Since attending the ohio school hosted by Ian Pratt and Jim Kibler.
I went to work on the workshop/Mancave.
I thought I would take a photo as it might be the last time it is ever clean.

Heading south for a couple weeks to do some fly fishing.
Next project is better lighting.

The only needed is some wood chips on the floor. Nice shop

That looks pretty nice. Hard to beat good natural light coming through a window!

Forget the Coors and get some of Lem Motlow's Old No.7

There are all manner of beverage available.
Check the wall by the window.
A nice small bottle of bourbon and a small bottle of Clear stuff.

Also tea and coffee. Water boiling on the wood stove for tea the day I took the photo.
about 14 degrees outside.

Behind the pedestal with the vice. is a 4X6 piece of douglas fir, acting as a leg for the bench and attachment for the pedestal. It is inletted into 2X6 that has a 1X6 skirt on the front of the bench. FIVE deck screws attach the pedestal from the front. FOUR deck screws and two 4 inch lag bolts attach it from the back into the 3 inch thick base on the top.

It is pretty solid.

Looks like a fine place to make some chips and a fine place to tip a few with the boys and tell some huntin yarns.

are your walls insulated? What kind of wood are your vertical supports? Almost looks like walnut.

My shop had reached the disgust level, I couldn't even walk through it for the clutter. I decided enough was enough last week and built shelves, made a huge burn pile, sold a big planer that I didn't use and was in the way and mainly just put stuff up where it belonged.

I don't expect this condition to last but it sure is nice at the present, my squirrel rifle project is at the bench now.

I really like your shop...it looks like a small cqbin..love the wood burner, natural lighting and the whole feel of it....tell us more about the structure, I'm going to be building one very similar to yours, sooner or later.

The building was built by some amish boys.
The studs are rough 4X4 OAK. Sort of a quasi timber frame.
The exterior walls are 2X12 tongue and groove white pine.
Both the floor and ceiling are insulated.
The ceiling is 2X whatever Oak.
The windows are also by the amish community. single pain double hung.

The barn is actually 16 X 24 feet.
The work shop is half of that.

I get tons of compliments all the time on the vice.
I bought it right here on this forum. Maybe 5-6 years ago.
I no longer have the correspondence from the person who made the vice.
I am sure it was from the north east someplace. Maybe Maryland?

With somewhere to lay down, that is a pretty nice doghouse when someone gets in trouble with the lady of the house.

Pat that is one heck of a shop you have there.I wish I had one like that.

bones92 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2016, 06:05:02 PM »

I would love to have a shop like that, someday. I would be out there continually. When we move out of the subdivision onto some land someday, I will build one.

Daryl · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2016, 06:51:08 PM »

Pat - your shop is so homey looking. I would be especially nice to just sit around the stove with friends and jaw a spell, sipping back the suds - or other stuff. NICE!

The vise looks like a "Versa-Vise" with some sort of swivel base!
Like the ones I used to sell "Gun Builders Vise"
