I don't know Eric, that looks suspiciously like a store not a shop. We'll have to ban you for that! We don't allow errors.

Pretty cool digs all right. Just the thing for wowing the tourists, eh? What ever it take to allow you to do what you want. So can't you make product in the off season, and then just sell and put on a little show when customers come by?

Here's hoping I managed to attach a pic of my shop sucessfully.

Deb shot the pic while I was finishing up putting the roof on it. The house is in the background.

not sure ime gona put it in there ... might put it in temporary to try it out but will be able to put a line shaft in and power my hacksaw and grinder and possably a lathe i picked up that has 4x4 s for the bed but has a 3 jaw chuck ... good for simple turning and possably metal spinning .. ime also going to put down pavers everywhere ! i like the feel underfoot of pavers ... its harder than dirt and less likeley to loose things in but not as hard on your feet as concrete ...anyway gona change a lot of things and increase my retail space also setup a welding station behind things (mostly for makeing brands) .. anyone has interesting equipment run on flat belts ime looking for more...

Looks good, I bet you fill that space pretty quick. Your shop reminds me of our out door shop at our museum, yours is much neater.
