    I have been wanting to change some things lately and the rainy weekend kinda got me going. I painted the peg boards white to brighten it up as it was just a dark brown. Bought some more hooks to hang things to keep it organized so I find everything. I added an RS vise to take place of the home made one that looked like the apple type. laid down an extra rug that was just sitting in corner of basement and added a stool. But most of all just re organized it all. Im also in the process of making an X press type press. Got any pics of your shops please post them. We have many new commers here that would love to see where you tinker with your set ups.

    Whoa... One day I'll get something set up. I don't have a permanent place yet though.

    But that place is what dreams are made of...

    My wife and I are going to be remodeling her grandparents old house soon. Right now we have it rented and the renters are moving in a few months. A few years after the remodel is done I get to build my shop. I plan on building a garagemahall baby!! It will have a nice loft and in that loft will be an area for my home bow shop. If everything goes right, the shop will measure 40' or 50'x100', This will give me room under the loft for a 30yd indoor range!!! Muwahahahaha!! In the mean time I have a lot to learn and a lot of tools to acquire. Until then I have people like you to look up to and envision my own dream. Thanks for sharing the pics with us its really nice looking and yes I and many others are jealous.

    What do you have vaulted ceilings in your basement? :eek:

    Looking good! I have a hodge podge setup for working on my stuff that's spread across our office and my garage. Certainly not photo worthy.

    Lookin' good buddy!

    These are all pretty old; the walls are now crammed with about twice s much stuff, though I have tried to keep it neat and orderly...

    And the bows have changed since then... a more recent pic:

    Opposite side of room... a few extra stands and elk-hunting stuff:

    I'd take a pic of the back of the room, but it's got about 30 stands piled up on top of each other right now waiting to go back out in the field.

    Now the trick is keeping it that clean. Looks good.

    No workshop to speak of yet. Living in an apartment with a ton of stuff has its downsides. When we move into a house in the next year or so, we're going to have a garage big enough to do anything want to in. Gotta fit all the toys and equipment we keep accumulating.
