- Whether a contractor,
woodworker, cabinet maker or hobbyist,
you will,
- or you have already
reached the limits of the area you have
designated as,
- and refer to as: "my
shop."
-
- Over the past few years,
you may recall the number of times you
have accidentally bumped into one of your
stationery tools, while preparing for,
- or in the process of
working on a project.
-
- Possibly, you have noticed
that your spending more time preparing
for a project then the time it takes to
actually process the project. You're
- probably aware of the fact
that your spending too much time trying
to
- locate a certain piece of
hardware, tool or material for your
project, and
- spending less time working
on your project.
-
- You may have noticed that
the zeal that you once had, quite a few
years
- back, when undertaking a
new project, has somewhat diminished
proportionately to the loss of free
working area in your shop.
-
- If you have the above
mentioned symptoms, chances are your shop
looks
- a lot like ours. (Yes
that's a picture, of our shop). If you do
not have the
- above mentioned symptoms,
chances are, fate has dealt you a
different hand.
-
- If you have come upon this
realization, then like us, you desire,
and you
- require a larger, more
efficient and more organized shop.
-
- For some of you, you're
probably considering building your first
shop. For most of us, we've made due over
the past few years and now have finally
decided, and have finally made a
commitment to to build a new shop.
-
- This is the commitment I
have made, I've decided its now or never.
My personal decision is based on a love
of working with my hands and one
- of realizing that I can be
entirely more productive and profitable
at what I
- enjoy doing.
-
- I believe in a roundabout
way, we've just covered our purpose in
building
- a new shop.
-
- So, for those of you who
are considering or determined to to get
started,
- follow along as we go
through the steps of what it takes to
accomplish this task.
-
- Please remember, this is
an actual project in progress. For those
of you
- who are familiar with
Murphy's law, you can expect delays.We
will be attempting to update this section
on a regular basis. We will also try to
- capture and document all
the details necessary to make a project
of this
- nature, successful.
-
- At this time, I'd like to
invite you to send us your thoughts
concerning
- this project. If you have
an opportunity, send us a picture of your
shop,
- it can be a way for all of
us to share in project of this kind.
