Nice collection! Thats what I am looking to see. I know some more people around here have tools. samueljackson, the first welder is never a great one. I had two before this one. It is my most expensive tool but I love it and would purchase again in a heartbeat. If you ever want to upgrade, I highly recommend it.

thanks, and if you look at the cart next to my welder, you'll see my first welder, that is also a harbor freight pos, that was my first, a buddy of mine bought it for 80 bucks. he let me use it for a while just to practice. when it came time to weld up his exhaust (the reason he bought the thing), he wanted me to do it. he was so happy with it, he let me have it. i then bought that dual mig in the pic for 190. and its really not that bad. i recently used it for the first time on my ex man, actually i was so used to the cheaper version, it was like learning all over again. my welds looked like crap.

I have my share of tools, but I have absolutely no form of organization implemented. I just try and remember where that damn 8mm/10mm/13mm/15mm/18mm/23(or is it 24?)mm. I probably spend more time looking for the stuff I never put away than I do actually working on anything I'll just go get a picture of where a majority of them are....

well as you can tell, im definitely not organized myself, so no judgment here.

whats sad is that i semi-recently cleaned my garage, i just get lazy and or cold, when dusk creeps up and its time to pick up the tools from the driveway.

I'm just gonna link them as not to clutter the thread. I took about 8 pics... One of my project is in there. It'* just a mockup, don't have all of the guts yet, but it reminds me of what I have so far, not what I need to get(I feel closer to finished that way)

It'* not heated(yet), and I could probably park about 5 Thunderbirds in there. Probably only 3 bonnevilles(maybe 4). That'* if it were clean and organized. It'd be cramped though.
