Gentle Galoots,

Thanks, Ed. Spoken like a true member of the SGFH.

done."

Thanks, Bill. There was a narrow window of time for taking the photos. I had to
move quickly before the flat spaces filled up.

Paul G. wrote:  "Looks like a great space Chuck.  Congratulations.  So many
horizontal surfaces still uncluttered.  Amazing!"

Thanks, Paul. My hope was that with the extra horizontal surfaces I would be
able to keep my main bench clear. We'll see how long that lasts....

Congratulations on the new space, I think you'll have fun getting it all set
up."

Thanks , Michael. The downsizing bit was about the house. We actually upsized
the garage. Galoots have gotta have their priorities, you know. And, yes, it has
been fun getting it all set up. I hope to have even more fun using it.

Otherwise, a darn nice space that suits you well. Nicely done, lad. Not as many
lathes as I may get expect made it into the photos, but I did see a nest of
blockplanes there. Those multiply like tribbles, or so I hear."

Thanks, Curt. No, the shop didn't really get downsized. But the house did go
from 3 stories to 1 story. Not all my tools made it into the photos. I think
there are a few more block planes in a box somewhere, no doubt in the process of
multiplying.

Cheers,
