The shop definitely is not finished. I can't see any swarf on the floor or the machines.  :lol: :lol:
I like the old gas pumps from when I was a kid and before. Also noticed the De Laval Cream Separator Sign. Used to help my grandfather separate the cream from the milk when I was a kid. If the truth were to be known I was probably more of a hindrance than help. It brings back some fond memories. Thanks for showing it to us and welcome to MadModder, I'm sure that you will fit right in.  :D :)

Be safe, have fun and enjoy the forum.  :mmr:

Cheers :beer:

Nice shop. All the Britt's just got "Shop Envey". Old Bog's should see this one. He'd go insane.  :lol:

Hey, did you ever think about putting a cooler in those pumps so you could despense some alcoholic beverages from them?  :ddb:

Don: i "try" to keep the shop clean "most" of the time. The pictures were taken at that rare moment!! I have a weakness for the old gas pumps, signage, and old tools too!!

Bob: the JD sign came from the dealership where i work. It was taken down, left outside for years, then when it was about to be trashed....i rescued it!

Bernd: Good idea but i have a rule: No alcohol in the shop...no exceptions!!!

Great stuff, don't know why I didn't see this sooner. Other than not paying attention or having another senior moment  :lol: Ah signage yes it can become an addiction, glad I have no more wall space. Another collection I don't need  :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't think this is Ceicl's real shop. I can't find one piece of swarf anywere, no matter how large I blow those pictures up to. I think it's Cecil's "show room"  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Either that or he has one large shop vac to keep it so clean.  :bugeye:
