Here's My Workshop!
By Bruce Mayfield

My shop is 800 sq ft and it is made up of two stories.

I use a a pellet stove to heat it in the winter and a small 12 btu air conditioner to cool it in the summer. It is powered for 70 amp service with its own breaker box.

I started building when I was 13 months old when my Grandmother gave me a tool set, which contained a saw, hammer, ruler and a screwdriver. I decided to remodel my crib by sawing out the rungs and making it into a day bed. I received my first power tools when I was 7 years old. I built trucks for my little brother for his birthday. Since then I have been building toys as well as houses and commercial buildings. I guess working with wood is in my veins.

Now that I am retired I am back to building toys again.
