So, about a year ago now my Man and I bought this little house in central Texas. One bonus was a workshop in the back. Like the rest of the (foreclosed, but therefore affordable..) house, it was a mess. It is an uninsulated building, concrete slab floor, wiring scary. We have a plan for re wiring that soon. I've cleaned up the inside, (wasps, spiders, mouse nests, etc) we'll knock down the terribly made shelving, and reinstall something more sturdy, with a couple of heavy duty workbenches.
After insulating, I hope my little window AC unit can keep it cool enough to be in there and work.
But, it will be a while. Money is tight, (duh...) and making the house livable comes first.
But, I am dreaming of the day I can go to work, make bows with Geezer, then, come home and make more bows in my own shop!
It might be several more years till I can afford to insulate, make shelves, and get the tools I need. Those mostly being bandsaw, table saw, drill press, etc. Have almost enough hand tools, some given me by my Dad. I had a band saw and table saw, nice old craftsman, but they were stolen out of my garage when I lived in Oakland. Irritating.
So, keeping my eyes out for bargains/free, trades and the like in the meantime. And someday, I'll post here that my workshop is up and going!
Maybe I have to have some bake sales to raise money for it, lol! But, we all can dream...
Just sharing that dream here!
Take care all;
