Lol…its not really THAT small…the picture is the cathouse shown in the video.
OK…I figured that I would make you all feel good by comparison. My shop “workshopette” my wife calls it, is about as small as you can go and still call it a shop. I do manage to build some fun stuff though. The morris chair is underway and a stand up paddleboard paddle for my brother is going to start soon.

That was a nice turning on the lathe. What is it for? My father has a miter box the same as the one you cherished that your grandfather and father used. You have a lovely garden, deck and the water sounded very relaxing as you crossed the bridge. Thanks for the tour.

Lol…I posted the video here by mistake then posted it to the blogs. Sorry for the confusion…deja vu, all over again.
The lathe turning was just something I was messing around with trying out the lathe. I tried turning a piece of Lyptus but the belt was wrong and it started slipping. I need to get some new parts for the lathe but it should be very servicable. I picked it up for $30 with a box of about 10 nice turning gouges and 5 carving chisels….gotta love a find like that.

Bob,
I think my shop is about the same size as yours. It’s amazing that we can build anything, but then we are blest to have a shop of any size.

I love my shop when the weather is good. When its not I have to limit what I work on. I would love to have the layout space, a bench, multiple workstation setups and all that but I would still need to be able to open the shop up enough to bring the outdoors in. Nothing like a cool breeze blowing through.
