Just caught up with this thread, here's my worksop.
That's the 90# Yew ELB I'm working on sitting on the shave horse  :).
Of course I'm outside when the weather is fine, can't beat natural daylight.

Sadiejane, I like your urban wilderness cabin.  I bet it is a nice little escape from city life.

This might be a little late, but this is my workbench.  It was my first attempt at building a butcher-block stye top.  I stood up 2x4's through the center of the top for mounting a vice.  This allow me room to work both sides of the shaft.

Pearly:  That is one nice looking bow in the vice on that workbench. 

Del:  I always like the brick walls in your pictures.

I have a rather esoteric question for you Del!

In the upper right hand corner of the photo of your shop there is a cardboard box on a shelf.  I can't read the box completely, but apparently it once contained bottles of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.  What is the name of that winery?  And was it any good?

Here's my work bench in the summer time.

That pic-nic table has seen a few bows, even the local critters enjoy it. .... 8)

I wonder what kind of special stain you used on your bows.  Now, I know--Chicken Poop.  haha

It's a cheapish but palatable red wine from Italy imported into the UK by two brothers who run a fish and chip shop (Mr Luigi's) where I live.
I just like saying Montepulciano it has a nice lilt to it :)
It grieves me that we pay so much duty on wine in the UK, in France and Italy you can buy it so cheaply, dunno how much you guys pay for your Californian red.
I had a try out at home made cider in the Autumn, it's tasing quite good, it's cleared nicely and it rather dry. The price is great :). Next year I'll make a good old batch.

Maybe the lottery will pay off for one (or both) of us and we can swap stave stories over a cider.  Oh, real English fish and chips with malt vinegar and sea salt!  I have a better chance of finding a place to surf big waves here in South Dakota than I do getting fish and chips done right.

I built a nice one last year but I have so much junk on it that I can't find it or use it these days.  Still need to finish putting the big wood vice I pulled out of a farm old junk pile in the MN and brought it over here to Thailand.  we don't have garages here but they call them car ports and they have open sides.  I put some acrylic sheets up to waterproof the area behind my bench.

I'd like to build a storage room to hold more wood, bamboo and my tools so I could roll them out to work.

Here's my workbench.

Portable, knock down shaving horse with a nice big wooden clamp to hold the work. I would like to be standing up sometimes but my appartment is too small to accomodate a permanent workshop... It's not in the pics but I have a tillering tree I bolt to the clamp so I have everything I need to fully fabricate a bow.

Cheers!
