A very cozy room, am surprised by the abscence of artwork.  Bare walls begging for prints of brass era cars, or art deco advertizing posters.  The chairs and couch with their diamond pleated upholstery very reminiscent of the type used in the brass era.

I`d expect to see a pipe cradle on that desk.

And some Grey Paupon?   ;)

 A blonde pushes her old BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly.
She says, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just crap in the carburettor." She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"

Very nice! I'd add a bar in that little lounge and it would be perfect

   A young ventriloquist is touring Sweden and, one night, he's doing a show in a small fishing town.
With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his customary dumb-blonde jokes.

Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blonde women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being. It's people like you that make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only Blondes, but women in general . . . pathetically, all in the name of humor!"

When the embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, the blonde shouts . . . "You stay out of this. I'm talking to that little s*** on your lap."

Located in my basement, just a short distance from my machine shop. It's generous size 12' by 30' and comfortable setting. Here's a picture of my Hamilton Drafting table.. That still receives lots of action today for drawing part prints, buildings, or laying out machinery. The drafting machine in on the left with an aluminum and clear blades. On the far top RH side is my trusty 1955 Machinist's Handbook,, Bible we'd call it. Left are circle and elliptical templates. Circle and beam Compasses for large circles. Triangles 30-60-90 degree along with a French Curve. Square root, Trig tables, and die maker's Radius Charts. Of course a slide rule and scales. Mechanical pencils in three different lead hardness. Horse hair drawing brush, spare leads, and sharpener..  Electric eraser & shield.. All that's needed. And old the school calculator..The slide ruler...


I started using a "T" Square and triangles 65 years ago. After a few years I purchased a K&E arm machine. Then graduated to a K&E track machine. We called the paper Velumm that you'd make blue prints from.

Sitting across from the drafting table is table desk used for spreading out drawings, etc. Along with my printer scanner and other catch alls.... Along with a two drawer file cabinet. Gram scale and lighted magnifier on top...


This is my double pedestal desk that has my computer monitor, mouse, and keyboard. My work station...


This is a roomy lounge area where I entertain friends using the round table and chairs..


Like the rest of my shop. A fire extinguisher by the door...
