Nice to see I'm not the only lucky one. My father-in-law died late last year, and I've inherited his workshop. On my advice, he sold off the lathe, as it was huge and my lathe skills are minimal, but all the rest of the woodworking tools will be coming down from Maine sometime this summer. Kurt, that was interesting timing. My wife and I just came back from the shed place where I used to work, and I just ordered a 12x22' garage drop-in shed to be installed on the property in late March/early April. Once it's wired and finished inside, I'll have enough dedicated space to set up two bicycle stands and my motorcycle bench simultaneously. That should keep me busy in the evening.

And I will pick up a small inexpensive lathe to replace the big monster - I'm tired of hand filing to fit a crown race.
