TheRock, OK, now we're all officially jealous. I'm not going to show you my messy & cramped workspace. Lynn

Hahaha! Like zarguy said, Duke, I'm just jealous. Not so much of the work space, but of the time available for my hobbies. Great looking shop! Thanks for sharing.

Man Duke, you collected the really old Wheel Horses. Love the old garden tractors, they were built to last. Funny how small most of the old ones were though, can’t imagine my big old self using one.

I have had a Few Guys stop by my Horse Stable This Guy Stopped by a few years ago He's A pretty good Pal O Mine!! Fred Young From yer State one Hell of a Drummer.

Ok the shop will be like a U or Horse Shoe shaped with 10' of workbench surface 24" wide on the left side under the cabinets dedicated to all my rock polishing tumblers and vibratory machines. Each machine will have a dedicated switch that will turn it off. On the far end will end up being 7' wide and will have two work positions for smithing, this work bench area will be 32" Deep and be constructed out of the shelf that ran the length of the room on the right side it will have a hardwood top. Coming back on the right side will be 2' wide 10' feet long of work bench area which will have my 8" King Cabber, Buffer, and high speed drill press. The Work surfaces on the left and right side of the room will be Harbor Freight # 69054 4 Drawer Hardwood Workbench. All surface holes will be plugged and there will be extra plywood reinforcement added per U Tube videos I have watched. I will not need the wood vice at the end so they will be removed. These were purchased 3 weeks ago on sale for $129.99 ~Duke

VEry jealous of all your space and cabinets. Also the Wheel Horses. I have one from 1968. It has been sitting outside for 2 years and probably very rusty and junk by now.

Cool WIP report! Keep the pics coming! I see you have the dog bed, that's really important. What are your plans for music source? And do you plan to solder at your smithing work benches, or in a separate spot? I find there is too much dirty dusty gunk generated from soldering so I like to work away from it. So excited for you!
