I live just outside Meteghan across the road from the Meteghan River in a little town called Bangor. My ‘workshop’ is actually a corner of my kitchen and my front porch. I do all the major dressing of the wood at a dear friend’s shop in Digby, which is about 30 minutes North on Rt 101. Since I do mostly smaller projects, this setup actually works fine for me right now, as my main tools that I use are the scroll saw, drill press, router, Dremel, hand-held orbital sander, and miter saw.

OK, Guys! You guilt-ed me into it! It isn’t much, but it works for me. Anyway, it is the best I can do for now. :) I wrote more about it in my blog (#9).

Sheila, as I said in your blog this is a really nice shop space. I have often said that any shop is a good shop and yours certainly is no exception.
Thanks, again, for allowing us to visit with you.

WOW….I couldn’t keep my shop that clean…even if I never used it…LOL. That looks like a nice cozy niche, and you must be very organized. Just shows that if you are dedicated enough to this craft…then you will find a spot to work in….no matter what the size or other difficulty. Thank you for sharing your shop with us.

Thanks everyone! :) <—>t have to watch commercials and can watch when we want. I listen to music mostly anyway and also have that all on my computer. Between the two of us we have over 8000 tracks and videos. :)
I guess the trick with having a small space is to keep it neat. It only takes a couple of minutes and really pays off. I went to the link Dennis suggested (thanks, Dennis!) and saw the other small shop and loved it. It was also very neat. I, myself would rather spend my time scroll sawing than looking for tools and stuff!
Thanks to everyone for the nice encouragement. I really appreciate it!
Sheila
