I can't imagine the feeling and sense of loss. The monetary loss is enough but to loose all of your time and effort,too much to consider. I had a small fire in my shop recently, but I caught it in time! The cause was a short in a magnetic switch to my thickness planer. The shop was full of soot, smoke and moisture. Remediation helped some (6 people for two days wiping) but the ozone generator to relieve the terrible smell only rusted all of the bare iron surfaces(table tops chisels, clamps, etc.) Good luck on resuming your work Malcolm G
