Many of you on here followed along/helped as I labored building and stocking my dream shop. Well, the time has come to sell it all off. This thread has not been created to discuss why, just to sell the tools that are left. For anyone interested, I've created a webpage listing all the...

Hours? Hmm...never took the time to do the math. Start to finish it took a little over 13 months. But there was time taken off during that period...for other smaller (money-making) projects...a short visit to the Ozarks...etc. There's really no way to tell how much actual time was spent on...

Well folks, the work finally ended on "IT". In fact, I delivered and got paid for it a few weeks ago. Time for the real thread title: Birth of a Jewelry and Lingerie Armoire Yup, that's what "IT" is...a Jewelry and Lingerie Armoire. I'm only going to post a few pictures here...

Well, I should have posted this a week or so ago, since that's when it was done....but 'better late then never'...:dunno: Some of you might recall the old farm bell Denise found half burried on our property when we were clearing the land for the shop: ......................... You might also...

For those of you headed to IWF, here's yet another reason to come down and visit us! :rofl::rofl: Our neighbor put a few .410 slugs into this beast Friday night as it was crossing the dirt trail into our house: .... I cut the 13 rattle tail off it thinking I'd leave the rest to the buzzards...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... It didn't rain all the way home! :doh::doh::doh: But, I'll bet if I hadn't done this: ...it would have! - Marty -

eBay did it to me again! :doh: There have been two pieces of equipment that I've been planning to add to the shop. Building Denise's recent cabinet drove the need for both of them home. The first is a pocket hole machine. I was forced to use biscuits to build the face-frame on Denise's...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Toni, I'm with you. Why should a pantry not get the same attention one would pay to the rest of the house? Now if only I had the time and money to pay that attention to the rest of the house!!!! :rofl: Art, Denise wanted that upper shelf left in...

As many of you know, I recently spent three weeks in Arkansas helping tod build new living quarters. Well, when I got back home I wasn't ready to dive back into "IT", so I took a few hours and built a set of shelves for the closet in Denise's office: Denise really likes the wild grain in the...

Well, as some of you now know, I've been very busy recently, and haven't had a chance to reply to this thread. Bill, I did indeed buy the exact mixer you're looking at. But... Jim, I didn't return it the next day. I set about 'fixing' it. It seems that that very first day, the machine...

tod's shop re-design part two.... Ok, so we had the basis for a functional bathroom done, along with provisioning for the plumbing to the kitchen...it was time to start framing the walls as they're shown in the Sketchup model. After about a hundred or so 2x4's, we had the exterior partition...

What we got accomplished... Well, I've finally (sort of) recovered :doh: from three (seven day) weeks of 16+ hour days of construction in Arkansas, so I can finally post some pics and text of what tod and I got accomplished in his shop... What we needed to do was to come up with a layout that...

Denise and I walked out onto the back deck at 5:00 this morning to have coffee before we each set about getting to work. Denise peered over at the pool steps and thought she saw something...it was still very dark out. Turning on the rear lights revealed that we had a visitor that had snuck...

Well, we had a successful launch this morning. There's a hillbilly somewhere betwix Jawjah and his quiltin' shop. Just prior to the launch sequence, we all headed out to the shop for the obligatory 'family visit' shot: And of course, while I was getting the camera and tripod ready, Larry...

A hard day at The Studio... Well, Larry and I had a tough day. We worked on staining a board or two, we got a piece of veneer bookmatched and shoved in the bag. And then...we decided it was too much work so we... grabbed a couple poles, a bucket o'worms...and we went fishin! And we...

Inviting Larry to stop by the shop for a visit during his road trip reminded me of something... Denise and I had the absolute pleasure of having our dear friends Kurt and Lois Chalmers visit the shop recently. I think they now hold the record for the longest travel to come see the shop. They...
