What does your Workshop/Workspace look like?

Rick, I am so jealous I don't even know what to do with myself.

(Other than start making more money and also trawl wherever I can for some second-hand tools.)

Hell of a space--sorry, spaces--you've got there.

This is the one I use. PORTER-CABLE 1.6-Amp Variable Speed Scroll Saw Model #: PCB370SS
I had a small Delta but after awhile it just wore out.
 
I got forced into a smaller room due to growing children. Lol! This is the mess that ensued.

Ignore the very shoddy photo stitch-together.

Great spaces all. I love seeing other's dreams come true and see them dedicate their life (and part of their homes) to achieving those dreams.

I wake up everyday grateful that I am still doing what I love to do and make a living at it 26 years later. Each and every day, I still feel like a kid!

Here is a quick journey into some of the spaces we have created over the years. The last few images are our current facility, which I am thankful for each and every day. It truly is the culmination of dedicating most of my life to this amazing art and I couldn't have done it without the help of many people and inspirations throughout the years.

Thanks for looking

Here is one I set up in my garage.. obviously before it got extremely messy and cramped.

Here is a temporary shop we set up before moving into the one we are in now. It is basically two portable garage tents joined together. We installed an AC in it as well that vented outside. This was set up inside a warehouse so we could keep our work private and contained. For a tight space, we got a surprising amount done.

And here is our current facility. This was a true labor of love. It was totally unfinished when we moved in. The good part is it allowed complete creative freedom. The not so good part is that complete creative freedom costs some $$$. But looking back, it was well worth it. And yep, I even built another secret door in the brick wall of the conference room.

I haven't got a dedicated workspace as such so I made (with help from my dad) this tray-like workstation using wood from an old desk a few years ago.
