Ok I've been off work for a few weeks now and while I've been cutting and polishing I kept looking at my shop and thinking it could be better. So I ripped out some old display cabinets and got some new lumber and built some shelves and added more lights.

My Rock Shop - is just a small 10x20 foot building off my parents house. Since I'm more internet based and appointment only I keep my retail space to a minimum. The pictures below show my finished results after a couple days. This is actually phase 1 of 2. Once I get more time I plan to build another large shelving unit on the other wall.

Donnie - The beads in the case are bracelets. My girlfriend has a friend from Canada who does bead work - she asked if we could try and sell some items for her... So I was happy to try and help. I was surprised several things have already sold, but these are the last 3 left.

Thanks for the comments folks. Nothing too fancy - just some cheap lumber some hours and paint. However I think it really gave me more room. Now I have to get really busy and try to polish enough items to stock my shelves.

Beefjello - Yes that is a oil painting a good friend of mine gave me. It's a painting of a pile of rough rock. He said he got it years ago. It's really cool and makes a great center piece.

Yuri - Thank you! I am still waiting for my copy of the book. My book was being sent directly from Johann, rather than Thegemshop. So unsure when it'll get here. I have had several emails about it though lol.... I'm dying to see it. A good friend of mine sent me a scan of the layout - however it was a German copy, so I cannot read the text. lol

Any rate - I'll get it sooner or later :-)
