Always looks beautiful the first few snow falls. Come March I get pretty sick of it. -9° right now in SE Minnesota. Peter, I love your shop and it’s setting.
woodstove. still not hooked up yet. though. Holidays and other junk got in the way. Most days this season so far, I’ve been able to work in there pretty easily. hope to do the install next week. I’ve been saying that for 3 weeks or more.
Such an amazing shop. Would you mind sharing the dimensions? Length, width, height? I have been planning my own backyard shop for the past few years and would love to copy some parts of your design. Anything you’d do differently or add?

Heaven!

Beautiful Peter
Beautiful! But it looks a mite chilly. How do you heat the shop?

I was wondering if you were outside when I drove by. I should’ve stopped and said hi. Maybe next time. Make any bowls yet? That’d keep you warm.
I started one – but had to set it aside to prep for the class. come by when you can…
What a wonderful spot to be creative!!
Just a place to get away and be by yourself when its so pretty outside is a great thing. I love your workshop.
Thanks Peter!
Got a little Carolina wren there, I guess? You must have some nice music!
Just lovely – amazing how birds exist when it is cold!

I’d also love to have more details on your shop – such a great space!
