Gone full circle now. From a “hobby shop” in my basement to a full blown business with several employees, back to a basement again…I think it all changes when it becomes your livelyhood and some of the fun goes out of it.

Agreed, creating for profit is vastly different from creating for fun… Nice space for a basement shop for sure. Most of the basements I see make me claustrophobic… Yours looks good and roomy!

Saying “no” to jobs you don’t want to do helps keep the fun in it a bit longer. Some people don’t have that luxury though.

I’m having a ball again, thanks for your comments and I added a drill press last night that I found on Craiglist for only $30!
