    Not bad, but I think built the biggest lathe I've seen so far? Well, apart from the giant commercial ones.
    How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

    Ditto, Wongo.

    Puts my huge projects to shame.




    Or maybe just stop surfing his site.

    Yeah, that sounds better...

    He certainly has some nice stuff, and I'm certain he probably has much more money and time than many of us
    How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

    "Each night before I leave, the shop gets cleaned. "

    We does he get the time - he'd have to go to bed after he woke up for the next day of work!!!
    This time, we didn't forget the gravy.

    Its quite obvious that it's not a weekend woody setup. So he probably goes in in the morning, gets lost in there for the day and cleans up before he knocks off. He may be retired and some people work harder after retirement than b4!

    Default Cleaning the workshop

    Each night before I leave, the shop gets cleaned.
    Meant to read "Each night before I leave, the shop gets cleaned by my wife, while I suck on a few cans..."

    (It's the least she can do, the climate is pretty darned cold, and she can't mow when it's snowing after all.)

    I think he is just a yankee poser

    I bet he can't swing a 8ft Diameter ring in his lathe.

    this guy has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on his hands

    bloody incredible work, that staircase on the front page, though while impressive, is for me an example of how; too-much-is-just-too-much!

    Looked at his kitchen booth and have to say I don't think much of the design - it looks like something made with extremely basic skills - sharp corners on table and seats - looks to me like an ultra-cheap cafe booth - and I am lost for words on his mantel(which is really something for me as you all know)

    I would kill for his plotter though! And his clamps and his bandsaw and his workshop and his lathe and and........
