WOWEEEEEEEEE…..................waht a great looking shop. Les, you did an outstanding job on this shop. Looks like you got a whole lot more room now. I will have to stop in for a vist when I come back to Kansas next spring. It’s been well worth the wait. Nice looking floor too.

Very impressive shop Les! That floor is really beautiful. Now that my shop is basically done I am going to buy the rest of my big equipment. I decided to go with a Jet Bandsaw, Drill Press, Shaper, Drum Sander and Jointer/Planer Combo in one big order. I see you have some Jet equipment. What do you think about them? I love my Powermatic PM2000 but felt that Jet equipment would be fine for my home shop. Keep them pictures coming! I am happy for you that you have such a great shop!

God Bless

Les, this turned out beautifully. Having a shop like this makes working in there a real pleasure, I am sure.

What about your existing shop space? Any thoughts on remodeling it to bring it up to the standard set in the expansion space? :)

SUWEEET!

I love how bright it is in there. I was looking at upgrading the light in my shop to those units. It looks like they put out plenty of light.

Better watch out for the sawdust on the laminate floor. You can slide like you are on wet ice.

Les,

It’s good to see that you are truly making progress. Not having heard anything for so long, we were concerned that zoning might be giving you a real nightmare. Your workshop looks appropriately wonderful for such a superb craftsman. Congratulations on a fine job! You must be anxious for it to be totally finished.

Les glad the powers that be got together to approve everything. It looks awesome, I really like the flooring, nice on the feet but also makes the space a lot brighter than concrete as well
