Brian, this looks like a pretty nice shop to me. You appear to have plenty of room in there to accommodate your tool collection and ample room to maneuver between the tool stations. You also have put together a nice collection of tools.
But it looks to me as if you have an issue with your offcuts and shorts. :) You appear to be a woodworker after my heart in that, like you, I can’t seem to throw any of the short pieces out. I end up just tossing them on shelves (which of course my wife refers to with terms such as “clutter and mess”) hoping that eventually I will find a use for them.
Thanks for the pictures. I had fun touring your shop.

what do you use the press for?

Captain, I’d say that you have a mighty nice setup. You have a lot of nice equipment and it looks like it’s kept very well organized and neat. Nice work.

Howdy, Cousin (I’m a Brooks).
Having looked over your shop pictures, thoroughly, it seems the one thing you’re missing is…
Nope. I see two of those ;-)
