That image has me howling! How the hell am I supposed to fall asleep now!
It's just past 9 your time. What're you doing heading for sleepy town?

How to clean up the shop?.......
Bring home an old friend.
This was the machine tool that started it all... It's an old 17" Rockwell Delta that I bought about 20 years ago. It has a mt2 taper in the quill, but with the 1750 rpm motor it was just too fast for metal work. I have since picked up a 3 phase 1140 rpm motor and a vfd for it and I think I am going to be happy with it again.
In order to fit it in I had to move the old tool and cutter grinder to the back of the shop, which in turn required locating the floor again.... After a few hours I managed to find it.

Now if you drop by, we can see what my floor is made of (after a couple of days work, of course)!And just to prove to @Dabbler that the shop floor is indeed concrete.......
That 89 six cylinder was a beast and IMHO the best engine those Jeeps ever had.

You need a bigger shop and more floor. Very nice set of gear though.
LOL. That caught my eye, too.
Uh-huh. And after the photo was taken, you covered it all back up so you could close the door, didn't ya?

Once I ditched the factory carburetor and ignition it perked right up and has been very reliable, it is a little bit cold blooded though now that the intake manifold isn't heated, but once it is warmed up it smooths right out....
And mine!
