I just moved to the new house, I sits in the forest next to the shop I bought. Have not had much time to deal with the shop but, have nade some progress. I have had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands after I moved. That will slow you down a tad. If you want to see pictures of that let me know.
This is my new bench, about half done at this point. The openings in the front are where the drawers where tools will be stored.
Lots of room in the new shop. All this c**p was in a one bay room before. The other side of the shop (same size) is for metal working, welding, tourching and stuff like that, keeping sparks and fire away from the wood dust.
This picture shows the vise stands. I wanted to be able to reach all the way around stock while working. There is about 40" from wall to stock so I can stand on both sides of the stock without moving it in the vice.
Three vices in a line make it posable to hold the gun on eather side of the bench and still have a vice free fot other stuff. I hate to hang a gun on the wall just to use a vice for something else.
This the other 1/2 of the shop. Lots of work to do still.
And the best part is I have only to open the tractor door to get to the range for sight in. I used to drive an hour for that. I have plans for a benchrest that sets inside the big door. You can see the target boards, I will make stands for these in time.
