Ms Debbie P's 2008 Shop Tour and Inspection #2: Leap Day Visit to the shop of HansonDVM

Great shop, Thanks Doc and Deb and Doug. The three D’s.

and it looks nicer (or cleaner) than some kitchens too!

That is one Mickey Mouse shop. Very clean and organised. Great review 3D’s.

Doc do you do woodworking or surgery in that shop? That is the best organized and cleanest wood shop that I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing. And 1800 sq. ft. Wow, makes my 220 sq. ft. shop feel like working in a matchbox (which it is).

Yah, I did the “white glove test” on the floor …. spotless!
I was embarrassed to go into my kitchen after this tour.

The Christmas tree story is a first for me! Of course, we want pictures! Do you have any, Doc?

Great shop tour, Thanks.. and that router/table saw table… very impressive. (Still not going to use those tools, but I can be impressed by them!)

Congrats on the pass

Thanks Deb, Doug and Joe for the shop tour. I agree that this one is a showcase. Just for curiosity I looked at the workshop post pictures and the shop looks identical. It appeared to be spotless in the original post as well. This reflects the pride that is put into the shop and it shows especially with the saw station and the countertops.

Very nice shop.

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

Although I have no doubt Joe keeps his shop that clean from force of habit as well as out of respect for the wife’s allowance of the entire basement, Scott – I cannot tell a lie. Those are the original shop photos with Deb photoshopped in after the fact. Saves so much on jet fuel and such.

I always enjoy the shop tours. This was a fun tour and a great looking shop!

that was fun. Looks great

-- making sawdust....

What a nice, & tidy looking shop. I sure wish I could keep mine as nice.

Thanks for the tour Debbie, & Doug!

Nice tour Doc! Gives you a sense of inner pride having your shop toured and passed! Congrats!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

The shop is cleaner than some restaurants. Nicely done.

nice tour. i love the table saw set up. it makes that craftsman look like a cabinet saw and probably function like one too.

Well, that puts February’s shop visit behind us. Now is the time to solicit volunteers for March’s visit and the months beyond. Send me a PM if you’re game for the virtual visit and a crack at internet shop fame. For you newer jocks, you can research the beginning of Debbie’s transmogrification from Life Guide and occasional woodworker to MsDebbieP, Director General of Inspections – beginning here.

I got a little scared there, Douglas.. I didn’t know I had a transmogrification… I guess it didn’t hurt or maybe I’m still numb from the experience! lol

It has indeed been an honour (and educational) to be the Director GENERAL (cool.. I think I got a promotion) of Inspections.

WOW I am still smiling about Miss Debbie P’s visit. I don’t think that’s hot chocolate in her mug – wink. – Thank you all for the nice comments – slight confession… Douglas and Scott – the workshop does come with a few strings attatched – WIFE RULE # 1 It must be clean otherwise tools will be moved to the Garage, and I guess I get moved to the Doghouse lol. But… clearly I’m not whipped. One thing that has helped wtih keeping things clean is that I put 10 things away every time I go downstairs.

For all you wanting a photo of the Hanson Christmas Tree / tumble weed I’ll try to get one up or even better I’ll do one as a Cowboy Christmas project lol. Thanks again every one much appreciated – now its off to try and fix a mean cat.

Definitely hot chocolate!! :)

hah can’t wait to see the “tree”.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Hi Doc;

Glad to hear you’re not whipped, and I hope your patients aren’t either. That borders on the wrong side of abuse.

I suspect your shop would be that clean even without the directive from the wife.

Great shop review from Douglas and Ms Debbie and her clipboard.

Another good one Deb
