A new shop

The Knotty Woodworker is pleased to announce that I have found a new shop to build furniture in. My last shop was 1800 sq. ft. but the layout was not conducive for efficient work flow. Half of the building was the actual shop due to a dividing wall. The other half was split as 1/3 office and 2/3 storage as the floor was badly sloped to the center to accommodate the business that the shop was originally built for in the early 80's.
The new shop is one room, 1500 sq. ft., with 20 foot ceilings, a very level floor, and an 800 sq. ft. mezzanine. As well, I have a 14 ft. overhead door.

I cannot tell you how excited I am! The new shop is located in Loveland, CO. This is great for me personally as I am much closer to my family, but it is also a good thing because of where I get most of my Beetle Kill Pine. I do expect to increase production, lower production costs and just operate more efficiently in general at this new location.

I will be moving in beginning on the first of December. This is no easy task with woodworking machinery, but I am anxious to get moving on it. After setting up machines, building new work tables and running 3 new electrical circuits, I plan to cut the first board mid-December. I have a small bathroom vanity and counter top to build and then I should have some sort of grand opening get together in January. If you are considering a handmade piece of furniture from The Knotty Woodworker, there has never been a better time to place that order!
