I've heard of shade tree mechanics
But yesterday was the first time I ever saw a shade tree
wood worker. I was out riding my bicycle yesterday afternoon. As I came around the bend in the trail over at the park I heard a motor noise and looked around. There was man with a floor standing drill-press in the shade of a tree over there. He had a portable generator to provide power and was doing some kind of work. It was a nice day for being out doors, but I somehow didn't expect any body to move a work shop out there. There was convertible parked next to him. I suppose with the top down he could get the drill press in the back seat. Bill |

Bill It would be nice to work outside some days, but the noise of the generator would spoil at least a part of it. My favorite time to work in the garage is when I can leave the door open and enjoy the breeze and sunshine, even if not direct. Sanding out in the driveway is better than inside. |

Find a vacant lot where you can build a boat, then drag in a 20 ft trailer to store tools and house eng-gen when not in use. Don't expect to find power on a vacant lot. Wore out a couple of eng-gen's building my boat. Now if you could find a lot with a tree and a motor hanging in it, you would have a red neck auto repair shop G. Lew |
