As last year I made desk for my Home-Office using my wardrobe wooden doors. It turned out to be good. Then, with the help of my husband, he asked me to view products it was the high back mesh chair. I got one and it's good that finally I was ready to work for my Home-Office.

Just another year or so and I may have the shop where I can actually design some new projects that aren't shop projects ;-0

Just a suggestion:
Cut a groove into the table top, the depth of the head of the Woodpecker "T" square at 9o degrees to the front edge. This will give the "T" square to track or slide in, and allow it to clear the window frame for maximum drawing height. You can also insert an aluminum track slot for the "T" track to ride against with a bit of teflon tape to minimize wear on the square.

Thanks, great suggestion.....have too many shop projects, plus we still have not finished the shop!
Right now I'm working on a set of drawers to go under my workbench, so many dovetails so little time....

I like your shop even if I can only see a small corner.
Looks great!

Thanks for the compliments...
The shop is a converted horse barn, it had 7 large stalls on the side I used for the wood shop and I converted 5 of them into the shop.
The area in the picture is my hand tool shop, there is also a machine area. Made all the casement type windows, they are copied from some windows I had to rebuild for our well house cir 1890..
The best decision I made was to not do a concrete floor, the wood was more expensive but worth it in the end.
Thanks again,
Andy
