The shop has been updated with some new tools, new-fangled bench, Air, dust filter, heat, air conditioning, and a few other things. Overall this was a great place to spend days in the winter.
It started out as a room full of junk and expanded to twice the size with insulation, wall board and paint. I had to remove a load bearing wall and put up a header so the room is now about 25×25 feet. The tools are a combination of new and refurbished old from when i built guitars for about 6 years back in the late 70’s.
Getting back in the game has been fun. And I don’t care what anyone says, organizing, and making the shop more ‘me’ is the most fun of all.

Daniel, you have a really nice shop. It is clean, well lit and organized. You have some nice tools in there as well. They may be “antiques” but they are good solid tools that have a lot of years left in them. I really like your wall storage system. Using french cleats to position the individual supports is a wonderful idea. It is a strong system that also adds a lot of flexibility to your tool storage.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed visiting with you in your shop.
