   That sounds like the shop constructed by Matthew Teague.  He details the process in his blog.

   Here's a link to the pdf article describing the same:

   I'll bet it's this one: 37062.1

   A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!

   Home, the post number was 37877.1 that had all of the pictures, I searched under my nicname and found it. I will attach some pics to this response so Frank can see as well. Background, the slab is 20'x20' and the shop is 16x20. Insullated walls and windows and patio door. I saw no need for a roll-up door. Siding as you can see and I used 3/8 plywood instead of drywall. The heating and cooling supplied by a 230v LG through the wall unit 18Kbtu heat and 11K btu cooling. Have now had a chance to run the heat mode and have not seen a major spike in the electric bill.  We have had some cold weather here in West TN and I kept it at 62* and it was fine. Even when it dipped into the teens. Found it at Home D for around $699. Four T-8 fixtues on the ceiling nad I added a ceiling fan. Windows are 3'x6' and none on the south wall. The door faces north. On a sunny day I don't even have to turn the lights on and thats what I wanted. It has been 6  months or so now since I moved in. Completed a couple of projects, and have one going now. I am not disappointed in anything nor the size, I think it is just right. It's not as clean as in the pics now :), clamp rack and other things have been hung on the wall. The clock in the background is done, I posted that here, and there is a new Delta dust collector in the corner.  I do need to add gutters and a walk from the back patio. Let me know if you need anything else.  Rick

   If the inside is half as nice as the outside it looks like you have a wonderful place to spend your time.  It is beautiful!
