   That is really fantastic, Garry.  Can't believe no one else is commenting -- must be hung over from the 4th BBQ!!  I'll bet your daughter is really proud.  With that incredible view through the windows, your shop must be a pleasure -- beauty inside and out.

   One image I was hoping to find on the web site was a close-up of the bottom trim on the window.  Any chance of posting one here?

   He's gotten some comments in the gallery...My goal is for my work to outlast me.  Expect my joinery to get simpler as time goes by.

   She loves to spend time in the shop when she comes home for visits.

   Here's the link for the construction detail of the drawer bank at the bottom of the window.http://www.superwoodworks.com/Projects/WindowDrawers.htm

   Garry,

   I looked at all of the photos of your shop. Felt like I had died and gone to woodworking heaven. You have done what any great artist should do for others -- expand their aspirations. Your shop compares to most shops as Versailles compares to most buildings.

   Hello Garry,
   Off topic, but I looked at the photos of the inside of your shop. Impressive.I saw the ceiling mounted heater. I am planning on using the same type in my new shop. My shop is 24x36; half with a ceiling height of 9' and half with 14'. 2200 cu.ft. Could you let me know if you're happy with it? How powerful is it, and how large is your shop? What is the brand, and where did you get it?

   I have a Hot Dawg from Modine - very happy with it and it gets my 22 x 22 shop toasty warm in no time.Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral. Frank Lloyd Wright

   I am very happy with the little heater. It does not have a brand name anywhere that I can find and I cannot remember the watts. I picked the heater up at Menard's building center for about 200.00 originally to be used only temporarly but after I recieved my first electic bill(I only pay onec a year in August) I decided this would stay as my main source of heat.

   I have a 28x40 building with 9 foot ceilings and it does a good job as long as I do not shut it off in the winter. I also have a ceiling mounted radiant heat lamp over the construction area but I usually only use that if I am carving and am not moving around much.

   I would think that with a 14 foot ceiling on the one side you may need more than one heater.

   Hope I have been of some help.
