Post by: Bob Barnes on February 03, 2023, 07:20:54 pm: love it! It's hard to beat ERC for siding. I need to add that covered outside area to mine because I can see better using real daylight. :( You did a great job and I have my vote! :OK

Post by: mmattockx on February 03, 2023, 07:32:24 pm: That's one sweet bow shop, I'm very jealous. Also jealous of no snow on the ground, but I imagine summer is far warmer than I am happy with.

I didn't notice a vice, so now I'm wondering how you do the draw knife work...

Vice

Very nice.

I currently have multiple feet of snow on the ground, same as every year, so it never even crossed my mind that you can put it outside in some parts of the country. Same goes for the bandsaw I guess.

To be fair, I was primarily drooling over all of that ERC. (lol)

Post by: wooddamon1 on February 05, 2023, 02:46:42 pm: Beautiful shop, gets my vote. I like the outdoor vice set-up. Never gotten cold with a drawknife in my hands ;)

Post by: Lost Oki on February 07, 2023, 02:48:16 pm: Nice, like the outside work areas and the shade tree.
Title: Re: Bow shop of the month
Post by: Eric Krewson on February 08, 2023, 09:03:59 am: Before I moved to the country and built a real shop, I was working out of 5X7 offset corner of the garage that I put a workbench in. I put large caster wheels on the back legs of my 12" Craftsman bandsaw that were off the ground when the saw was upright but rolled on the ground when I tilted the bandsaw backward, this saw was fairly light. In hot weather I could roll my bandsaw out under a shady maple tree in the front yard and work. I would have my shave horse under the same tree for drawknifing staves to shape.

I found that working outside under a tree to be very satisfying, much different from working inside a closed-up shop.
