Farm Shop Layout Adds More Space More Equipment Added

Harold E. Galvin describes a farm shop layout from Welding Helps for Farmers that expands space and tools. The plan, based on years of shop experience, places storage under benches, wall hangs for visibility, tractors and trucks on the right, a chain hoist opposite the large door, and the air compressor and welder near the door for quick tire inflation and welding without entering the shop. The kit includes arc welder, acetylene torch, forge, grinder, drill press, lathe, with posts supporting grinding and drilling and a pipe vise for long pieces.
