Hi,
On Jan 25th I posted here that the construction of my new shop had started. It has taken around 3 months to finish since work happened mostly during the weekends. That has been the main reason for my absence from this forum....
Here are some pics of the construction process:

There were some pitfalls in the way, like the time when the construction contractor blamed the welding contractor when his level got lost. The evidence of the innocence of the welding guy was obvious:

At the end, after 3 months of hard work and a few thousand dollars less in my pocket, voila!:

Of course, I wouldn't place here a pic without the wood already organized and all the trash being picked up! It took a complete truck of trash!!!!
I started moving the machines in without having the electrical installation already being done....

And a little hand organizing the small stuff...

Any way, I can't complain when I have a little stock of Cocobolo to turn:

I had mixed emotions when I saw my old shop emptied like this....

.... Well, it was good that I came back to take the pic... I didn't want to leave some extra stuff behind!!!!
Now, the electrical installation has already being done and I'm working on the shelves. I'll post the final pics when done!
I'll keep you updated with the last chapter of this journey!
