    My First Work Ship

    Last summer when I joined this forum I introduced myself as a retired 53 year old new woodworker. After watching woodworking for over 25 years I decided to start doing as much as watching. My LOL was so thrilled to get me out of my office in front of the computer that she gave me a budget and said set up a shop and start cutting wood. After many starts and stops due to two surgeries and now 54 years old my shop is set up. I have even made some saw dust and a lot of fire wood. So finely here are some pic of my shop.

    WorkShop 007 (600 x 450).jpg

    WorkShop 006 (600 x 450).jpg

    Glad you stuck with it but the pictures are so small It's hard to get a good view of the shop and when I try to click on em to make em larger I get this message.

    Well I don't know what the problem was but they can be viewed just fine now. I love the space you have. Looks like you've left room for a nice lathe..

    Don, you have set up a very nice shop in a very short time!
    Having the support of the boss sure speeds things up!
    Please help support the Creek.

    Don,

    A good looking shop. Looks like it is well planned, with a lot of space. Do I see an item or two from Steve's Wholesale Tools?

    Hi Don,
    I really admire your shop, and I'm a bit envious of this retirement thing, too. Good luck, John.

    Cleaned it up for the pics. You should see it when I am working on something; when finished it takes a whole day to clean.
