 |  My little shop After I retired from being a cop for 21 years - I knew that I needed to find something to do exciting. Woodworking was it - well at least its a slower pace. I built myself - the inside of the building anyhow - a 24 foot by 24 foot woodworking shop. In a past life I was assistant manager of a lumber yard for 21 years. Sold lumber but never worked with it - so I kind of know lumber. Summer time I have all sorts of things going on - winter I - well that is why I build the shop. Someplace to go and something to do. Everything was built by me - and the reason for the work benches looking like they do - is the fact that I wanted this to be a work shop and not an extension of my home - unfinished work benches and tables. All of the tools that you see in the shop were purchased in 2000 - when I purchased my home - just asked for a little more money on the loan. Then stored in their original container until 2005/2006 - December - when my shop was semi - finished. "The tools kept calling out - Saw dust". but they just had to wait. Here are some pictures of my humble little shop. Thanks for looking.. Last edited by Larrysch : 12-05-2008 at 06:48 PM. |

| That's a nice looking shop, but I noticed one thing that's missing. SAWDUST!  Seriously, you have yourself a really great shop there.

| LOL Ed - I am a neat freak. I will saw something and then clean up the sawdust - just to use the same saw 10 minutes later. I have to get over that and just let the sawdust sort of build up. (But just a little!) |

| Great looking shop Larry. Give it a little while and it will look like most everyone else's. First it starts with I'll do it in the morning, then next week and then in the spring. Tom

| Knothead - I hope so - I am getting tired of all the clean up - I hear sawdust is pretty nice to walk on. Chase - yes that is a Ridgid oscillating edge belt/spindle sander. I did respond to your post. Last edited by Larrysch : 05-05-2008 at 03:19 PM. |

| Nice shop . Looks like you plan to do some serious wood work . I purchased my tools the same way and put them away for the day I got a nice shop . Had a house built . Wife loves it . No shop . Not entirely true . I have a 16'x20' addition on our mobile home , which I come alonged to the rear of our property over a 3 week period . It is full of all the tools I purchased to use . Now it's pull one out move another over . Nice to have lots of room . Looks like you'll have fun in your shop . I just need to get organized . Good luck . Roger |

 | Wowser!!! That is awesome! My shop is merely a section of our calf barn walled off. I am very cluttered and try to stay organized but it sure is hard!! I have made a vow to never make anything bigger than me in it again. That is why I love scrolling so much! Congratulations on your new shop! |
