Show me yours

[evgwheel]

Hi
Since this is an Off-Topic Forum, where passions / interests of members can be posted without judgments, I’m really curious to see photos/images of members backyard sheds or workspaces were they carry out their work on the wheel.
(Keep your current project hidden).
When I work on a project (Not often enough) I do it on a large deck at the back as most of my tools in the shed are for car repairs.
I envy people with large workspaces full of woodworking tools and lathes.
I suspect that a lot of people (like me) are fighting an uphill battle as far as making a working wheel WORK with a hammer and chisel, unless you’re a carpenters boy...
Please make me envious so I can drool and dream over your setup.

you just made my son envious. what is it and where does it go into. We shouldn't really discuss engines on this forum, but before we don't discuss this in this forum. How many litres and torque do you expect plus hp.

efg,

We shouldn't really discuss engines on this forum

And why not? this is the "off topic" thread. There has been a lot of talk about engines here.

Me, I am curious to know more about the carburetor. Been a few years since I was a street rodder. What is it? an AFB, a Holly double pumper or what?
