Avid golfer no longer able to play returned to woodwork as a hobby and wish I'd never left. Typical tool junkie as well but really get a kick out of hand tools. I build mostly for myself but am told my work would sell. To date I have only done custom pieces for friends. Not interested in a production shop ...Exotic one offs is more my style.

Re: workbench

I've seen variations on this theme but not this simple and clean. I'd say you nailed spot on. My choice in the future if you don't mind.

Re: CNC is Knocking on Your Shop Door. Will You Answer?

No I would not. I laugh everytime I see the guy in one of those adds. At Lowes I see bird houses I couldn't build at their price using scrap lumber...nor want to. The stuff I build looks like SOMEONE built it. Having gotten back into woodworking after 35yrs as a whit collar guy I had to rebuild my tool inventory. I'm leaning more towards HAND tools than power. But if I had to make a production run than of course CNC etc. is the way to go. I just don't use woodworking and "production run" in the same sentence or thought. For me woodwork is a very tactile activity. CNC is what my machinist nefew does building racing motors not wood furniture. Many times I don't even stick to my own drawings how can I "progam" a piece wood?
