      @@fijid8976 It's 3:45 a.m. in California . . . sipping coffee . . . thinking about all I need to do today. "Skill set" . . . I've so often thought to myself "They can't teach THAT in a book" in reference to Doug's capacity to do all that he does . . . and to his wife who knows exactly how to assist him . . . how she anticipates without direction. Who knows all she does behind the scene??? I'm sitting here thinking about your location and you, as a person . . . and how we're communicating. I have a "love hate" relationship with technology. Bottom line . . . although it's a pleasure to be communicating with you . . . it's people like Doug, his wife, and all they teach there children that keeps this world turning, isn't it?

    The workshop is coming on brilliantly. A solid workbench is the foundation of a workspace, with the dust extraction being another essential for a safe space. You have the lighting sorted, but do check for light strobing with the moving tools. It is so much safer when you have a place for everything and everything in its place.

I love kids at this stage especially, seeing how they absorb knowledge and learn. Such a joy. Whats nice about the Home Depot shelf is that it can either be reused as is or back to a shelving unit when you have the building built for a permanent workshop. The work you are putting into this project will help organize your tools and have a place to use them. It is so enjoyable watching your videos, so I thank you for sharing your journey with us. Take care.

    You really do have brilliant ideas Doug. The big guy is the same way. He will buy or use something it was not intended for and turn it into something entirely 'diyfferent'. Added bonus he can make hardware for it. There's always leftover barstock from previous projects. When our son was due to be born we couldn't find the hardware that went with our daughters old crib. I loved that beautiful crib, and the hardware was lost. Well he made all the hardware out of some leftover brass. The crib was beautiful! Then our daughter used the crib her and her brother had slept in for our first grandchild. That beautiful white wooden crib with the brass fittings held up through 2 children and 4 grandchildren. Only thing that was replaced was the mattress. Sorry for the long post, just enjoy that like us you repurpose. ;)
