Cameroo:
I was up till 2AM last night (might have had something to do with the 3 cups of Tim Hortons I had around supper time) trying to turn my garage into a useable workspace - installing better lighting, rearranging the mess, and making a tiller tree.  I think I'm pretty much ready to let the shavings fly and turn some boards into killing machines.  Wish me luck!

cracker:
Good luck brother I hope it all come out well for you.Ron

sailordad:
good luck and start making shavings ;)

compared to me you did this backwards
i started making bows then decided i needed a work space(or 2)
i have my garage(unheated) and a room in the basement
i needed the room in the basement ,with an unheated garage in minnesota i would have been limited to 6 months or less
for making bows and such

Jesse:
good luck

Cameroo:
Thanks guys.  Sailordad - I'm even farther north, and my garage isn't heated either.  Well, that's not entirely true, there's a gas heater in there, but in the 3 years I've been living here, I haven't worked up the courage to try firing it up yet.  It looks very... "primitive", and according to the tag on it, the last time it was inspected was in '74.  I think I'd rather work in the cold than blow the roof off of the garage.  I'm hoping to use a spare room in the basement at some point too, but at the moment it's one big construction zone due to some seepage and heavy rain we had this summer. 

If anyone is interested, here's a picture of the tiller tree that I slapped together, and a maple selfbow (only my 2nd bow) that's in the works.  The whole tiller tree only cost about $35 to make.  The scale (110 lb) was $10 on eBay, and the pully on the bottom was the most expensive part at about $17.
