I posted this on the Facebook globe page Scott Benjamin has but I know several are not on Facebook so I am sharing them here. I have a basement garage under my daily driver garage that is 24’ x 30’. Enjoy...
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Powder coated the rings. Bought all 50 rings from gas pump heaven. Diane was great to deal with.

That is awesome. You could put a collection of anvils and vises on those shelves. A future owner of your house will get a surprise if they try to take down the shelves.

Flooring is racedeck garage flooring. It’s awesome but you pay for it. Haha

Very nice and I am jealous as I have no place to do that. Tough to live in the city, not much room to expand.

John, I can tell you have been busy! I'm guessing that you have made the globe shelfs cat proof.

Thanks! The basement garage has 50 globes and I have 40 globes in barn. I have another 8-10 globes not on shelves. I am staying at the 100 globe mark and will just upgrade from here on out. Saying that I will most likely end up building another shelf and displaying more. Haha

Yes, but they sounded bad compared to today’s set up. Haha Had a guy here in town come and fine tune it... he’s 78 years old and hard to find anyone to work on them anymore.

Quite the difference from your old place! I still remember visiting you there. If I remember right, you had that car back then but it was in a lot rougher shape!
