Robert, that is spectacular! A very nice testament to patience, planning and a joy for good craftsmanship.

As others have written; very inspiring! Thanks for taking us along on the journey.

(PS, I got a chuckle from the photo that showed a cat laying in a window!)

No need to play the lotto. The total cost was right at $20K. I have no intention of ever leaving. This is home.

Outstanding.

Rome was not built in a day. :D Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you earn it. ;D

You didn't post the size. So, how big? Anything you would change? Very nice shop.

32'x40' with 12' ceilings. The office is 12'x12' with an 8' ceiling. The loft above the office will be used for lumber storage. So far the only thing I wish I had done differently is to have installed LED lighting instead of fluorescent.

Nice job, best project I've seen in a while. Looks more like a cabin than a workshop. It'll be pure pleasure working in there.

They now sell led bulbs that will fit in your fluorescent lights.

Very nice, an inspiration to some of us procrastinators.

Is that a mini-split for heating and cooling?

stihltoomany · June 26, 2016, 10:46:22 PM

All the above x10. Great job. I'm real jealous. Beautiful work.

Yes. It is an LG unit mounted 10' above the floor. Fortunately it has a remote. ;)
I have been very pleased with it. I installed it Oct. 2015 and the climate control allowed me to finish boards throughout the winter months.

Impressive! Great job!

autotomk · June 28, 2016, 06:17:35 AM

After seeing all that hard work Robert, I'm exhausted!

You are a true craftsman.

Great job. When I get ready for mine I know who to call to build it.

Waterford Woodworks · July 03, 2016, 07:20:26 PM

That is awesome. I don't know how you have the time. Do you have any kids? Need one more?

dean herring · July 03, 2016, 09:41:30 PM

No kids at home and I don't need any at this time. :D I enjoy working with my hands and if I sit for more than a few minutes I fall asleep. So, I hardly watch any TV.
