Jack, That's very nice for 30 years ago, but, what have you done lately?
Seriously I am envious of your shop. Very nice work.

I haven't done much in the last 15 years really. I moved then and had
a super nice workshop in the basement of an older home. I had designed
and built everything in the shop, and it was really laid out nice. When
I moved, and got stuck in the garage, I sort of lost interest. The
garage had some half assed cabinets, some still hanging off the wall
that I detest. I was getting into computing in a big way, first
learning to design my wood projects on cad programs, but that got me
into all sorts of things, so I spent about 10 or more years teaching my
self programing in various languages and all that rot. I've since
retired from work and have been trying to re-light the fires I had in
the past for wood work. Not sure if I can do it. My only recent
project was to build a new bench for my table saw and jointer.

My eyes ain't what they used to be and I spend more time looking for
tools I just set down than actual work, so it is a bit frustrating.
