Thanks Wayne The garage was about a mile away at the neighbors house so we used 2 farm tractors and a hay wagon to bring it to my house.
Then i built a floor in it and added 6 ft to the length of it.
It sure beats working in my kitchen . lol

I bet that was a sight to see. Looks like a wonderful place to live.

I never give nail guns much thought when it comes to woodworking, but I guess you are rally in the construction business if only on a much smaller scale.

Good to see your shop, John.

Thanks Wayne and Don.

I used to frame houses for 20 years and most of that time i never used nail guns .
Then 5 years ago i permanently injured my arms so i find using nail guns much easier.
I use a 16 gage finish nailer the most.

Hi John,

This is a nice looking shop that you have to work in. I can appreciate the extension cords. I have to move outside when I need to cut (or risk getting yelled at for getting sawdust all over the shop floor) so I have extension cords strung all over the place. You have a nice set of tools as well.

Thanks for the post.

Thank you Scott , Most of the time i use my shop just for storing my tools unless its raining then i will work in there . In the winter i turn my house into a shop . Some day i will have my dream shop .lol

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Hey Buddy;

Nice amount of space to play in!

Looks like you’re not completely settled in yet. Takes a while, huh.

Have fun!

wow… so much room….. looks fantastic

As much as I like my shop, I really like the old rustic feel you have. You will have years of enjoyment out of it, I’m sure.

Congratulations.

Nice shop! What the heck is that above the big door though?

I’m a sucker for old structures. Used to live in one with a detached surrey house for my shop and garage…. I miss it dearly. Great shop, and enjoy!

Oh, and you take the art of building bird houses to a new level! Great stuff.

John: I am new to lumberjack and i have checked out your bird houses and they are totally awsome. I have never seen anything like that in my life, they blow me away. You are definetly an artist with wood. I spent almost an hour looking at all those bird houses. And what i really llike was the doll house you built it was outstanding.

-- Monty Q, Columbia, South Carolina.

I agree with the others…love the shop and the room…but I REALLY love the “rustic” feel it has….almost like walking into a old fashioned wood shop.

-- Don S.E. OK

Thank you Monty and Don for the very nice comments .
