Some pictures of my shop.
Keep in mind that this used to be the shop that I worked on my drag race cars and other hot rods.

Thanks. Yes, the oven is home made. I bought aluminum silicate insulation boards and heater wires and made a very solid body. It has about 40 cycles of HT and it still running. I HT RWL34, 440B and some carbon and spring steels.

Oh, I have PLANS. It is 12x20, so a bit small, even with the forging patio (previous owner being a farrier, it really is a forging patio).
Since I need to do some roof work anyway, I'm pulling that end out and framing another 12 feet in. 12x32 will be very reasonable, since I have to close 8 feet off for the leather benches.
Exciting

Outside...view from the backyard:
my almost complete folder working area:
a bit more drywall work , and two more wiring pulls from the power panel and I can button this room up:
main grinding area:
leather working room ( with fridge ! ):
of course the shop wouldnt be complete without a 25 yard practice archery range ( inside the doors is a stacked carpet target ).
After having a water line burst and flood the place with about 4" of water back in November ( unfortunately the prior owners ran all water lines thru the ceilings ) , I have spent that past 6 months re-drywalling , cleaning , painting and last week started the rewiring. It is almost done , a few more wiring runs and I will be back in action. It will be nice knowing exactly what is on what circuit and knowing that I don't have to worry about running too many things at once. All goes well , in another month , I can get back to knife making ( instead of shop repairing ).
