall art somewhere. :dontknow: :BangHead:

Good news, framework is steel so I can just add on to that.

Since the fridge had to go, I'm going to build a closet on the end with the space that's left to keep laminator tools & an inventory of laminates.


Looks like I'll be blowin' another Saturday on building a cabinet.

Looking good Gary. Now get busy.
