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...

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!
