New Shop

[dave_person]

Hi Folks,
I haven't shared this on this forum yet. Attached are photos of the shop I built at my new home in Braintree, Vermont. It is the culmination of a dream. I also included a couple of photos of my latest project which will go to a dear friend in Alaska. Finally, I added a photo of the view from my shop last fall.

Envious -

but you could have "decorated" by throwing some sawdust around a bit. :grin:

Hi Graham,
I invite you to visit. I am not that far away. We have a lot in common to discuss.

I envy your shop... and your VIEW!!!

Very nice shop you have there, but your dog says its too cold and can we move to Florida? :grin: .

Nice shop.

From the looks of that fine rifle and lack of woodstove you are a confident builder.

Mine's not so nice, but I got plenty of dry kindling to start another project in a warm shop.

Curious, what's the small oven for?

Nice shop.


Curious, what's the small oven for?

My guess would be "baking chocolate chip cookies" - building gives you the munchies :rotf:

Hi,
The oven is for baking scones. Actually, it is a burn-out oven with a programmable controller that I use for metal casting and heat treating gun parts. I can color-caseharden parts using it as well.

Nice! :thumbsup:

That's a good lookin' rifle you got goin' there too.

 

[kaintuck]

You have a shop buddy.....that's THE most important thing there!
Nice work on the shop and rifle! Many nice things and memories will come from your shop!


But you can keep that snow :shake:

Nice shop :bow: The dog looks like he wants to go out to take a dump, but decided it's just too cold! :haha:

Very nice shop! Looks like plenty of work space. Beautiful windows to give natural light and view.I could live in there.

 

[Lock Nut]

Your lucky to live in such a beautiful area.
I miss the mountains out there.

You could have given me a bib warning...now I have drool all over my shirt :grin:

What's all that white stuff ???

 

[Swamp Rat]

Probably a neighbor with a cotton jin, I was wondering the same thing, what is that white stuff on top.
Very nice shop, every time I think of building one, a Kid needs something like a car or a wedding so I keep putting it off.

I don't think I could work there. I would be afraid of making a mess. It certainly seems you have no problems working there (perhaps you also know how to use a broom) . Your friend should be very proud having a rifle like that, very well done.

" It is the culmination of a dream"

You can tell a lot about a guy by his dreams. Some fella's want a Harley, or a high maintanence trophy wife or a bigassed boat. I think you will get more hours of satisfaction from your new shop. Good for you

 

[Rifleman1776]

Very fine, for sure. :hatsoff:
Something about a shop that clean that seems just wrong to me, though. :shake:
Note, you have a lathe. That means you are one of the good guys. :wink:
Did you build the workbench? I like it almost as much as the rifle.
Congrats, despite the snow, I'm sure you will enjoy it for a long time.
