This is a 4x6x18” former CSX locomotive repair shop locker. It’s made of 0.125 solid plate steel & angle iron. Took two grown men a lot of effort to get it located on its own reinforced concrete pad. Its bad ass & I stole it for $100 from someone who had more money than common sense. 😎

Dude, that is badass. Built like a locomotive and definitely hurricane-proof. Does it get warm internally since its outside?

BTW, I love your shelf divisions on when you can start drinking: Just Whenever and TOMorrow!

I hope JW & Tom would be approve of what their locker is used for today.

Yes, it gets hot inside then naturally cools down overnight. Daily thermal cycling should be good for aging — I hope. Ha! It surely hasn’t hurt.

All of mine have labels. I have another couple dozen stashed in different cabinets around the house. I tell my wife, I don't have a drinking problem, I have a collecting problem.

I don't drink alcohol, I drink distilled spirits.
Therefore I'm not a alcoholic, I'm spiritual.

I really like that barrel chair.
