Holy Smokes !

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have atomic sized envy my friend.

Your shop is a beauty !

This is certainly a nice shop that you have in which to work. It is spacious and has an abundance of natural light which I prefer to work under. It also appears to be well organized and you have put together a nice collection of tools.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed touring your shop.

Beautiful work environment. Light and spacious. Looks like a wonderful place to create…

OH yeah,
Great set-up with sweet toys to create with…sure like the port hole windows…nice nautical touch.
Plenty of space and light…well done.

Oooooohh, aahhhh. In my dreams perhaps.

Thats a good looking shop you’ve got there. Well deserved and used, judging by your work. I particularly like the veneer job on the centre door of the lathe cabinet.

Nice Shop – do you only use the wood stove for heat? Just wondering since you mentioned wintering in Arizona, if you had something else that kept the place from freezing up in the winter months.

You’re in a gorgeous spot, I have several aunts and uncles in Nanaimo and cousins all around the island in Campbell River and Parksville. All the rest are scattered from NWT to Ontario but mostly BC and a bunch in Alberta (Medicine Hat)

It’s a well insulated shop and doesn’t have any water plumbing. Glue has been OK in it over the winter unheated so I guess it doesn’t freeze in there. We don’t get much real frost here this close to the water and if an area is sheltered at all it won’t freeze up. We only started going to AZ a couple of years ago so the wood stove has seen lots of use. It’s the best shop heating, for my money. Give me a shout when you’re visiting the rellies.

Thanks for the offer of hospitality – if we are going up island I’ll give you a heads up!

Wow, looks like a really great space to make some sawdust in, Thanks for sharing, Steve in Oregon

-- Steve in Oregon,

Paul, your shop looks so nice and clean and you have so much room. It would be a pleasure to work in a shop like that. You have a lot of nice tools and equipment and it is very well organized.
