    Thanks Frederick! This is kozo paper (mulberry bark paper) it's a type of washi paper.

    For the most part I work on the pictured bench.

    Jim, I like the ambidextrous bench. Have been giving it some thought myself.

    Before and after. I hope you can see a difference, because it took me all morning to clean it up and I've thrown away several bucket loads of rubish.

    Kees,

    That's a bad precedent for the rest of us.

    Well Kees, just remember that a clean shop is a sign of someone with too much time on their hands.

    I wish I could agree.

    Don't worry, I'm busy making a mess again! I really couldn't work like Brian. I have no idea how he manages to keep his shop that clean and ordered!

    It would seem that Igor has returned to work?

    I'd show you pictures, but it's too small to get my wood-and-brass 8x10 digital view camera in there.

    Andy, You have a very nice well appointed shop. I would like to have a place like that to work. Probably would be hard to get me away from the shop once I was in it.

    Brian It should be obvious to everyone by now that you have "Jeeves" in the background with a little broom and a silver dust pan that catches the shavings in mid air and immediately puts them in a sealed bag.

    Thanks Jim:

    This is my 3rd attempt at a workshop that's disability friendly/accessible....it's an old horse barn, now has a raised wood floor and the machine room is separated from the hand tool room.

    When I'm able, all my time is spent in the shop, since being wounded, my hobbies are few.

    I still build a few rifles/pistols, load ammunition and shoot, but even that is greatly reduced, and hunting is hard, but hand tool wood working is just a short trip to the shop.

    I call it distraction therapy, and it's a great solace to know it's there even when I'm not able to do it...

    Thanks again for the compliment, it took a long time to get to this point,
    Andy
