I am looking forward to following your garage transformation. You are very talented and I am sure you will make the best of the small space. Good luck Blake

Slightly smaller than my current shop but a lot closer to home (i.e. attached to it)

Seems like a reasonable tradeoff Blake. Best wishes in the new space and enjoy the journey…the destination will take care of itself.

We’re supposed to get bigger, not downsize. Did your wife have anything to do with this?

-- Just a man with his chisel.........

Congrats on the new house Blake. Being that I had lived in your area for a number of years I know that lots and properties are small, is there an option to possibly expand to the rear or one side of the garage?

That is awesome Blake! Congratulations.

-- Jeff , Illinois Please...can I stay in the basement a little longer, please!

Blake, I’ll help you make room… Send me those 1 1/4” vise rods from the back wall, and that 10” backsaw from your bench area. With all that room cleared up, shouldn’t have any problems squeazing into the new space. :-)

Congrats to you!

Sounds good Blake. Glad you can work at home now. Am I correct that you converted a little coop or barn into a shop with a friends help some years ago? I seem to remember a humorous post about that experience.
