Farrell is my grandfather...and I doubt he'd be OK with the Wood Working Wondershop moniker...but hey, the Garage Gallery is all about catchy headlines...
I wanted to document his amazing shop and share it with you. I must apologize in advance as I do not know much about the equipment he uses or the various tools and whatnot. Perhaps I can get him set up with an account to post with.
He is my personal hero and amazing person with a rich history of being damn good/successful at whatever he decides to spend his time on. That being said...he is particularly fond of woodworking and his shop (which has become legendary among family/friends) has always been a particular point of fascination for me and a point of pride when telling people about him.
Without further ado... Farrell's Wood Working Wondershop:
In this picture you can see the ducting outlet for his custom sawdust ventilation system (shown later):
Coming through the front door:
First stop is to the right where we have the door to his office and the stairwell to the attic:
The office foyer(?):
His office:
Going up stairs (there is actually a finished apartment up here --not shown --built by a man my grandfather took in who had been homeless...he happened to have contracting skills):
Back down stairs we now head into the largest room of the shop from the front door:
This area to the immediate left is where he does a lot of his hand carving (he hosts a group of carving buddies in his shop periodically):
Moving on to the far end of the main room:
This is part of the sawdust ducting system he built:
