My new office/hideout

[geneseo1911]

You should have seen this room three weeks ago. I could get to my desk, but that was about it. What you can't see behind the camera is a wall of shelves I had to build to get everything off the floor. That's why it felt like such a victory to pull the Rocket in here today.

Of all the things in here, I missed the mill the most. It was in the center of the room and partially disassembled. I had a few projects this spring and summer that it would've make real quick work out of, but instead I had to half ass them with a grinder. I can't wait to get the thing wired up and start on the AK kit I've been sitting on for three years.

Very nice man cave. So many nice toys I hardly noticed that U of I sign.

Sweet...!Every guy needs a man cave. Nice M1-Carbine. I have a Inland and scored a nice bayonet form a guy in Michigan on e-bay. It was an original in great shape.

Off topic too I know, but in the bastardized immortal words of another Aussie:
"That's not a bayonet - this is a bayonet"

French M1874 Gras Bayonet with T cross section blade.

This is not mine but I have a St Etienne May 1878 made one too. They all have the hand engraved armoury and date of manufacture like image below.

What the box on the ceiling?

Looks like a Maxx brand fan/vent for the enclosed room in the shed. Similar to those rooftop ones on a a caravan.

That's the heater. Its a 55000 btu nat gas unit. It should be big enough to heat the shop area next to this room as well once I get it enclosed. The rest of the shed is cold storage.
