For more than a year and a half now, I've been showing the progress of building my shop. Now it's finished and since I want to do something special for my 100th episode, I'm showing you a summary of all the steps I took to complete it in 12 minutes .

Beautiful shop Mon chum. Of all the shops I've found online, this is my dream shop. Btw, I don't think you need any celebrities? When you have all that talent in your head,heart,and hands. It was still kind of them to offer help. Many hands makes light work.

I am well experienced in Construction and woodworking and I say BRAVO TO YOU on a job very well done. I know you will have many years of happiness while working in your beautiful shop. Your are a very lucky man to have had so many friends and neighbors to help you and of course your wife right there by your side helping and doing so much of the insulation work too I might add. Great Job!

For my taste it WAY better, for a shop. On top of having a 16' ceiling, so you can turn long pieces around, you have a space which is usually better looking than your own house... At least for me, my shop is way nicer than my house. But the ultimate experience is building it yourself, this worth 100 folds of being proud against paying someone to do it for you. each time you step inside you won't be able to remind yourself that you build it yourself. Send me picture if you ever make it.
