    Think your shop is small?

    Here's a pretty inspiring story from Highland Woodworking's online mag: http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/w...uary/dilo.html

    This guy must have the patience of a saint...and not just because of the size of his shop or the type of work he does:
    • "...my wife granted me..."
    • "...she established strict rules for my woodworking routine..."
    • "...bothering my wife..."


    After reading the story, I can't help but think that a change in marital status might help unleash his full potential as an artist/craftsman

    Maybe I need a SMALLER shop after looking at some of his work!
    If you can read this you assembled wrong.

      Hmmm, no table saw, no band saw, no jointer or planer. And to top it all off, he didn't even mention pocket screws or biscuits. Yep, he's a woodworker by gum.

          I have about zero interest in the fancy stuff (preferring a much more basic look) but the craftsmanship is amazing. Very cool!

              If my wife saw that, she'd probably sell all my tools when I'm not home.

                + 1 and I have way more space jammed with a lot more junk to do inferior work!

                  that my friends is a master.......his wife needs to take a chill pill and let this man work full time. He could probably buy her, her very own clean room!
