Above 1200 Sq/FT T-Handles Workshop (The final destination??)

[T-handle]

Hi everyone and sorry for being absent for so long. I can't believe it's been four years since the last post.

I've been battleing with this chronic nervous system deciece for years now. At worst I have been bedbound and zero energy for things to do.

Last year was a little bit better and I'm doing pretty ok now. Been doing few hours of work a day and that and resting is all I can do. I had to give up all my hobbies and share of interest.

The workshop is still a on going procress, pretty much in the same state. I have plenty of plans but it's a slow going procress. I've had a lot of time to dream about the perfect workshop

I've retired from my day job but i'm doing some paint correction and other stuff for classic cars with no deadlines. If you like to see what i've been up to I have posted something on tiktok @tapsa852 and instagram @thandle1978.

I hope everyone have a great year 2026 and keep on trucking. I hope some day i'll be doing those long posts of procress on the workshop, i really enjoyed it

Best Regards T-handle

T-handle, I wish you renewed health and ability in the new year! I immensely enjoyed your thread and all of the projects you undertook, especially the refurbishment of your John Deere tractor!!! I was excited to see a new post from you, but the excitement faded when I read how you have been sidelined by illness. I hope to see you back to 100%. Take care, friend!

T Handle good to see an update from you. Wish you were not having health problems though but good to hear you are doing a bit better lately. Your thread is one of my favorites on GJ.

Glad to see you back buddy. I can relate to what your saying about not feeling like moving, it took me a couple of years to get back up,
Take it one day at a time.

Glad to see you back again. I've seen some of your posts on Instagram, the Stang looks good! Sorry to hear of your illness, hope to see you getting better soon!

Hello T-handle. I've been inspired by the photos and videos of your workshop, for many years.
But then you disappeared. Good to hear you are still there!
I am sorry about your illness. Having lots of ideas, but zero energy, is really hard (my wife suffers from a similar disease).

Tapio, thank you for the update. I just watched the Mazda build on Instagram. Amazing work and beautiful result. Your wife's smile says it all!
