I am about 50 hours into paint removal on the Vette and needed to take a break from the monotony

I wanted to reclaim the corner in my garage where all of my welding stuff is housed. Not shown in this picture was the four sheets of concrete backer board on the floor, etc. to be able to weld in there.. it really just wasn't practical.

I have a storage shed in the back yard where I store Christmas decorations, etc. One end of it was only used to push the lawn mower in... so I decided to move the welding out there. Lined it with sheet metal and ran some new wiring, and good to go. I even siliconed around my outlets so an errant spark wouldn't get down inside the wall. It's a little tight on space, but I think it will work out just fine.

Looks great and it sure keeps the garage a lot cleaner. I've used my sandblaster inside once, never again ... I'm glad my blaster is portable (bench-top).
Nice welder :thumbs:

Nice shop. My garage looks like a storage area for crap.

Mine was heading that direction.. had to take the bull by the horns. I wish my skills matched my machines, but I am learning...

My big goal now, is to be able to work on my Vette project in terms of sanding, etc. without tons of dust since the garage is attached to the house... just bought this setup.. will report on how well it works.

Well, the regular shop vac is going to belch a lot of dust back out, but would still be better than just letting the dust fly. The Oneida Dust Deputy is looking like a better solution than the bucket of water deal though... video is impressive anyway.

I bit on the dustless technologies setup and will let you know how it works.
