Tim,
       Great shop!  I like the yellow pine flooring.  Beats that hard on your legs and feet concrete floor in my basement.  I know you will enjoy having your space to work.  Must feel like a huge improvement over the kitchen table.   Good luck and enjoy,  Mike

Dr. Tim Boone, as they say in my neighborhood "that's way to good for you" ;) Very nice shop, it is hard to concentrate when one is cold, hot, and or bug bitten.  :) Tim

I:m casting my vote on the still.  Making flintlock rifles and Bourbon just seem to go together.

I'd like to see 'before' and 'after' pictures, just as a reality check.

Boy just another day to say thank you God. I dont have  a wife to get  in my way or to try and share space with. I used to feel deprived what with living in an apartment and only having 2 bedrooms and a living room to keep all my archery and gun hobbies in. Now I feel blessed!!!!! Good for  you your a better man than I am. I traded off my wife for a longbow 48 years ago and have never looked back. FRJ

I once had a place like that.  I spent 3 months and alot of money getting it just the way I wanted it.  I even had cable and internet access (in the days before wifi).  2 or 3 months after it's completion and my enjoyment someone"suggested" that we move to a place where the kids could play outside.  Now I work out of my cold overcramped garage.  On the plus side, I think it helped sell the old place quickly.  Mitch took one look at my man cave and stroked a check a short time later.  So recently a gentleman wanted to by my cut stones from
an old house.  He was a timberframer and we talked a deal for a 12 x 16 timberframe workshop (frame only) (just under the taxable size)  When I suggested a second outbuilding on our property, someone had a strong reaction.  So I negotiated 16 x 12 portion of our basement for a new shop instead.  Now don't misunderstand,  I love her very much.....Anyway, congrats and enjoy, but don't spend too much time in there or "someone" will object.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Tim - a suggestion...try using lithium white grease for transfer colour rather than Jarrow's inletting black.  It won't show us so badly on the furniture.

Give'er 6 months. I'd be afraid to build in there.

All kidding aside that's cool Tim.

I think it's wonderful that your lady wants you where she can enjoy your company and you can enjoy hers. That is the makin's of great harmony

The dust? well maybe it's time to rig some hoses to that big shop vac behind the little door!

A great adventure for sure.
 
I would bet, that is where the Louisville slugger came from!! ;D ;D 

If you need some suggestions on a still, My grandfather used to use a pressure cooker on the stove.   ;)
