The Shop
Tweedy Home
The shop is my sanctuary. Where I can get real work done and clear my head of the crazy world outside. It is a clean, well-ligthed place of sanity and peace, even the most disasterous woodworking error is fixable.
In 2011, between day-jobs, I set out to turn my space into a proper shop. I put wood-flooring over the concrete floor. Installed: covered cabinets, light, power, dust collection and more work surfaces.
Down the middle of the shop. Left, the every-day work top is out-feed for the table saw, and below the peg-board is a standing bench for work-in-progress.
Below the main bench are 15 indispensible drawers, holding essential tools close at hand. At the back, behind the Kennedy toolbox, a small table is out-feed for both the thickness sander and the big bandsaw.
And yes, I have a leather couch in the shop.

From the other side there is the heavy table with the Go-Bar deck on it, and my dry-box below.
Since the picture was taken I've added a router table to the table-saw extension. An absolute must in a lutherie shop.
