It doesn't always stay this clean, but because its suck a small space I really try and keep it uncluttered. I think today I will try to build a CBG.

Nice, Thomas.  I like seeing other people's shops.  Wish mine would stay as clean as yours was in the photo.

nice, nothing better than having a good place to work and good tools to work with, a little insulation will go a long way with the heaters.

@John I will get some photos posted this weekend. The one on the bench is the first I built just to see if I wanted to build them... I built 2 other prototypes designed differently, but decided the first was the best. I got 2 custom orders to complete. The neck is hard maple, and spruce on the top, western red cedar for the bottom. Should be sweet guitars! Thanks for the nice comments!

That looks great. Nice and sunny (although I am in the UK, I do recognise what sunshine looks like). Well kitted out and with a gorgeous strummer (dulcimer?) on the bench. Did you make that? I have the intention of making one (or two) later in the year. Would love to see some photos of it if you have time.

I build them. This is the first one I built, I am on my fifth now. Number 4 and 5 are ones people ordered. I enjoy my workspace, but right now the 2 heaters don't keep it warm enough to work in, unless the temp is at least above freezing. Thanks for the nice comments!

Wow, you actually use that shop vac too! Nice shop.

Nice looking strummer, too. Build it, or buy it? If you built it, you should have no problem building CBGs. :-)

Your workspace makes me envious.

Thanks Fernando! If I could just fond a really small wood stove that would allow me to burn my shavings and other wood piece to generate some heat. =)
