Great looking shop, Dadoo! I don’t think you look all that much like your buddy icon, though. :-)

Another Debbie special under her belt.

Wait a just a minute…where’s the sawdust? What’s a shop without sawdust? You must have spent hours cleaning up before she got there. Reminds me, I’ve got to get busy cleaning mine :-)

BTW… I like the purple paint,

Are you kidding?! He looks JUST like his buddy icon. In fact, I didn’t even think it was an icon… I always thought it was a photograph. I mean, look at the smile, and especially the eyes!!! It’s a dead match!

Doug and Deb, thanks for giving us a glimpse of Dadoo’s shop, although only a small window it is into his mad scientist mind.

I found another picture of him on the internet:

Nice shop tour. Thanks Dadoo, Ms D.

Dadoo, Debbie thanks for the post. It was a wonderful wake-up call this morning. This was better than a cup of coffee.

Dadoo I like the way you’ve coordinated the panels in your wall cabinets and wall bench legs with the work bench. Obviously “purple heart” is favorite wood of choice with you. It certainly adds color to your shop.

Thanks for sharing.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Nice Work Douglas and Ms. Debbie,

great shop for a madd scientist.

Hey thanx everybody. Life is short so ya gotta have fun, right? Neat pic Blake!

Sbryan55, maybe you outta let the coffee kick in…It’s not purpleheart! When we built the house, the wifey-poo wanted to paint the entry doors and “personally” chose “Castleberry” colored paint. (Paint companies should create a clear paint and call it “Diamond”...It would sell to women like crazy!) Anyhow, the color turned out to be purple! Go figure! “Well, that clerk must’ve mixed the wrong color!” So she returned the can, he mixed another and told her to keep the original gallon, (cuz nobody else wants it!) and the new color turned out to be…Purple! Go figure again! So she painted our doors purple…”It’s called Castleberry!” and I’ve got another gallon to waste. So I used it on my cabinets in the shop. But now that you’ve mentioned purpleheart…Hmmmm.

She was also impressed (“Oh, hum”) by the by the Shop Tour certificate as well. I’ll be hanging it next to my autographed picture of Norm! She’s “Oh hum” about that as well! Maybe it’s time to track some sawdust thru the house again?!

And THANX! Doug! The tour turned out real well.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

You’re welcome, Dadoo. Incidentally, there have been no known reports of paranormal activity associated with the framed certificates, however in your laboratory anything is possible!

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Well done Doug & Debbie. Thanks Dadoo for the look.

Thanks all for the tours. Dadoo the shop looks great, guess it is time to get back to those experiments.

We recently made a flying machine but as usual it broke down and we were stuck there, 100’ up in the air…soooo, the fire dept. had to get us down and my wife is pissed again, but Steve’s wife is really ticked off cuz all he brought up there was a life jacket. Time for a cold one. You go get one too.

We do have a submarine in the planning stages but that’s a secret right now. If I build the dashboard out of wood, I’ll blog it for you guys.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Hey Dadoo – very nice shop tour Doug and Debbie nice job as always. Blakes photo was awesome as well – Nice Job Dadoo!
