Welcome to my work place.

Its a small company of currently with eight employee’s. Four full time builders (LJs woodwkr), two full time finishers and two full time office personal.

We do a wide varity of projects. Kitchens, vanties, furniture or all kinds, banks and office interiors. We work with designers and archietects as well as individuals. We also have our own in house designer.

Like I’ve said many times before I’m consider myself lucky to be able to do not only my hobby, but what I love to do and get paid for doing it. The following pictures are of our work place, I thought some of you might enjoy seeing where some of the projects come from that woodwkr and I have been posting.PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Well now I understand. ANYbody could turn out work like yours if he had a shop like that. <g>

Seriously, it is indeed a lucky man who gets paid to do what he would do for free. Very nice operation you have there, Les.

Eh, it’s OK I guess.

OK, who am I kidding. I’d relinquish body parts for the chance to work in a shop like that! ;)

I really admire your bigger operation. I am getting wore out by working by myself. It would be great to surround myself with talented people to work for me.

You wouldn’t have to look far for a show of hands Todd.

Great shop/office. What a place to spend the day.

Lesl,

This is a great looking shop and I did notice some sawdust on the floor as well. You wouldn’t need someone to clean up would ya?

Seriously you are blessed to have such a gift and to be able to live your dream as well.

Thank you for sharing this small piece of yourself with us.

Great shop, Les. It seems to have everything it needs without a bunch of unneeded machines in the way. It’s great to have room to operate. I’ve been impressed with the products that come from this shop.Thanks for the post.

Incredible place you’ve got there. Love the huge veneer press(es?)...I used to work in a shop some 15 years ago with a large table like that. Sadly I haven’t seen one since.

Thanks for sharing, Les!
