Ive received an email or two or three… over the years about some of my favorite tools in the shop. While these pics arent necessarily tools (power tools i guess) – they are some of my most used, cant live without shop tools. There are of course so many more tools i use on a daily basis depending on the task at hand, but these are used the most. …………………….. In no particular order… My most favorite primer ever tinted to a dark brown. I talked about this product and why i use it here.

Well, im working on a post about how I started my business but I wanted to show you pics of my new shop space. I officially moved out of my garage 2 months ago into a working shop that is super close to home (6 minutes to be exact) and I cant say enough how much I love it!! Its so nice having my work away from home and being able to leave “work” at work. It was a big step to start paying rent, but its so worth it :) So, the outside is nothing fancy. In fact it’s a big ugly blue tin building that has seen better days. But it works and its easy for people to spot! Im the very last door – the [...]
