It's a place with no pressure, schedules, or deadlines... and you're
there because you WANT to be, not because you have to be..

Right on. I have a small stereo ("boombox"), a little 12" TV, a
radiant heater on the ceiling, a good workbench, and a comfortable
stool to sit on.

During the early evening I can mill and use power tools on the wood
(kids are awake), but in the later evening it's all quiet -- layout,
marking, sharpening, hand tools or finishing.

Sometimes a good thick Porter is a handy accessory.

Cheers,
Nate
