Wood
Hand tools, a table saw and planer, and a finishing bench for domestic hardwood work.

Where the work happens
One shop floor, three disciplines. Wood, metal, and leather work side by side rather than in separate rooms — a lot of the best pieces come from that overlap.
The layout
Two ways to read the 40′ × 60′ studio — a scaled plan of the whole floor with the rental MiniShop highlighted in copper, and roof-off renders of the same space.
Two exterior doors, two different jobs. The steel service door at the back belongs to the dust-and-fume room — it swings out onto a concrete stoop beside the rolling waste cart, so dust bags, sawdust, and metal offcuts leave the building without being carried back across the shop floor. The glazed exit door on the left wall sits directly behind the ADA accessible restroom, under a lit red EXIT sign, and is the second way out of the front of house — retail, the office, the restroom, the classroom, and the MiniShop all reach it without passing the wood, metal, or leather stations. The front entry stays the everyday way in and out. The last two renders below show each door up close.
Click or press Enter on the render to open the zoomable viewer. Inside it, arrow keys move between renders and pan when zoomed in, plus and minus zoom, 0 resets, O toggles the copper MiniShop outline, and Escape closes.
