Scott -

Great video, cool creative space, and excellent shop tour! I can almost smell the sawdust and finish!

Thanks Scott… It was fun to see your shop.. I am not sure I could go subterranean. You did a great job narrating.

Styrofoam next to the furnace sounds pretty dangerous to me! Fire hazard, I’m sure!

You have pretty of lumber around, time for you to build somemore projects!

Stop it…Stop it…you’re making me dizzy! LOL.

Hilarious! Thanks for the tour. Now I’ll have to clean the garage…

Thanks for the tour Scott. Now I can tie a voice to your face, & writing.

You’re young yet, & have many years ahead of you to get your shop organized., & you have a lot more equipment to work with, than I had at your age.

Looks don’t count in a shop anyhow, it’s what you can make in it that counts.

thank you for the tour!! I really enjoyed it.

Os, I didn’t know styrofoam was a fire hazard. Thanks for the tip.

Styrofoam is safe after covering with sheet rock, but bare it’s inflammable.

Scott I suggesr an exterior air intake to your furnace. I did mine with 2” PVC pipe. It’s less likely to draw sawdust into the burners. Air intake is code in most communities.

An exterior air intake eliminates drafts in your house, because you don’t have negative air pressure when your furnace is running. It also saves on the heat bill.

Wonderful shop Scott. Great “stash” of wood. It must be great for a cold wintry day. Thanks for sharing. I’m very dizzy now for some reason…......

Cool tour, a lot has changed since I last saw it.. Thanks for the video.

Favorite quote, “It works. It hasn’t killed me.” That is the true “basement” shop. Thanks for taking the time to make the tour!

The Styrofoam once covered the entire ceiling, held in place with drywall screws – caused many a head injury before I ripped it all down. It is only there while I turn or use the disc sander (and the thing isn’t running)

Thanks for that advice Dick, I’ll be asking them about that when they come back for the Fall cleaning.

I like the creepy stairs, looks like something from an old horror flick..

Many aspects of the basement can be very scary… I didn’t mention the basement addition off the back corner. spoooky!

I imagine that this’ll look very different when you’re next in our neck of the woods Rob, Perhaps we should to a tag team video while your here? “How Not to use a lathe”, or “bolo ball tips and tricks”?

AHA!... now the video is a little bigger… easier to read the random bits of text I cleverly posted to disguise any mistruths, or moments I misspoke…. cleverly hiding problems by calling attention to them!

Thanks to a little help from Mot, and some advice from our beloved whisperer of wood… you can actually read the text, and the resolution is way better.

Watch it again, for the first time!

I went downstairs last night with my little one, and she happily proclaimed “I’m in the movie!”
