An OLF gettogether at your new wood barn would be an event not to be missed. I hope its an open invitation cause I will set aside that date.
Congratulations on your success. You know that 60 is the new 40 (that's what my doctor told me recently) and that makes 66 actually 46 if my math is right. No one retires at 46. Just deal with the fine dust and keep on cooking.

COngratulations, Bob. All the very best for the expansion of your business, you have some of the most beautiful tonewoods in the world.

Wow, if I was living in the US, I'd be up for that gathering next year.

Looking forward to pictures!!!!

Just a quick trip home to pick up some tools. Got Rosie, my 2 sons, Bob Jr and Pete and grandson Lil' Bob all working dilligently.

John K It sure is an open invitation and I would love to have you here. That goes to each and everyone of you. Even Grumpy.

And you have a couple Le Fridges too......

Bob it looks great and I see some spray booth possibilities as well.

A small drum sander could fit in the bathroom and have a dual purpose......

You know with your DSL and some web cams the next OLF gathering could be pod cast for all to enjoy?

Don't forget to install a nice comfy sofa for when you purchase BRW and Rosie finds out.....

Congrats, Bob. Looks like it will be a nice new home for all your zoot. Glad to hear you will have space to start building again. As to age, I work with a fellow who is 92 years old. He says our idea of retirement is wrong, "It is like an old car, you ust re-tire and keep on going".

Look forward to making it north to check out your new shop.

Careful Bob, he'll be getting walk-in traffic, wanting to know what Zoot is.  I like the sign though.

That is some prime looking space BobC.  Many possibilities.
