Glad to see you are keeping busy. Always interesting to have more than one project going at a time, when you get tired of one, you can shift to a different one. Looks like you have an Enco mill in your shop. I just bought one for my small shop.

Good luck on your many projects!

Bob

Finally!!!...a shop that looks like mine!....I don’t know how people get anything done in these places that look so neat clean....Mark

Great video Ron, keep plugging away, one of these days I'll make the hour and a half trip to your place and have you sign my copy of your book.

Ol' Ron · 03-12-2018, 09:05 AM

ypu guys can thank my youngest Granson for this. I can't figger out Movie maker on this computer, and asked him for help so I could send it to friends. So he did this in a few seconds. I hope to have a clean up day soon, lost my dog in there a week ago.

Awesome, Ron. This video is like taking a peak into Tesla's lab.

JSeery · 03-12-2018, 10:08 AM

Love your garage and projects Ron!

Ol' Ron · 03-12-2018, 10:19 AM

On March 17 1986 I took my last rink, so I had to find something else to get
addicted to.

Congratulations Ron! However, I do find it appropriate that it was on St. Patrick's Day.

Cecil/WV · 03-12-2018, 01:17 PM

Looks like you have as many jobs, although different, than when I was there in 2013.

Bulligen · 03-12-2018, 10:23 PM

I am sure your grandkids are very proud of you!

Ol' Ron · 03-12-2018, 11:11 PM

Yes, I love my family and friends. I wouldn't be here if God didn't give them to me, one day I asked him for help, I guess he did. Now I have to pay it back, so I try to help others, At 84 11/12, I might not have time to finish all this, but that's not up to me.
Take care and Keep em runnin.

fortyfords · 03-13-2018, 05:51 AM

Thanks Ron, I enjoyed that.

FirstGenF2 · 03-13-2018, 09:41 AM

I only hope that one day i know half as much about old cars as you.

Ol' Ron · 03-13-2018, 05:45 PM

I learned by making mistakes, Boy did I make allot of them. Right now I'm on my third front cross member, but I think this one will work

Don W/Norfolk · 03-14-2018, 08:08 AM

Ron,
Thanks for the tour! You give me hope. Maybe, someday I'll get all my projects finished. Ha! dw

Ol' Ron · 03-14-2018, 05:44 PM

I have a system, You must have at least 3 or mor projects in the works at all times, or you get frustrate, The frustration comes when you get stumped with the project your working on. However if you have another project, you can work on that one until l you get frustrated. Now you can either go back to the first project or start a new one. This keeps the frustration to a minimum.

Step-down · 03-14-2018, 08:01 PM

Ron I enjoyed your up front and personal video. IM very quiet on the Barn as I don't have the tect. Back ground to really contribute . I have to say every time I see your name on the Barn I enjoy reading and listening want you have to say .
Thanks again for sharing . I built a home many years ago out side of Benington Vt. Had to sell and move .
Still dream about those summer nights ....
