in conclusion,
brute will of the wondering soul
will always overcome
the evil intentions of ignorance and closed-eye greed.
we are a heritage that comes from virgin metalurgy,
and the cohesive forces driving our mission
cannot be misled by those dead... dead down the path of illusionary gain within wallet folds.
those whom treat our forests like whores, reaping whatever their nightmares may muster.
the dreams of the peaceful soldier are confusing.
though, questions of why? often arise,
the because if offered gently, in the realms beyond understanding.
beyond comfort.
carry your load gleefully, and respectfully.

hey there say all... wow, if i would have been able to get that old farm house, why i would have had a mini barn, a neat little shed, kind of like norwegian's, and ....taadaaa.... A WORKSHOP....WHICH would have been across the yard in the garage... (wow, say, i would have had a garage too!)
:)
and some chickens and two goats and.. and... hmmm...
got off track for a sec...
here is MY workshop, where i write the jake smith ranch series...
(though i am on vol 5 of short stories, and book here, shown,
is just example (it is: jake hugs texas)...
and, my "kid's seizure awareness" book, too, is shown for you all...
*actaully, i had patty-ann-marie in one pic, too, but she looks
skinny, 'cause she has not been eating, and i feel sad about it:
she keeps trying to eat the cat food, so she must not be sick...
but she will hardly eat :(
well, back on subject...

Well I have a couple of places I work in The design aspect of my life keeps me in this space now and then. I can also watch as the Taco Turns from here. As for leisure work well I have a number of interest and this spring and summer am in the process of renovating the garage a little as I enjoy tinkering with Bikes and possibly set up a surfboard shaping bay so that me and my g friends younger son can share some project time together. Will revisit this topic as progress on the garage continues :)

Pretty sweet, Cragman.
One of the main things I do is finish work on custom houses. I have designed my "shop" to break down and fit in my truck for transport.
I can do most anything on-site in a two car garage.
All the customizations are mine.

First bike I ever built. Old school generator shovel head with a magneto and kick only jockey shift four speed. Stretched the back bone and downtubes, made the gas tank with an english wheel and planishing hammer, made the pipes, the handle bars, seat, twisted sissy bar and shifter, painted and pinstriped all in my garage. It ended up in Easy Rider magazine which was cool but my wife wasn't too happy about the naked chick posing on it. That was all before I started climbing. Now I'd trade it for a Westfalia in good condition.

Trip - Yup that's Burton. He's still truckin, but definately showing signs of a long life well-lived. Just gave him his spring "black lion" cut. He loves that.
Robb -
I made that just for the planer. That DeWalt has such a powerful fan that it doesn't need vacuum. I used to tape dust bags to the hose, but with the volume of chips from dimensioning, that is expensive and a PITA. That thing works great and everyone with that planer should make one. The concept just came to me one day.
100% effective. I have several people who lust after my wood chips, esp. cedar.
I'd like to make some spring steel clamps to replace the 1 1/2 inch c-clamps that hold the lid on. It takes too long to reset them. Lots of pressure there.
The whole thing rolls around real nice. I swear I'm a half inch shorter from moving that thing around.

Jaybro, I think you have taken the most pics of my shop. I'll take a few more that show the work areas.
Edge, Cragman and Willie, I'm envious how organized you guys are. My shop is actually organized in it's own way but there was a time twenty years ago when I had big, big plans. Real life, kids, jobs. . . .all got in the way. Still it works. It would be fun to talk shop with you guys sometime. Probably won't happen since we are hundreds of miles away but it would be fun.

Nice, Reilly! I didn't know you made boxes.
I used to install all the time for a guy in Juneau who had one of those.
Totally amazing for me to watch a full sheet glide across the blade.
Every time he'd lose a guy, I was always tempted to jump into the shop, but my place really is in the field.
Happy cutting.

Willie,
Yes, the Martin is a joy to behold and use. I've ripped 4 sheets at a time and it literally only takes one finger to push the table! OK, two or three if you have 4 sheets going :-D
The three axis pneumo-electric scoring blade is a real trip!
The most amazing feature is that you can measure your stock with your calipers and enter the thickness to .1mm then when you tilt the blade the 'puter compensates for the thickness and your fences remain accurate with any degree of bevel!
Yes, yous guys in the know correctly refer to it as 'box making'.
That's all it is just like the song said (Joni Mitchel?). Sometimes the boxes get a little more interesting...

But in the end they're all just boxes. I know, in the end we'll all be...

You only get to see the outside - the inside is embarrassing.
You might notice, if that bush allowed, that the left window sill is lower
than the others. That's so I can joint/plane long boards. It does require
the removal of the screen which, so far, I have always remembered to do.

I just got back from securing some shared shop space to rent in Boulder. I moved in my tool cabinet today, and the workbench, joiner, mortiser, band saw, and drill press, along with the other necessities, will go in later this week or next. Any Boulder area peeps want a free workout lifting some serious dead weight? Yeah, I didn't think so...
I just got to get a couple of clients to commit to the furniture/cabinets/wooden sea kayak that we've been discussing and then the wood chips will be flying.

Yes, Brandon, I was very lucky to find such a perfect place. After having my shop located 20 steps outside my door for the last 19 years the 1/2 hour ride will take some getting used to, but on the plus side I won't be losing shop time by getting distracted with dogs, weeding, hour and a half lunches, and all that jazz.
Sierra Ledge Rat, nice job; looks bomber. How did you surface that beast to get it flat? I cheated with my workbench and bought a stock maple butcher block then added a maple base, shelf, vise, and tool well.

BrassNuts, as Maria Muldaur so famously sang, "It ain't the meat, it's the motion."
After our conversation at the Boulder Happy Hour about the differences in accommodating wood movement in NH vs CO, I'm sure you've got the motion covered. I'd love to see your work sometime.
eKat, it looks perfect to me. Rube would be proud.
