Finally got my shop addition finished and everything moved in. I have so much more room for my lathe now, I just love it. I thought I'd share some pics. Thanks for looking.

Chris,

Very nice, It is always wonderful to have a nice spacious organized place to work. I am also very envious of your air conditioner.

Congrats on the additional space. It looks great. I am sure you will enjoy it. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish my shop looked like that. I have a metal building with no air conditioning in North Carolina. This time of the year the outside temp is in the 90's with humidity to match that.

Congats Chris,
Your new workspace is looking good!
You seem to have a PEEP.
(a place for everything, and everything in it's place)
That's something I can only dream about...

Enjoy your new shop addition, and be sure to share a peek of your creations with the Creek.

Oh no... Don't look now... but someone just stole your chisel holder!
(sweet, I'll post pics when I build mine)
happy turning,
be well,
Walt

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I'm really enjoying it. I still have a couple things to do. I'm going to put the TS and planer on wheeled bases to make it easier to move them to the middle of the room to use. The TS has a dust chute and with the door open it shoots most of the chips right out the doorway.:D
Thanks again!

Sweet looking shop! I would kill to have that much space. Only good can come out of this.

Just a question tho:confused:. At the end of your post you have a quote that says "What! There's no coffee!!?" and yet, nowhere do I see a coffee pot!:rolleyes:
