Everything in the picture was lost except the table and benches.those tools were hard to lose.i'm working on getting more replacements.There's an old Treadle lathe behind the tool cabinet doors that was one in a million to me.gotta keep looking ahead though.

The fire four years ago was blamed on a tablesaw.The fire last December was supposed to have been caused by a wood stove.YES,there's been two total loss fires in two years.Here's the first shop built totally fromReclaimed barn wood in old fashion mortise and tenon timberframe.Her's the second built as a more coventional stick built using oversized timbers as studds instead of 2x lumber.It's hard to look at and talk about.We're focusing on the future not the past.Believe it or not this wasn't the worse family challenge we're facing ove rthe last 18months but that's personal.Suffice to say Cancerx2 and two primi twins born 28 wks early.

Wow, that's an awful lot to deal with. Healthy full-term twins alone almost did the wife and I in. Aside from a couple of geriatric grandparents, we had no family nearby to give us the occasional respite.

Every now and then, I see an ad on Craigslist where someone is trying to sell their entire woodworking shop as a package deal. And I invariably think that they must be nuts, because pretty much everyone acquires their equipment a piece or two at a time. But in your circumstances, a package deal might be just the ticket.

Here's one that popped up in Dayton Ohio recently that might just be a fit for you. Where are you located? I live just outside of Columbus, about an hour away from Dayton, and so might be able to assist if the need arises.

thanks Dennis.all ofthis is going on now in conjunction with the rebuild/retool /try to stay in business stuff.It's been a rough 18 months or so.
The add looks great but I'm not set to make that big a purchase right now.I'd love that bench and other SS but probably have to wait awhile. I'm up in WNY about 40 mile SSE of Buffalo,Ny so not a ral long trip but would be a trip.

The Dayton,OH CL add is all sold out except for the tablesaw.
Here's the WorkTable with finish.
