So we've seen the build threads.. we've seen the bikes.. Lets see where they were built!! Little description of what, where.. any cool tools you have in the shop.

My parents own a large shop about 40' x 60' with a full bathroom, office area and upper area. The small office area was not in use so it was perfect for my bike stuff. Built a small wooden bike stand, work bench put in there with my tool box.

The shop has a 220v Clarke EN180 MIG welder that has worked great for everything we've put it through. I recently picked up a multi process Lincoln Electric Invertec 350 Pro from work that wasn't 'worth' fixing. It had apparently went out to some professional Lincoln repair shop and they swore up and down that it wasn't worth repairing because of the cost.. After looking at the schematics all it needed was to have the case grounded.. so a 3" piece of wire fixed that.

The shop is about 30mins away from my apartment so I usually can only get out there on weekends, so my build progess is fairly pretty slow. Currently working on a 72' where I built the rear hardtail section.
