Hello folks,
New to the WR. I have learned a lot from all the post. The photos are great. dankk2

So here are some pic of my shop. It's my 12 X 38 man cave. Every thing has to be mobile except my lath. Went shopping with wife today and hinted that my drill press was used when I got it and it will not drill true. I hope one fits under the tree. I use a rikon mini lath from WC. I 'm still turning pens. With all the post here I will start turning bowls soon. And yes that is my flat screen.

I really don't mean to get personal, but that is one shop that looks like it might be shop/doghouse cross, it sure is a nice place to spend some time, thanks for sharing!

Sorry I have not been able to respond sooner. I found out we will have to move next door in a bigger house and a bigger shop. as you can see in the pic. I have a lot of work to do. The new shop is 24X22 and it use to be a dog kennel. Yes that is a jack hammer. I get to start from scratch. Will keep the updates comming as I will have to put my turning on hold. Thanks for all the comments on my present shop. I live in Townville,S.C. next to Hartwell Lake.
