jayco Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Chris, your new shop is looking good! I've been working on my shop and thought I'd take a look at your progress. You will enjoy having a warm dry place for your tools and yourself.....it makes the work much easier having a good place to do the work. You've probably discovered the same thing I discovered a couple months ago.....that building a new shop is a lot of fun.....but also.....a lot of work! Do you remember being in the chat room a while back? ( I think there were about six of us....all of us building new shops! Maybe it has to do with winter coming on.......and needing a place to work on those cold January days......... Hope you get that roof on.......and good luck with the new shop!

Max Mulholland - Tetnum Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 all i see lacking is a chimney and a wood stove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerkid Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 the stove pipe wikll be going throw the roof ASAP ( hopefully next wedsday if not sooner). If your working hard enough you dont need a wood stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unkle spike Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Your welcome Chris, glad I could help. BTW the horse shoe above the door needs to go with the Opening UP! That way all the good luck won't drain out. (old farriers superstition). Shop looks good, just don't add a bunk bed to it and you will be fine....

hammerkid Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Jeff, The thing is if its over a smithy it supposed to be down, there is a bp on Blacksmithing myths and such. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug C Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Chris, I think the story is that if it is over the forge it goes face down so that the luck runs into the forge. Either way you have one heck of a nice shop. I am jealous. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Mulholland - Tetnum Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 i think its over the forge so the luck drains into the forge for a blacksmith for a farrier its up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
