GMTA exhib_it_all!!!!! TY for the suggestion......of which I had already thought on the same path! Though....as far as I know....fishing weights are made of lead..........no?????

I don't think this thing is lead........pretty sure not anyway! I could go scratch it now....and just settle that curiousity.....couldn't I? LOL!

Everything looks really, really cool, Lixy.

The oxidation talk went over my head. At least one of us understood PF for a change!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Tell hubby the wind chime does look terrific.

Wish I had a barn and workspace like what he's got. Is it heated for the winter?

Good luck on the picnic table.

LMAO@Steph! I just spout things out and if I happen to hit on something pertaining to the actual subject I think, "Yep! I meant to say that"!

Thanks db hunny bun! I got an answer to your question by way of pics! I was asked to post some pics of the entire shop....so bear with me.....I resized them and lightened them and here they come!

Hubby just recently insulated some of the workshop area.....but it's a really old barn (100 or so) and so it's hard to keep the heat in. We didn't want to cover up the beams and such...but the wind would come through the walls inna blast if we didn't do something. So far, this is the only source of heat. We've tried a wood burning stove but was afraid to leave it alone should we need to go out and it was still smouldering....then we tried a wall hung propane one....but it was too big and therefore too hot....so dad-in-law gave us this till we find something better.

Part of the second room......it's two rooms in one, seperated by a floor beam. The floor is now concrete but I don't imagine it was when it housed horses (way back when). They can't stand on concrete too long!

Just throwing this in here to show what project he has in store for me after the picnic table...I hope! Though....he's had this plan for over a year now. Can we all do that hand holding and chanting out loud thing again???? Gawd, I need this cupboard!

Let's see.......all in all there are 6 rooms in this barn...and a few alcoves....a hay loft and a secret room above my garden shed (can only get to it by an outside door!) If you go up these stairs it opens to a huge room we use for storage.....summer lawn chairs and such.

This is what you see when you come in the main door......this all looks the same to me...but shows the lay-out pretty well, I guess. As I said...I was asked to post pics of the whole shop!

And.......give yourselves a bonus point if you can spot a pic that doesn't have a glass of beer in it! ROFLMAO! Hey! We got the meister..and we make use of it!

Hubby named this....not me! This is through the door at the far end of the shop....another room, to house the "Hornet". And I've got some industrial sewing machines in there (that I haven't brought into the house since we moved in...in 1999.....YIKES!)
