I worked construction for over 30 years then my knees gave out on me. You can work on my crew anytime. That is very good work. Well done.

Pretty shop Larry, very pretty. You haven't let the wife see it have you? You'll find yourself under a tree if you do. Get it dirty, GET IT DIRTY!!! <grin>

 

Frosty The Lucky.

Greetings Larry...

 

Sweet shop..  What's retired?... Now the real work begins.....  I see you live in NY..   How are you going to heat the building ?   No smoke stacks for the forges ?   I love the doors ... Lots of room to bring in the power hammers...      When is your first demo ? 

 

I wish you well     Jim

Looking fantastic, I like those flames!

although I'm currently using a "torpedo" heater, the plan for heat is a pot belly stove, the forges will have an exhaust blower,  I like the clean look without four stacks poking through the roof. As for the flames, I think I have to redo them, they trail off to low to soon

i don't know, the wife suggested a dragon......what do you think ?.....now she says two facing each other, maybe she's right

Either way it will look great, land I just love your shop. 

 

I showed my wife your design and she thinks two dragons as well.

 

BTW I retired about 3 months ago and over the two years prior to that I built and setup up a small (450 sq ft) shop in our inner suburban back yard. I sort of completed it about the time I retired so right now I am having a great time.
