I know...you are thinking it looks rather messy but I assure you that it is a symphony of organized chaos! A veritable sonata of utilitarian utopia. Every great artist, inventor, handyman and craftsman has a place from which to work their magic. Edison had Menlo Park, Orville and Wilbur had the bike shop, Santa had the North Pole, Willy had the Inventing Room and I have "the barn."
Here is where I create, repair, craft, teach and amuse myself. It is MySpace (pun intended). Fashioning objects from wood, plastic and metal. Harnessing the inner creator that is in all of us. And feeling the sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a project.
This is where I am at peace. Amid the hum and whir of machinery and the smell of oil, wood and gas (from the chainsaw!) I find solace. These are the things that revive my spirit and renew my soul.
So I hope you enjoyed your peek into my realm. For it is all you are going to get, because I have work to do. :)
Thank you for posting the place where your masterpieces come to life!
ReplyDeleteNice work area, it is your place of piece and relaxation. That is where you come up with all of your creative ideas. We all need a place that we can go to for just ourselves. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you like to spend time in such a great work area. I bet you've come up with many amazing and talented ideas and projects in this place. Just like Jessica stated above...we all need a place we can go to and become what we were created to do. Thanks for sharing yours with us!
ReplyDeleteChris- very poetic post. Makes me want to go and turn something on the lathe. Amazing how working with wood, plastic, or other materials can just calm the soul and help you be at peace with things.
