And the leather belting is spot on! Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33265 k9wrangler Engineer Posted - 02/18/2021 :  11:02:19 AM     Nice looking shop. The belt system is so cool. 2 summers back we went to an estate sale at the neighbor's a half mile S of us, 2 spinsters in their 80s had been born and grew up there, and in a shop building were all the ceiling rafter mounted shafts and pulleys, the belts had not survived, there was a single cylinder hit and miss gas engine mounted on a cement base ~24" built up from the floor. It commanded a lot of attention when it came up for bids.

Jerry thank you and thanks for the "young man". Larry thanks. I kept the Shop small so I didn't break the bank making it look full. Roland thank you so much. The addition will be started soon. Heath thank you for the nice compliment and thanks for stopping by. Michael thanks, I'm very pleased how the machines turned out. Tyson thank you and thanks for stopping by. Bruce thank you. The idea for the belt material came from this forum and the coloring seemed right to me. Keeping them tight was a major priority.

I have admired others' work building these shops and the overhead pulley system and belts always intrigued me. I'm sure all of those pulleys and such from those Ladies Shop brought a very high price; especially if someone was trying to build there own like I've seen in videos online.

This time I glued the joists on edge on the card and with the addition of the flooring it's even with the entryway coming into the hammer area. That way there is only one step up. It's a scale 18 ft. wide by a scale 24 ft deep. This was actually glued to the Shop part and should give me enough room for the Hammer, boiler, Foundry Crane, and a Foundry oven; which should pretty much fill up the area. Here is photo I found online of the Royal Navy Ship Foundry that was once in England. The Hammer is massive as are the Cranes. There's my start on the addition for J.D.s; more to follow.

Looking forward to seeing how you build it. Roland Country: USA | Posts: 1939 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 02/20/2021 :  10:58:53 PM       Larry, I’m looking forward to watching the new addition going up. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7189 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 02/21/2021 :  06:12:19 AM     Larry, like Roland and Mike, I'll be following along and seeing how this addition comes together. Country: USA | Posts: 24328 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 02/21/2021 :  08:26:41 AM     This should be an interesting addition, Larry. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33265 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/21/2021 :  08:34:23 AM     Watch your fingers around that beast!! Looking forward to a build nobody has done before!

Lincoln Country: USA | Posts: 13194 Larryc Crew Chief Posted - 02/21/2021 :  09:38:47 AM     Roland thank you. The Plate 1 pic is for inspiration. Being that mine is much, much smaller and will be for making parts that are too large to be handled in the shop. Although I'm going to try and incorporate some of the elements in the addition. Michael thanks, this is going to a be a challenge for sure. Rick thank you; glad your following along. Bruce thank you; it will be different. Jerry I'll take a digit count after each work session just to be sure nothing's missing. When the Hammer wouldn't fit in the Shop that's when, shortly after, I decided to do an addition to due the machine justice.

Philip Country: USA | Posts: 3468 Larryc Crew Chief Posted - 02/24/2021 :  10:19:27 AM     Philip thank you. Glad you stopped by. The addition should add quite a bit of interest to the build.
