  2. Thanks. But I have been colecting tools for over 40 years, and it is a nice little cozy space. A bit cramped when the cats all come in. Still I love it though.

  3. Looks fabulous Barney! I'm envious of all your tools as well...starting to build my own collection and swiping some of my Dad's old hand tools in the process. Very cozy studio...working on getting mine to have that cozy feel :)
