Your garage looks a lot like mine except it looks like you actually get something done. Is that a '64 Dodge Dart?

Cool set up Roger. Although I think you should have used a metal drum. Then you could put a heater under it to warm the water and the shop in the cold days that are here again.

It doesn't quite look like my shop, but we do use the same "filing" system

I don't recycle the water, I drain the old water after I fill the top one.I get water from outside then while the hose is full of water I stick it in the drain barrel and it siphons outside under a tree then put the hose away.

I love it! A true rocker!! That is exactly how I always picture a rock shop looking, also how my work area looks too, he-heh! The rear view mirror is a nice touch. I need one too so as to see when the wife is sneaking in to steal a new rock!
