Ian and Gary changed up the format a bit this year and progress is phenomenal. Things are going so much better.

I've seen photos of the workshop that show benches and vises on what seem to be uncovered areas, or on porches. Is that right? How's that work in bad weather?

Crazy thing called 'tarps' - yesterday in a deluge, I tapped my bench and  did some more stock layout and measuring in the cabin. Weather passed and I kept at it.

If it ain't raining we ain't training came to mind.

What exactly do you want pics of? Herschel's onw shop is on small log cabin he made his guns in. Everything else is a work station here and there spread out through various buildings. I will post a few pics of examples later on.
