Here are a few before and after pictures of a shop I restored 4 years ago. It was built in the late 1930's and used by a father as a blacksmith/welding shop and later in the 50's one of his sons did automotive repair there until his death in the mid 1970's. The father carried on until his retirement in the 1980's.The shop was then was slowly under used and finally abandoned.

As you'll see nothing was ever thrown out is seems. So far I've removed 48 tons of steel scrap that was recycled.
This was his welding corner. Note the Lincoln arc welder on the right. It's the same welder in the after picture. Same place where it's been for decades and will be cosmetically restored as it works very well as is.
