The Workshop

I thought that I would give a brief tour of Calvin's new workshop for those that have not seen it.  Last summer we enclosed the carport at the back of the house and made an all season workshop for Calvin.  It actually turned out to be a very beautiful room with great views of the western mountains.  Calvin has been in hog heaven creating new batches of sawdust almost daily. This is the view from the backyard. We had to make sure that water drained away from the house, so that involved adding a little retaining wall and small patio.  You can see a door on the very back wall that opens into the guest room. 
Calvin is just finishing a chair project.  Roque showed him a picture of a chair she liked and he built it from the picture making his own pattern. This view is looking from the back of the shop looking west.


You can see a bit of the kayak above, but here the full view of kayak storage on the north wall.
 And here are the french doors meeting the sidewalk on the south wall.

Calvin is a very neat shop keeper and has a pretty good sawdust collection system worked out, but he still has room for a few more essential tools without getting too cluttered.
