Time Well Spent...

I am trying like made to get the shop ready for winter. Here in Maine closing things up is really important, before the onset of the cold and wet weather to come. I have come across a pretty sweet cabinent. My sister's boyfriend was removeing some items from his house. One item was a cabinet that would work perfect as modeling and storage center. Its in the rough, but a coat of paint and some casters and I think it will be ready to roll. The best part of the cabinet is the fact it closes and I can use my woodshop without fear of covering my works in progress.

Welcome

Congrats you found it!

This is a blog about the search and discovery of my obsession with creating my personal workshop. I can say the place where I am now is the third incarnation of my work shop. The first was in a garage packed with my landlord's personal items. The second was massive space located in an old mill building in Biddeford, Maine. In this space I crafted some of the key fixtures I use every time I work on projects. However the winds of change blew in and...

When we bought our new home, we found a house with a little one car garage and a chicken coop like shed. I realized there was no point to owning a house and having to rent a personal shop elsewhere. As my father put it once, bored...buy a house it will give you something to do for a few years. So moved my shop, three truckloads of palletized stuff and equipment, to our new home. More about this subject later.

So I thought it would be cool to show off somethings I've made, like to make; as well as give some folks who know my Father and I's joint business, Tunk and Lead Backshop. Hopefully I can get feedback and help others like me who are just starting their tool addiction, I mean quest.
