Re: UPDATE: 2011 Fine Woodworking Archive DVD-ROM (1975 - 2011)

I've always loved to hold the real thing in my hand, but my collection is so large that my wife is pressuring me to cut back on my multible collections. The price has come down and I am considering putting the paper up for sale and getting the X and O addition. Keep up the good work.

Re: UPDDATE: Shop Improvements: Outstanding ideas from the world's finest woodworkers from Fine Woodworking magazine

Although my shop is also my mancave, I need all the help I can get to get to the point where I can spend less time cleaning up to have more time to build things.

All my old buddies never thought that I was grovey - guess I showed them.

Re: UPDATED: Giveaway and Poll: The Most Requested Woodworking Gifts of 2009

I have some hand tools from Dad, uncles and friends who have passed. When I use them it brings back memories of them from the past. This has led to my asking friend to trade tools now so that we will think of each other down the road. Merry Christmas and pease to all.

Re: Take a peek inside my shop

My shop is also 24x32, but I have a 5x7 combo bathroom/library tucked under a stair which leads to an yet to be completed 18x32 area used now for lumber storage and general housewhole storage,one day its going to become design area for me and painting area for my wife.
I also used osb as my wall covering and painted it an off white. Am still after eight years working on more efficient use of the space and keeping it clean between projects. I hope to build an outside storage wall along my back fense to store more offcuts, lumber and projects waiting for repair. I also have a number of old power tools waiting repair. I love the dusty and being used look of your shop.
