If I go this way, it won't be until next autumn...I'm over-budget on the wood shop and I have other projects to sink $ into before fishing season starts.

So...I'll be painting in the shop and without a sink this first year. I imagine I'll have to invest in some Mason jars when I start spraying acrylics.

Finishing the shop was put on hold last spring so I could actually build some plugs. Work started again in autumn and should be done in a weekend or two.

It'll be nice to actually start building again.

Built a cabinet around the dust collector to limit noise, still have to drill-out the exit holes. Finishing the main bench with cabinets now. After the white Formica tops, all that will be left is the laminate flooring.

Beautiful shop Eric...

I wish I had big windows... I have one opening cellar window and a bulkhead door with cement stairs.. so I can get some x ventilation
