It's all becoming much clearer why you needed more space! If I built the same place in Vermont this would have cost $350k. Love the high outlets, advancer shelves, tons of room! I'm hoping to build my dream studio next Fall. This must feel awesome for you to be working at this level! Impressive!
It is quite the studio; two years in it now and there have been a few alterations, and one major realization that the studio is not big enough. Already looking at another 1500 ft to support an online shopping venture. I had one contractor quote me $450k to do this originally; including a generous profit for himself, that number is not ridiculously far off, especially now that materials are 3x expensive.

Get yourself a SawStop! You loose the thumb...potting at the level you do would be difficult.
It sure would. I know what I was doing was wrong, but rushing to get stuff done, working on little sleep and mainly caffeine....not a good combo. I knew a guy who had no arms but still made pots....I bet I could figure it out!

How are those drains and drums working out?
Perfectly. I havent had to do any maintenance on the drains (aside from cleaning out the troughs & sock filters) and the filter bed where they drain to is working perfectly as well. The bucket filters for the sinks have yet required a cleaning, but when they do, it'll be easy peesy.

sure moneymakers, though. see your batmobile in the background and is that a CANVAS covered wedging board in foreground?????
Nope, no canvas (aisde from slab roller) in the shop. The thing covered with red clay is a plaster slab.

a bailey wheel on the left? love the lights, what kind brand name?
An older Bailey on the left, Pacifica from 800, and a newew Bailey on the right.
Lights were a generic name....fluoro fixtures which j converted into an led fixture. Can't remember the name of the bulbs....nothing special.

nice green glaze, huge area, aren't you happy with it all???
Extremely happy with the space! Covid kind of overshadowed what should have been a blissful first year but nothing j can do about that.

Thanks @shawnhar! Since this shot was taken the studio got updated with new stainless steel worktables which gave us more room and easier cleanability. If you like this studio, wait until you see the new one!!

I love bacon so that would be good for me!
Or, $36/$49 +shipping/handling. I just made a batch of 50 small and 50 large.

They are relatively easy to make; the small does 3-4 pieces of bacon, the large does 6-8. Small uses 1.75# and the lg uses 2.5#. Open like you normally would, then instead of pulling from at the bat, leave a 1/4" or so for the "foot/catchbasin". Dont make them too tall for the microwave.

how does it work? I see a hole for drainage but do you lay the bacon over the edge?
The bacon gets draped over the rim; microwave 1 min per piece of bacon. Grease drains into base for easy pour off. Dishwasher comes out perfectly clean. Used mine this morning. Love it

A neighbor who works in commercial construction brought these to me from a demo of one of his jobs. They are out of a pharmacy; originally they were just cabinets, so I made a frame, and added the casters (amazon). The cabinets are made by a company called Logicell. They dont publish prices online, so my guess is that these cabinets are $$$$....maybe $5-800 a piece. Thank gosh for good neighbors!
