As someone who's moved/traveled a lot, it's hard to imagine working in the same shop for 20+ years, and all the treasures you must have had in there tucked in all the corners. I wish I had been able to visit and rummage through it before so much was lost.
Still, it's been great to hear the progress along the way, and how your friends contributed time, materials and temporary workshop space to get you back on your feet. You have some great friends.
Also have enjoyed hearing how you've re-designed/re-created the tools that are essential to your work. Your imagination knows no bounds!
