Thanks Martin. Gosh youve come a long way since Black Dog workshop i must say, but its looking really good now. Good luck to you both.....and please do take care in this as you said, weird world we are living in......certainly never thought it would be this kind of year.....xxxx
Hey Val. Thank you! Great to hear from you. A lot of water under the bridge for sure since the original workshop plan - but it is being used as a teaching environment though.
Looks great Martin! I've been slowly working my way through your back catalogue of videos, looking forward to seeing your new projects! Good luck to you and Les for the future!
Wow, Martin! What a huge change in such a short time. Very exciting development for you guys. The workshop looks fab and the wood store looks like it will be colossal. I like the idea of the viewing window - nothing quite sells product like people seeing it being created. Looking forward to the notifications for future projects. By the way, 'Really handy for those of you who turn recesses on your bottom' - made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the update - exciting times ahead.
Hey Sandy. Thanks for watching. It sure is an exciting time. There was no time today to film the bottom recess video, so it will have to be done tomorrow.
Gosh, haven't you come a long way in 5 odd years.... You were one of the first people I latched onto on youtube when planning my journey into the world of woodturning when my retirement came round. Now i'm living in Spain, I have been playing around in the shed for some months now and I can look up on my shelves and see all the Hampshire Sheen products that I watched you bringing into the market. More power to you and Les' elbows and I wish you all the best for the future. Will definitely be looking out for those lives.
Hey John! Great to hear from you again. I'm pleased you've been out in the shed getting some creative time in. I'll be emailing out some Live schedule stuff in a few days, I expect....got to think of some projects to do, too. Any ideas?
@@msabansmith Hi Martin, I had a thought but not sure if it is a bit boring... Was thinking about maybe showing us relative newbies some fairly easy projects for us to sell at craft fairs... (when they get going again). Maybe something like some tea- light holders with a M.Saban-Smith twist or how about the Owl that you did some time ago... Sorry I can't think of anything more spectacular ( you've already done most of those ). I was thinking along the practical sale lines. For instance, I've still got to do the pendants that you did all those years ago. Stay safe and speak to you soon. John
Absolutely fantastic Martin. Looks to be a great setup and confident to the success of Les and yourself! Cheers and looking forward to many great things coming from your shops.
Long way from the original workshop we all helped with the original workshop, you have come a long way, many congrats mate, hope you and the family are well. Best wishes
Certainly is, John. The original workshop is still there of course, but is now working as the teaching room. We're all good here thanks. I hope you are all OK down in the west country. It must be a couple of years since you went down there....
Nice one Martin and glad you clarified that you would be showing how to turn recesses in BOWL bottoms :) and couldn't agree more, Woodturning 360 is a great club to be part of. Shay
Thanks, Alan. It's not just Les and I doing our stuff. There has been a lot of hired help here, too! John and Bill have done the majority of the donkey work (to a higher standard than we could manage), Lee, his partner and Mark have done the woodshed . . . there will be a proper video and thanks when it's all done. And yeah - a lot of grafting indeed!
Wow you and Les will be an awesome pair. Will we see Les demonstrating at all? Send him my regards it is quite a while since I visited the "Dairy". I hope to get back turning soon and maybe pay you a visit (if Covid allows). Goodluck with the new venture. Eric
Martin. Was just thinking that we have not seen much from you. Good timing. This all sounds very exciting for you and has been fun to watch. I am new to your channel since May 2020 and have really enjoyed your videos. You have a wonderful natural personality and I enjoy watching. I am new to wood turning started during this pandemic. How ever I am a longtime wood worker. It is tough for me to watch you live. I am on the west coast of the USA (Oregon) you come on live around 11:00AM. So I get the recorded version. Can’t wait for the new videos! One idea on a video topic, “sourcing turning wood”. It’s not as easy as one would think. Lance
congrats on the new business! your shop and camera setup is great, you did a good job planning it. im smack dab in the middle of the usa, but one day, maybe i can come check out your new spot! it would be exciting for me! thanks for all the knowledge.
Ambitious programme, Martin; best of luck to you both. I like to drive down to Pompey for holidays, so perhaps I will be able to call in next Summer, virus permitting. It should be "All systems Go" by then. Lots of chucks on the wall: do you have another ,smaller, lathe for those odd jobs? I find that improves efficiency and satisfaction in my workshop, which is only slightly larger than your personal space. Bernard.
Ambitious indeed - perfect timing - in the middle of a pandemic! Lol. Still, we won't get anywhere without ambition. We'll look forward to welcoming you next time you're passing and we're open. :-)
Love the new workshop Martin! Think you might do a video on your video equipment setup some day? I'm looking to do a set up like that to do Zoom meetings for our Woodturning Club.
It really is obvious the amount of forethought you have put into your workspace mate. Love the camera setup also. What model is your video switcher? Wishing you lots of success in the new shop space. Cheers from Nova Scotia mate! Mark
It all looks fantastic Martin, a grand new adventure for both of you. I'd be interested in some more details on the camera and audio setupmyou have if you're willing to share. Are those camcorders?
Beautiful set-up Martin - congratulations. Question please -- Did you consider a monitor in the store that you can show your work from all of the camera views? Then of course some form of audio communication between the store and your shop. I look forward to seeing all of your future videos. Any chance we will see Les in a video - love to see a video on his production work. Thanks.
Thanks Dennis. The monitor by the cameras can turn round to point through the window into the shop and I have a special button that changes the the screen to show the relevant cameras. Les will be making an appearance in future videos for sure. They will be on a different YT channel, too.
Which old workshop? The old-old one is household storage for our bikes etc. The new-old workshop is where the beginning of the video was shot - it is now a teaching room.
Thanks Martin. Gosh youve come a long way since Black Dog workshop i must say, but its looking really good now. Good luck to you both.....and please do take care in this as you said, weird world we are living in......certainly never thought it would be this kind of year.....xxxx

Good luck to you and Les. What a great adventure.
Hi Chris. Good to hear from you again. Thank you...onward and upward!
Looks great Martin! I've been slowly working my way through your back catalogue of videos, looking forward to seeing your new projects! Good luck to you and Les for the future!
Hi Ian. Thanks for watching. It is very interesting watching those older videos.
Congrats on your new space Martin. Looks really interesting.
Thanks, Lin.
I am 2 years behind times………. but good luck with your business. Greetings from Oklahoma USA
Nice to see you back again. Congratulations on all the new projects!!
Thanks, Bonnie, and thanks for sticking around!

Hi Rob! Great to hear from you. I hope you and the family are well.
Who's been a very busy boy then....... wishing you the greatest success
Thanks, Steve. There have been lots of busy boys, and a few busy girls, too. Onward!
congrats on the new set up and plans
Thanks, Jason.
My, how it's come on! Best of luck to you and Les for the future. I will continue to support and promote you where ever I can.
That's very kind of you, Alf. Thank you. I hope to meet you if you can make it along when we open the doors.
Best of luck with it all.catch you back in ireland when this all over stay safe and good luck👍
Great set up!!! Looks like lots of fun.

Hi Mike! Good to hear from you. I hope you're well. We're both looking forward to getting properly settled in.
Can’t wait to see you again! Hopefully I will be able to travel to see you!

Lol. Cheers, Shay. Glad you're enjoying the club. The recess project is inexpensive and will help 'recess turners' finish their pieces more properly.
Cracking new set-up Martin,a huge amount of graft gone into bringing it all together! Keep safe and well👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks, Alan. It's not just Les and I doing our stuff. There has been a lot of hired help here, too!

Wishing you and Les all the best and great success with your new ventures
Stay well
Thanks so much!
Looks smart Martin. Looking forward to keeping up with your projects.
Thanks, Kevin. Just checked the diary, and we're good to record a new project video tomorrow, unless something crops up I'm not anticipating.
Looking forward to visiting your newe shop when it's upand running. Wishing you every success with your venture.
looks good
Thank you.
Wow you and Les will be an awesome pair. Will we see Les demonstrating at all? Send him my regards it is quite a while since I visited the "Dairy". I hope to get back turning soon and maybe pay you a visit (if Covid allows). Goodluck with the new venture. Eric
Nice one Martin, looking really good. Certainly worth all the thought and effort. The very best of good fortune to both you and Les.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks, Mike. 👍
hi Martin I hope the new venture really takes off, Good Luck 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You and me both!

Good luck with the new venture guys awesome possibilities
Great stuff Martin, I'll be building my own toasty warm workshop in the new year, not dissimilar to yours!
Got to admit that a heated workshop is lovely to work in!
congrats on the new business! your shop and camera setup is great, you did a good job planning it. im smack dab in the middle of the usa, but one day, maybe i can come check out your new spot! it would be exciting for me! thanks for all the knowledge.
Looks great good luck for the future.
Fingers crossed it all goes to plan, Les. Thanks.
Congratulations on your new endeavor!
Really come together mate, looks awesome :)
Ambitious programme, Martin; best of luck to you both. I like to drive down to Pompey for holidays, so perhaps I will be able to call in next Summer, virus permitting.

Ambitious indeed - perfect timing - in the middle of a pandemic! Lol. Still, we won't get anywhere without ambition. We'll look forward to welcoming you next time you're passing and we're open. :-)
looking good will be down when your open
Cheers....it will be probably another month before we can open. We are pushing to be open in time for some Christmas trade.
Love the new workshop Martin! Think you might do a video on your video equipment setup some day? I'm looking to do a set up like that to do Zoom meetings for our Woodturning Club.
Looks great.

Hi Mark. Thanks for watching. I spend a huge amount of time just 'thinking' and then haul myself into action. I hope you're well.
It all looks fantastic Martin, a grand new adventure for both of you. I'd be interested in some more details on the camera and audio setupmyou have if you're willing to share. Are those camcorders?
Thanks for watching Ruben. I'm using a mix of webcams and camcorders, yes. Damned expensive way to do it, but the results are worth it.
Looks good
Thank you, Matthew.
Great set-up, Martin - thanks for the tour (and for the speedy delivery of my intrinsic colours). Are you running your camcorders into an Atem mini?
Hi Stewart. The camcorders are each running through a Camlink 4K.
Beautiful set-up Martin - congratulations. Question please -- Did you consider a monitor in the store that you can show your work from all of the camera views? Then of course some form of audio communication between the store and your shop. I look forward to seeing all of your future videos. Any chance we will see Les in a video - love to see a video on his production work. Thanks.
Thanks Dennis.
The monitor by the cameras can turn round to point through the window into the shop and I have a special button that changes the the screen to show the relevant cameras.
Les will be making an appearance in future videos for sure. They will be on a different YT channel, too.
Is there going to be a viewing window for when you are in the cafe drinking coffee and eating eggs Benedict?
Lol....probably not. But I do think that window will make me feel a little like a goldfish. Lol
Looking good buddy. When can we move in? ;-)
Ummm.....we're looking to open by the end of November now....we were hoping for the middle weekend, but that ain't gonna happen! Lol.
Martin, you have an incorrect website address for Les Thorne in your description, it is not .com it is .co.uk 😀🇬🇧
Cheers. Corrected it. Force of habit!
*corrected it in the description. Can't change it in the video I'm afraid.
on your live videos will you have ear worms ,,.Best of luck ,, Regards Alf
what's happened to your old workshop?
Which old workshop? The old-old one is household storage for our bikes etc. The new-old workshop is where the beginning of the video was shot - it is now a teaching room.
