PhilipR's Workshop

Looks great. You do need to make some dust though. Entirely too clean.

Actually, I spent two days last week cleaning and have been really good about vacuuming everything up each evening when I’m done working though that’s a habit that is easily broken. I suspect that once I get my hands on some green wood for turning I’m going to have to be very diligent about cleaning up every night.

I was going to say your machines looked too new. Then I read your text.

Nice shop!

Looking good. What do you do with the kitty litter? (The only brand that works. I know.)

Great looking shop. I like the idea of putting a desk in the shop as well. To many of us focus totally on tools and forget that planning and design are essential elements of furniture construction. But I do agree with Karson’s comment. There is too little dust in the shop. It reminds me of Norm’s. But I doubt that he does a lot of sweeping and vacuuming on the set so you must have really been hurting for some shop time by spending two days cleaning.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tour, remember sawdust on floor will eventually mean sawdust in the lungs. I like a clean shop like yours.

Phillip, you have a nice shop and are on your way. Welcome to Lumberjocks.
