Looks like your cleaning lady went off on a holiday adventure, and forgot to come back.

The funny bent wood and metal concretion looks upside down, but someone has been doing some very nice work on it.

Shop looks just fine to me……very familiar looking as a matter of fact.

Trigger guard looks good being inlet now and I like the hand forged trigger. Wood grain on the patch block lid matches the alignment in the stock very well. Angle of the patch box lid looks good to my eye but is a little bit wide. Are you thinking of making it smaller by chance?

So many tools. Is that a particle accelerator I see in the background?

Getting serious now ( my shop looks like I’m angling for FEMA funds so disregard previous comment). My only comment ( which is not a criticism but a question). Is there a little concave section at the front, lock side of the comb….(looks like it in pic).   If it’s  prominent, I would minimize a little, but that is my preference, nothing else.
 You are doing a super job !   Keep it up ( I think I would come over for lessons if you were close)

The gun is outside my scope of study, but the shop--I'd feel quite comfortable in. You've still got some room in yours.

Yip there is Lehigh with wood box on Morphy’s Auction site, the Bill Myers collection, lot#1018. It would be helpful for you to take a look at this lid.
