Interesting Little Workshop

We have a trucking company and occasionally we will pick up the odd salvage job and we recently salvaged several generations of farm equipment and an interesting workshop.

Someone had taken an old round steel grain bin, laid it on it's side, built a door on the bottom end. The round bottom has plank flooring and workbenches built down the sides and back. At one time it was hooked up to electricity because the lights and old wiring are still there.

Sounds like a rather creative use for a grain bin. Could you post pics?

My canning kitchen is made from a grain bin. A second bin has been purposed for chicken butchering, but it's not as nice. There are pics on another thread under my name.

I'm hoping for a chance to go digging through it this weekend. Things got jumbled when it was loaded and off loaded but it's full of great old treasures. I noticed a couple antique train jacks, antique tools and harness rings and hames for sure.
