Lately I have the TV on in the garage to watch some of the tournament basketball games, but that's a hard way to get work done, especially during the last 2 minutes of the game, which can last an hour.....

Usually I have the music on just loud enough so that if my wife calls out to me to do something, I can use the excuse that I didn't hear her on account of the music.

Must have music usually old cowboy or celtic. Native American flutes , drums, chants. Herb Alpert, Dave Brubeck or ???????? whatever. Maybe a pine or fir scented candle across the room and a bottle of Green tea(with lid). Lots and lots of light both natural and electric. Two goose neck lamps on table to eliminate shadows an overhead with 4 bulbs and between two windows. A good friend built me a tool box out of black walnut wood it is about 30 inches long 16 inches wide and 24 inches tall with 2 lift out stamping tool blocks that will hold about 200 tools it has 2 drawers for sewing/ lacing supplies and tools and one for hand tools such as grovers, edgers pliers etc. This sets on a hardwood furniture dolly. So it's lights on , music on ,roll out the tool box open up and go to work.

You have a picture of that toolbox? I've been planning to make a new one and am looking for ideas. Thanks.

Now that my new shop is done I can't wait for summer weather! I love working when it's good and warm even hot. As far as listening pleasure, I do a lot while the EIB network is on, other than that my musical tastes are pretty varied.

My father was particularly fond of classical music and as a wee child I too developed a fondness for it. Growing up I heard his collection so many times it is indelibly etched in my brain. While working in the shop I enjoy the silence - no fridge humming, no micro beeping and definitely no radio or tv. There is an old saying that a low tolerance of unnecessary noice is a sign of high intelligence. Well, I must be a genius if that's the case. Lol. Any time I want music my brain will play the most beautifully orchestrated music to suit whatever I am doing.
