Default Remodeled Shop

Here's a couple pictures of what's been taking up my time this summer,this is why I haven't been on the site lately,and also this is the reason I didn't finish anything for the Congress.But now it almost done and I can carve again.Its also done in time for a fall seminar,Hope you like it Vicki and Phil.
1) A new set of Oak Cabinets
2) my new work bench,and "Wall of Fame(or shame how ever you look at it)
3)My new Sharpening Station.

Mark, I think you are going to have to come up with a better name than "shop". This is certainly more than a "shop". How about "Craving Studio". Very nice! There will be a refrigerator, won't there? If I had something that nice, my kids would probably want to come back home and move in....

Me so green - with envy! ;-) Really nice shop area there Mark. I've GOTTA get the 1100 board feet of oak trim stained & installed to clear my "shop" (garage) and finally get my carving & sharpening area set up. I've got my old beat up kitchen cabinets hung out there and small counter area using the old kitchen formica counter. But I have so much crap piled in my gara - I mean "shop" that I can barely move around in it. Heh heh. Ah well - eventually! Still - it won't be anywhere near as nice as yours. Great job Mark.

Nice shop Mark, where's the chips that are supposed all over the place?
I too am very jealous, do you think if I told my wife about it, I could have one just like it. I would even settle for one air conditioner.
You are one lucky guy.

Hi Mark,

Great shop. It looks almost exactly like mine, except for the cabinets, sharpening station and A/C. Oh yeah, and yours is indoors and you have a wall of fame. Very nice.
