How about posting some pictures of your shop when you get an opportunity?

Doug, this is a nice shop space that you have. The entrance to your shop is a wonderful touch that immediately sparks interest. If I were passing by I certainly would have to stop in and say hello. I like your shop layout as well. It is well lit, has plenty of natural light and, to me, has plenty of space to maneuver around in there. I can’t imagine what you are going to do with another 800 sq feet but I am sure you will manage to fill it up. The headroom that you have in there is something I would love to have in my shop!! And I have often wished that I had a stand alone shop like you do. You can run your power tools or finish a project without having to worry about disturbing other members of the family.

You have a nice collection of tools to play with as well and it looks like you have organized your hand tools and supplies well. Yes, you do have some dust and shavings in there but that simply makes a shop look like it is being used. I have to get the dust out of mine because if I don’t I get yelled at for “tracking sawdust in the house”. :)

Thanks for posting pictures of your shop. I enjoyed visiting it.

Hey Hunter,
Now that is one heck of a shop with some great gear to use….....excellent front verandah…....well done.

The entrerance is so interesting. The space no matter how much we have we want more! I would kill for that much room.

That’ a great shop. Some decent square footage.

Cool shop. I live in Clay, AL and get up to the Mentone area fairly regularly. I think I remember going by your building. It looks familiar.

Hunter, I love your shop and I love the way that you have done the outside with porch and all of the antiques, etc. It just looks like the friendliest place in the world. You have lots of nice tools and equipment and your projects are great. I love all of the miniatures that you have made. They’re too nice for toys but I sure would love to have some of them sitting on some of my shelves. Overall, it just looks like one of the most comfortable shops to work in that I have seen.

you have done well for yourself. i can only dram of having a shop that size at the moment. then again you have had a lot more time than i have to build it. my little shop must seem like a postage stamp compared to yours =)

Hunter,
I love Alabama, & your shop certainly represents the southern spirit. Looks like I could have a lot of fun tinkering in that shop, no doubt. God bless & good luck.
