It's a Carl Allison work for the Norge. Naturally, I have there for folks who help me as it is gibberish to me. Oh, I meant to add to my most recent post a comment about the sound system you and others have mentioned as critical to a shop. Well, yes, nice, I suppose. But nothing much in this forum's music thread gets played on the hand-me-down radio (with broken CD player) I have in the Moto Grappa. Instead, I have that old radio set to WETA Classical Washington 90.9 FM 24/7. My Guzzis prefer it. Bill 1 Link to comment
docc Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 My Sport seems mostly given to The Blues. . . . like it got its instruments tuned at some crossroads in Mississippi . . . 1 1 Link to comment

Mine is a 3'' X 4" . I never thought of mounting one to the shop wall. You know, like above the fire extinguisher. I keep one under the Sport's seat along with a Fresnel lens. For those impromptu, roadside TechSessions . . . 2 Link to comment
gstallons Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have diagrams galore in this old crock next to my computer/work station along with two service manuals and two parts manuals for the Guzzis . BTW , laminate the big one and use erasable multi-color markers to keep things easy to clean up after the conferences . 4 Link to comment
docc Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 For lighting, I followed the lead of one the auto professionals that I know and added "wall" lighting (in addition to overhead lights) to cut the shadows where we tend to poke our heads into. I was fortunate to repurpose some retired X-ray viewboxes to surround the lift . . . 3 Link to comment
gstallons Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 You know you've looked at these diagrams way too long when you could put on a clinic with them BEHIND your back . 1 1 Link to comment
docc Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I also spy Bill Hagan's clever gear rack: a six (or eight?) foot ladder to hang jackets and pants from, totes and helmets on top, boots and totes at the base. Brilliant! 4 Link to comment

Adjustable so it shines exactly where you are looking and if you get a good one with built in charger it gives 15 hours of very bright lighting. Wish they made them when I was working under the cowls of hi bypass gas turbines out in the open tarmac for 30 years of my career. Ciao 3 Link to comment
Goofman Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm inspired! My mini split is currently still on it's pallet, but insulation is complete. Choosing my wall panel material now. 2 Link to comment

I put really bright suspended LED ceiling mounted shop lights in and they work great; but the brighter light makes for even darker shadows in the in the middle or bottom of whatever I'm working on; the headlamp cuts through the shadows. 3 Link to comment

Airborne! A master parachutist ... but vintage 1976, i.e., in the days we leaped from biplanes. Inexplicably to me, too, that sweatshirt has shrunk in astonishing ways since I ran down Ardennes in it. 1 Link to comment
