New Office

Fantastic space, not tripping over clutter on the floor. Table, chairs, countertops = wonderful.
Isn't it ironic that the carving means you hold the piece in your hand, not on the bench?

My mouth was getting dry, so I went back and looked again

I missed it also.....awesome looking shop. A great place to lose yourself in your work,...will reap major benefits to ease the mind.

Hi Mark, just seeing this and want to congratulate you on your early retirement ....I early retired in 2017 and only problem was I wish I had done it earlier!. Love your shop and so envious...tho my shop when the weather is good is outdoors in my front yard with my furbaby....I hope retirement is everything you would want it to be and that your medical issues get better. My sis had a double knee replacement last year so I know it hasn't been easy for you. Take care and keep the chips flying

Really nice office Mark, looks like you have plenty of inspiration and ready to dive in. Congratulations on your retirement.

Congratulations on retirement, Mark. I can sympathize on the knee; my wife has had her right one replaced twice! Very nice and well-equipped "office".

Congratulations on the retirement! Too many people never make it that far. Your workshop looks very nice.

[Mark N. Akers]

Thanks all yes I'm very blessed with the shop I have, wish I had a better turn out with the 2 replacements I had to have done on my knee in 21 mos. but you know I could always be allot worse so I'm not complaining.

Dang Mark. Looks like you should have a big retirement party, and we will all bring out tools. That is almost too nice to work in. Don't let the honey-do's get you down.
Enjoy your retirement Mark. Tom

Sure you're not just faking the knee injury just to get into the admirable new digs. Looks like your pretty well set up, ENJOY

[Tinwood]

Congratulations on your new life Mark. Don't suppose there is room for two eh? Sure looks nice in there, puts my 12x14 space to shame. Good on ya.

And I have always said, Mark ..What is best after the first year of retirement? The 2-3-4-5th and so on. Welcome to the OLD gang. Sorry about the knee problem.. My one only has had 3 surgeries. and pops out when IT wishes. The other ,, I don't talk about it... Now show off that work going on..
