No, the picture 

 

 

Lew,..my wife's great grandmother was a lady named Mona (Tuttle) Strange. She painted for her happy as we do all of our things. Not sure when she started but she died in about '94 and was in her mid 80's. We have 3 here at the house and one date is clearly visible when I magnify with my phone as 1967. First 2 are hanging in my shop..the 3rd winter scene is the dated 1967 in another room. She was from Estill Co. Kentucky. I posted a pic a while back of her husband next to the antique car. I watch over these things for the kid.

Thanks for the back story! That winter scene of an old mill is absolutely gorgeous!

So...what is on the bench at the moment...

Because I needed this to lay down..

So I can add a hanger rail....to hang this cabinet up on the wall's studs in the Bathroom...

@aaronc....what Lew said. The stream is so realistic appearing, it actually looks cold. Amazingly gifted woman she was. What a keepsake.

I have two work benches; one indoor and one outdoor. This is what is on my currently active bench.

 

And this is a shot of my other bench in action.

Me too. Love your indoor one; looks just like mine, well except for the guitar in process. IDK maybe there is one below the pile of stuff on mine.

 

My outdoor bench consists of plastic folding saw horses, a workmate of two and the tailgate of an F150. All are very portable.

You've all seen my indoor benches, my outdoor is wood saw horses ( light weight folders are on my get list) with plywood for a table and the tailgate of my Tacoma. As you said portability is key, I usually follow the shade

I have a metal shed in a box in my metal shed(lol) that I have plans to turn into a workshop, I'm just finding it really hard to do because working outside there is so much room, and just being outside is lovely even during the winters here. Hard to give it up.

So...what is on my bench right now..

Hmm...

Hmmm...

Well...most of it is ON the bench..

Still need to hinge the Towel Rack to the case...then sand, sand, and more sanding...

It's all fun and games til you have to sand.

Ain't THAT the truth!

No official work but did a little plinking in the back yard after mowing. She's a German made Diana 46 in .177. Set up on my new bench for a little wipe down after her exercise. Stock is beech.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So..what is on the Bench, today?

Hopefully get this cleaned up sometime...

Sometime  I may get to the 4 or 5 I have squirreled away

This one should be “fun”

Several hours work, but how can I complain about spending it in my "shop"?
