Must Have Shop Items

[bigtiller]

No more overextending and back bending for THIS old guy. I deliberately keep my back straight, engage my core and SQUAT down to pick up stuff.

Gotta work those legs and glutes to minimize hip injuries.

Yep, I do 50 squats every morning for just that reason.
But I only do 10 crunches. I need to up number that some.

Most important thing in my shop is a full compliment of curse words. I’m not talking the cliff notes version here, I’m talking the three inch thick volume with words you didn’t even know existed! :laughing:

Let's see if I can bait Big Barn into this part..... Don't tell him.....

Hey Terry (Big Barn), give me a "ballpark" guess as to how many dollars in tools/machines you have in your shop???

Now, I am envious. I have never been able to afford a decent vise and you have a fine crop.:thumbsup:

Problem is there aren稚 any decent vices out there. There all cast garbage from China. I spent 2 weeks researching it. No USA made units anymore. No forged vices, only cast.

Thankfully, I no longer need a Great vise. Any heavy duty work I will just take to a machine shop. At almost 70, it is time to be a little less self sufficient. I have done everything myself up until now and it's time to take life a little easier.

It would take me a month to inventory my little shop and I bet I would be shocked to know what it all adds up to! I suppose I should for insurance/theft reasons.

One can get lost in Big Barn's shop(s)!

Way to go . Crunches are too hard on my back. I prefer various other core exercises.

When you see discontinued MADE IN USA tools you have to GRAB them.

Here’s a few of the brand new 160 pound Reed vises I got a little carried away with buying.
