Hi Garry,
Love the attention to detail in your shop as well as all your other projects. Excellent work. Dovetailed shed base? That about says it all ;) Excellent work.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow!!! That's simply beautiful. Are you sure that's
your shop. I was just patting myself on the back for finishing out the
windows in my shop. I'm embarrassed to even show anyone after seeing
yours. Great job, thanks for posting the pics. I may have to take the
casing off of mine and try something a little more artsy like you did.
Again, beautiful job!

Garry -
Your window treatments are fabulous, and so inspiring! I'm trimming all the windows in the house and have been casting about for something different. Now I'm thinking about birdhouses over the kitchen windows . . .Thanks for sharing all your great shop ideas!

You just blew the socks off me and
about 50 other guys! Really nice work.
Welcome to the forum. That is one awesome shop.

Garry – what an incredible shop – wow! Will you be posting more
pictures of both the external & internal layout in the future? Your
architectural approach for your shop building is what I have been looking
for a long time. I can imagine myself never wanting to leave a place like
that!

As a former woodcarver, I appreciate your work here. Isn't it peaceful to carve? Are the birdhouse corner blocks an original idea of yours? VERY clever. - JB

Reach around ang give yourself a big pat on the back.
It must be enormously pleasant to while away the hours in your shop; some
will say it is better to invest time/effort in the pieces coming out of
the shop -- rather than the shop itself. But I think expending this kind
of talent and effort is a wonderful investment toward creating a special
work environment.
And that's a great sanding bench too. Did you take any pics along the
way that would show us how you put it together?
Thanks for sharing your work.

What a fine way to show your craftsmanship in your shop. You're a talented designer and woodworker.
Namaste,
Gary

Don'tcha just hate shops that look so
darned good that you would feel bad messing up?
Gorgeous work! Those window casings are a work of art...
------------------
Why do they call it a WORKshop if I go there to have fun?
|
|
Wow that's a great bench are you going
to be posting more pics of it on your website. Fantastic work and the
shop I always dreamed of owning jealous in Burlington Ontario. Thanks

You know, that has got to be the greatest sanding table. I hope you don't
mind but I am going to save the picture....

All I can say Garry is WOW!, that's too pretty to use Great job, If it
works as good as it looks there won't be a speck of dust in your shop.
Thank's for sharing with us.

Thanks!! After your wonderful post on the window treatments, I was
definitely interested in your sanding station. Question...when the dust is
drawn to the fan, its captured by the fiter, correct? Do you just empty
the filter after each use??
I love the curve treatments on the drawers and the front cover. The
pegboard/plywood top is very clever.
Thanks for the post!!!

Wow, great stuff. Is the sanding table your
design?
|
|
There's a workshop in that picture? I couldn't take my eyes off of that
gorgeous bench.

Sneaked a peak earlier of your shop. Very nice. The sanding
bench and windows were awesome. Welcome and thanks for sharing.
