My heart goes out to you as you obviously have a serious addiction to old cast iron. But, as I know of no 12-step program aimed at curing this dependence, let me say "turn on, tune in and cut up".

Sweet. Like an oversized tool box. The "porch" is makes me want a beer at the end of the day.

An Icon for our times. The rising cost of materials and the shrinking wallets of my customers keeps my shop more quiet than i care for. I can see a whole series based on this theme. Well done.

nothing more elegant than a piece of Shaker work; perfect

as beautiful as the interior is, i'm blown away by the heart pine

Dean2 , absolutely beautiful bench. How often did you have to resharpen during it's construction? Incidently,I have a glass-blowing chum who works yearound in Birkenstocks!

Very nice table. Love the wenge bead contrasting with the cherry.

Bill, love the big assembly table in the middle of the shop. Mine doubles as an outfeed table for my cabinet saw. I have a hard time justifying the cost and time needed for making a traditional bench. You? Great shop and great location. your neighbor in Raleigh.

I'm constantly astounded by the imagination and inventiveness of New Yorkers. This has got to be the"A" train of wood shops. What could Ray do with some abandoned missile silo? Love it!

What a nice bench;purpleheart? Like my fellow poster, I envy your nest!

TOO nice; now you'll have to upgrade to a Sub-Zero beverage cooler.

I'm just imagining the sound of the tambour sliding up.I love it when someone finds a new route to an old destination. Plus elevating the humble flush ring pulls to high art. Sweet!

Great reinterpretation.

I'm of two minds about the subject. I loaned a friend my hammer drill and in return was treated to one of the best dinners I've ever had. On the other hand I once loaned a co-worker my best sash brush and was handed back something unrecognizable. After my vision cleared, I walked this fellow around the jobsite and asked the rest of the crew what they thought would be a just reward for such behavior. Luckily, this poor miscreant had just enough smarts to get the picture.
So, yes, neither a borrower nor lender be, but they are just tools. I'll never forget that bbq or the the kid who learned the lesson.

Great job, guys. May I suggest the addition of leveling feet. In my experience, concrete floors are rarely flat. In keeping with the simple and straightforward methods employed, 4 pilot holes and 4 lag screws will eliminate any wobble. T-nuts and rubber- footed inserts even better.
