Raised panel side tables.

Finally got around to trying some of my tools out and and built a practise pair of end tables. The wood is Douglas Fir, I used this because its not quite as expensive as some of the hardwoods, but I really love the grain and knots in the wood.

My dream

New shop finished

Ready and waiting

Well the new shop was completed Dec. 2013, and I finally have all of my major stationary tools to start my wood shop, when I retire from my construction job. Still 2 years to go. Can't wait to stay home and build cabinets, furniture etc.

20" single surface planer

General Canada 10" cabinet saw

General dust collector

Shop floor

Well the shop is coming along, got the roof finished and the slab poured, doors next week.

The new shop update

Well things are going good, now have the walls and the sheeting on the roof, anxiously awaiting the shingles to be put on.

Foundation

Well a few days ago I had a excavation in the yard, now theres a foundation for the new shop sticking out of it. Things are rolling along quite nicely.

A new start

Well today they started digging the foundation for my new shop. My plan is to work in the construction industry for three or four more years. Then I will have my woodworking shop to work in for my retirement years. Really looking forward to it. I will post all of the progression photos as it is built.

Still a little snow at the trapline cabins.
