YES! End grain wood flooring! I was seriously considering doing this and I will have it in my next shop, at least in the machining area. I think it's just beautiful to look at in addition to the previously mentioned benefits.

Will do. It may be awhile though.:thumbup:

Sorry for the delay everyone, been pretty busy around here. Long-term goal....make money and run the business completely debt free. I'm trying to get enough products of my own developed to pay the bills. I'm working contract work here and there for other people but ultimately, I want my...

That is actually been on my list for sometime now. As well as clocks.:thumbup:

:bowdown: I've admired your setup for a looong time. Your Do-All is a **** beast!

I guess I should explain a little further. There's a natural characteristic about wood, its wet, always. No matter what there is a moisture content. Being in Denver its pretty arid so over time I knew the would dry and shrink. So I used the cheap 2x4 method described above but I also added all...

They are just 2x4's. I ripped them down to about 2 5/8" actual. Basically enough to remove the round edges so when butted up to each other they would be flat.

I didn't finish the wood. I used a belt sander to get it somewhat flat and then DA'd it to smooth it. No stain or anything. I might sand it down again one day and stain it but then I might be afraid to scratch the bench! Chicken or the egg at that point right? The last shop I worked at, the...

Its the best having it at home. The amount of time and money saved from not eating out over lunch, the commute time, gas money... The best with out question though is being able to see my son off to school in the morning and have him walk through the shop doors in the afternoon. Simply the...

It does, I have another shed/workspace next to the shop. Its just a 10x16 shed that houses the air compressor and my wood working equipment. I am just finishing 150 of the games and 60 of the tic tac toe/quarter dishes. Should leave me with about 10-15 extras but I'm sure they will all be sold...

Nice to meet you guys! Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks! I've always wanted to make one but couldn't figure out a cheap way to make the coins and then one day I thought hell just use quarters and make it a gambling game. It was also kind of a tool to see how Kickstarter works. It exceeded my expectations for funds raised but more importantly...

here are a couple of photos from moving day. They used a boom style all terrain fork lift and came in through the rear of the property where there is a main road with gate access. Set a steel plate down on the grass and used a pallet jack to roll it in. The machine only weighs in about 4,000...

I do prototyping and design work. Some is for hire but I'm focusing on some of my own products as well. I have a few things I've tinkered with that I sell through my online store. I'm still working out the bugs on some new products also. You can see some samples on the in the links in my sig...

These last 4 are how the shop sits today. I need to do some cleaning.
