Those look like they would save me a million hours. I would happily take any pics you give us. Thanks Marty.

I'm not about to embarrass myself by showing pictures of my shop, which serves two fold as a garage, but the mess is such that you couldn't squeeze a vehicle in there if there was a hail storm coming and I had 2 days to prepare for it!

Wow, Some of you guys are set up! Someday I hope to have something half that nice.

It's been a while, and I finally have the pics to post of my own "shop". It changes every week, depending on the project. Split, mobile benches that can be clipped together to create either a 48" X 48" bench or 96" X 24" bench, give me a ton of flexibility. It does get crowded at times, but i'm sure we all feel that way. My brainasium is my favorite part. Hours get lost there on a regular basis. I did 90% of this with things I kept from when I renovated our house this past winter. Old full doors, bi-fold doors, and even the kitchen counters and an old dresser became benches, shelves, and didn't cost me a dime. It still needs finishing IMO, but I still love it the way it is too. The furnace, and overhead shelving was existing. I removed another section equal to the existing overhead shelf cause it was too much, and it turned into a bench by the fire pit. Otherwise I stripped the garage to sheathing, and started from there. I re-used light fixtures and gave the shop more than 12x the lumens it started with. It's also equipped with 220, and I intend on putting a window and door leading to the back yard in the near future.

Way too clean to be an active shop fishy! Get some dust stirring would ya'..........thats a dam fine band saw by the way. NICE

Thanks PD. I figured if i'm going to get one, I better get one and be done. 2 hours is quite a ways to come split lumber but if you ever need to resaw some stuff, load the truck and help yourself brother.

well that is a nice shop fish, now stop showing it off and get some bows built.

Fish, that's a sissy pant's no dust shop:) LOL

I know John Sturdevant's shop looks like a chemical company clean room.

Man if you guys only knew how much dust is really in that garage... you'd definitely be singing a different tune. I HATE dust, but I love shavins. My next purchase is going to be a dust collector for sure. Even before I get a compressor.

Kelly - There's a bow billet on the bench brother!

Roy - I willingly accept my new name of "Sissy Fish Pants".

PEARL DRUMS · « **Reply #54 on:** August 12, 2011, 08:16:00 AM »

Hey man Im a "sissy pant 3 under shooter"! He only says that crap because he safely nestled away in PA where we cant reach his old, crusty butt!

Hey fish n chicks,that's a nice shop you have there. Mine's crowded and I'm always bumping into things or trying not to trip over extention cords. Is the overhead furace a gas burner or electric? That's something I could use. it gets cold here in winter.
Dave.
P.S. If the furnace burns gas be careful about wood dust in the air while it's on.

I feel sad I only have a draw knife,rasp and sandpaper. The old guy I knew (mentor) use to laugh and say whats the draw knife for. He built self bows for 50 years with just 2 rasps. A really big one (2 foot ) COURSE and the other one was FINE one (foot long).

I will get some pics of my shop today even though it isn't as great as some of your guys stuff

Living_waters · « **Reply #58 on:** August 14, 2011, 09:04:00 AM »

Love the pics of the shops. We just sold our house and my shop is in about a hundred totes and small storage unit. But just as soon as we get our new house done I get to start with a clean slate in a 24x30 that is setting on my drafting table at the moment. Thanks for the ideas.

Semo sorry bud but I have had to promise that I would not let the overcrowded garage guys to influence me any more and I would walk the straight path and keep the new shop like fish's.
