I simply do not beieve that any work has ever been done in either of the locations shown by Mcandrew 1894 . These photographs are obviously part of an elaborate confidence trick .
Both sites are FAR too clean and tidy !!!

Just built this steamboat building workshop, summer 2009. 28 x 24 feet, basically a wood shop as the new hull will be plywood with fiberglass covering.
This shop has a 13 x 40 metal lathe, 10 inch radial arm saw, 10 inch table saw, 12 inch compound mitre saw, band saw, belt and disc sanders, plus many hand tools.
In the metal working shop (in the basement of the house) I have a few other metal lathes, (there was no room for the new 13 x 40 there) a mill/drill, power hacksaw, drill presses, grinders, buffers, plus a sheet metal shear/brake/roll (30").
Welding machines are in another garage, MIG, TIG, Stick and Oxy-Acetelyne.
Now just to find the time to get on with this project!

Somewhere in here is a 14x40" lathe, a 6x18" lathe, a bridgeport style mill, drill press, band saw, table saw, ac/dc arc welder, 5&10X6" Doty Compound, 6&10X7" Claparede compound, a small launch compound my father built to 6A dimentions, a couple duplex steam pumps, and a dissassembled 425ci Buick Nailhead V8 amongst other things.
We are proud to say that an automobile has never entered this garage.
The boats sleep outside.
