Sam Shakouri's Workshop

Sam, you have built yourself a pretty nice shop. Having a shop like this frees you from being dependent upon the weather to do your woodworking. It has plenty of room for the woodworking that you do and it is well organized.

Thankis for the pictures. It looks like your shop would be fun to work in.

Great job, it looks like a great little place to turn. As long as the weather is pleasant enough. in your location, a great place, Thanks for posting.

A little space is far better than no space. And it is a great thing that you used reclaimed lumber to do the job too! I love seeing good useful wood recycled instead of just being burnt or sent to the landfill.

Very unique, thanks for the tour.

I bet that’s one of your favorites places to be, and that makes it a great place!
Your excellent work speaks for itself!

You are a very determined man. Now, the next person that we see that says but i don’t have anywhere to put a lathe we know where to send him. Very ingenous. I was 54 before I had a shop at home. I worked in an open carport and in the yard before that. You know, you’ve given me an idea here. I’ve got a small midi lathe at home and that’s all the room that I have. However, I have a powermatic lathe at work. Now I might be able to build a shed for it at home. I’ll think on it.

Just wandering around, looking at buddies’ shop or no shop. Spotted yours, small but productive. Much much smaller but cooler than mine maybe. I always get discourraged, esp. during the hottest day.
Good luck buddy!
