Very nice. They look like furniture.

Beautiful!

You say these are in your workshop?

Beautiful columns. I think you definitely have enough practice. I can’t wait to see some furniture. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Those are sweeeet. My garage…I mean…my workshop is very jealous.

That’s not a basement; that’s a ”lower level.” Those look fabulous!

WOW…you say this is your workshop ? ! Very impressive to say the least : )

-- I'm absolutely positive that I couldn't be more uncertain!

looks great

-- making sawdust....

.. and I find another awesome example of something that I’m sure I’ll “borrow” for my own basement

question – given that your shop is part of the house (not stuck in the garage) how are you keeping the dust down? Looking for ideas .. figure if it’s good enough for the living space portion of a house it’s gotta be more than fine for a garage

The contrast between the trim and columns is awesome! Outstanding workmanship!

Very nice looking columns!

“question – given that your shop is part of the house (not stuck in the garage) how are you keeping the dust down?”

The shop part is sealed off from where the furnace is. I have two doors that lead to the side of the basement where the furnace is. I put weather seal around the door casing and sweeps on the bottom of the doors. My basement is a walk out, so I also have a couple fans going when I’m doing work. I have a small dust collector that can be hooked to one tool at a time. My next tool is going to be a large dust collector.

So far I haven’t noticed too much dust making it to the upstairs. I’m also been replacing my furnace filter more frequently than I have in the past.

Pretty sweet trim job man!

Those look terrific.
Can I ask about the interior molding? Is that a separate ogee molding with 3/4 inch depth you added after the glue-up?

Thanks!
