ooohhh I have me some tool envy - and space envy! I wish!
ReplyDeleteThanks. 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.
ReplyDeleteLooks 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 :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a great space! And all those tools, it's like Disneyland for metalsmiths!
ReplyDeleteGosh you've got a lot of stuff and a great space. One shot would encompass mine. lol.
ReplyDeleteYay! Pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I would give just to be Barney's apprentice for a week or so...
