LITTLE WOODSHOP IN THE WOODS
The stack of wood is from an old redwood deck. My wife and friends thought I was crazy to bring 1400 SF of 2X6 heart redwood from California to Georgia
After retiring from teaching woodshop I had to build my own here in the N. E. corner of Georgia. (Think Deliverance) I thought 24 X 24 would be big enough for me…NOT! The shop, built on a sloped area of the property was designed to complement the house and look like a carriage house. It has a full basement for wood and material storage. All the years I taught I would find and redeem trees that I thought would have nice grain pattern or that had some history. My work now consists of using that supply of slabs to make furniture. I rarely make the same thing twice though I do have a stash of 15 Oak wine barrels so I think a few things will be duplicated. My current project is making some pieces to go before a craft guild jury. The cuppola is a functional cuppola.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the "obligatory reefer" is a refrigerator. Grass and power tools go together as well as alcohol and guns.
Yes it is a refrigerator and all that is in there is bottled water for me and Seamus Patrick, my four legged helper.
"End School zone" sign is a nice touch for a retired teacher.
Great shop!
Sweet shop. I like the brick, the windows and your lighting. Having moved to Tennessee from California a bit over a year ago, I can relate to bringing some west coast wood with you. You aint gonna find Redwood or any Doug Fir around these parts. I hear that the "reefer" is not as good here either ;)
Thanks for your assistance with my design questions. You were a big help
