Thought I would post some updated pics a promised in another thread.  I keep telling myself that I will get some good pictures when it is done, but I am starting to realize that it will likely never be "done" or "clean"....  Anyway, it will serve me well and is way more than I ever thought I would have. My stepdaughter did the chalkboard paint on the cabinets - the OCD side of me wants to clean it up, but it's too sweet to mess with it.  Her writing on the cabinets and the sign for the shop too.

Frosty aked about the ugly dog. That is a rather hansom beast. 

I think the blackboard cabinet doors are a great idea, it's one of the " why didn't I think of that?" category.

 

(..er, thinking a little more, I'm sure I have half a tin of blackboard paint laying about somewhere....that is now destined for the side of my rather large box bellows.... Cheers for that idea Doug )

That's a handsome shop, I like the 'blackboard doors' too. Just a thought though, storing paint and varnish 'above the sparks' seems counterintuitive  as vapors would 'settle ' to the ignition point? I could be wrong.

Good point...  I will have to move things around a bit.  Thanks for catching that!

Oh that's a handsome dog, the whole goof thing is an act he's probably smarter than most of the people you see on the road.

I like the blackboard cupboard door idea too, a real head slapper.

If you were to gasket the doors with stick on weather stripping foam rubber and vent them out the back wall I wouldn't get too jumpy storing low yield volatiles in them. Not gasoline, paint thinner, etc. but sealed oil paint is a maybe.

On the other hand not taking a chance you don't have to is a WAY gooder idea. Gasketed and vented floor cabinets might be better. Outside is best though Hmmmm?
