Yep pure envy. How do you keep it organized so well? Do you have a closet door some where you are afraid to open?

I like the elevated shelf you have on the side. I'm trying something out like that in mine at present. We'll see if I can not clutter it up also.

What is on the inside walls? Painted plywwod?  Looks like you have plenty of room for that 13"x 60" South Bend lathe I have here.

I've been to the shop where Dave works.

It is a very nice place for sure.

Dave, It looks like you have been busy since the last time I was there.

There are two NY State Dutch barns in there. One is fully restored with a new floor system, the other is about 80% restored and I'm just starting on the floor for it. All of the floor joists (52 of them) are in another shed, along with all of the wall posts and aisle girts for the second barn. Also all of the 2.5" and 3.5" planking is not in the shop. Sawing a 28'x28' Dutch house frame now, that will have to stay outside too, I think. :D

Walls are painted plywood.

Dave,
Beautiful "shed" you have there and very well organized.  I took the Sobon and Carlon workshop about three years ago and remember Jack giving us plans for a timber cart, but cannot find them.  I did make a pair of his sawhorses but cannot locate the timber cart plans, do you know how I can obtain a copy?
