Let's See Your Shop

I'm the same way. No alcohol or music in the shop until all machines are shut off for the day. I won't even run my machines if I'm not feeling too well. I may do some maintenance on them but nothing that requires running power tools. Once the power is off though I do like to sit at the shop desk and have a cold one and maybe plan the next project or the next step in the current project.

Ed,

Up until about a month ago there was a big over-stuffed rocking/recliner chair where the air compressor now lives. After a day of machining (or heck, even an hour or two), it was nice to pull up the chair, turn on the TV and crack open a cold Sammy. This past summer, Dad & I finished up a little 8x8 sunroom on the south side of the house below his porch. That's his "reading room" now and where the big chair is, and it doesn't need any heat except on the very coldest of days.

We run machines probably 30% with what we see, and 70% with what we HEAR. I want nothing in the way of that.
