La Cave

Hey that looks great…it’s nice to have that room below your shop. I wish I had an area like that but
then I probably would use it to store wine then anything I veneered would look good…at least for a
little while. Cleaning the shop and rearranging it to make it more productive seems to be a never ending
project!!
Good luck with all that veneer, I know you will make something beautiful.

A creative and good solution Paul. Having seen your work for a few years now I don’t think you need any luck with this fine veneer, but you certainly have my good wishes for your future projects with it, and I can’t wait to see what you do with it.

i THINK YOU CAN USE THE “GOOD STUFF” !!! you do lovely work..go for it!

Great idea Paul,but what happens when 96sq.ft. turns into 960 sq ft. You know these things can happen LOL I wish I had that crawl space under my shop, I was just thinking I have to find a good space to start storing my veneer. That is some sweet looking veneer and I look forward to see what it becomes.

Good solution Paul. I was lucky. We have a space that’s part of our basement we call “The bowling alley” and was used as a wine cellar by the previous owner.

Wasted space is a sin.
You have redeemed that secret spot for a special service.
Good job Paul.

well from me to you, your good enough to use this stuff, of coarse we all have more to learn in our own worlds of woodworking, but yea, i love this idea, i take it these areas are sealed off from any vermin and insects…its a great idea…i remember seeing the video of how they mill this veneer , is there not a way to do it over here in the states…i take it that because of its thickness its to expensive to use on the level that veneer is used today, it all adds up, 1/32, a 1/64..im looking forward to seeing what you have planned…are you selling or going to sell.

Good storage solution, Paul. That stuff is like gold!!

“Le Vault” is perfect use of Le Space. You could even store other less used tools/materials. Maybe even a cot.

I just realized that I didn’t mention the other three are at the other end of the opening. Both are pictured but the only way to notice is that there is different veneer in each.

Bob, no vermin can get in down there and we don’t have (bad) bugs on Vancouver Island. They aren’t allowed.

Paul, the shop is 30’ X 40’ . I’m only using up two areas of 4’ X 4’ each. The rest of the racks may have to be on casters though. ...... :-)

Good Luck!

You really didn’t me (us) to say that though…

You were ready for the Good Stuff a long time ago!

NOT to worry… Just let it all hang out… Like you always do! :) LOL

You ARE ready… So, just do it!

Thank you!

To the bat cave, Robin! BANG! POW! SHAZAM!

Interesting solution. Will there also be a spot reserved for the wine collection?
How will the temp/humidity compare to your workshop?

Sir, if you’re not good enough to use the good stuff, I probably should quit altogether. I am sure you will amaze us all.

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

Nice use of space and a neat creative solution…you have enough room down there for a lot more veneer!

You have been ready to use the “good stuff” for a long time already Paul! Don’t let anything stand in your way!
