After many months of slow, steady progress, the workshop is finally starting to take shape. The wiring is complete, the interior walls are covered in plywood, and I finished the wood with two coats of polyurethane. The hope is that dust will not stick as easily and that I will be able to blow the walls clean with a leaf blower whenever needed.
I brought my workbenches up from Florida. The space here is smaller, so I cut them down to fit the new layout. After a thorough sanding and refinishing, they look great and feel right at home in the new shop.
Lighting is installed, the audio system and TV are mounted, and the hardwood storage is now on the walls. There is still plenty left to do, but the progress feels real. It is incredibly rewarding to walk into the space and see it finally coming together after so much time and effort.
