I'd be afraid that if the shop was done first the house would never be done. But I've been living in a place for almost 50 years where neither are done. The yard is a mess too.

That is quite a saw. I got my band saw out of the back of the shed yesterday to clean it up for the Chevy wood project. Also checking out the table saw to see if I can make it work again or if I need to get another one. I cut too much firewood and aluminum with it.

Browning was certainly on the genius side maybe with a touch of savant. It would be interesting to know how his designs came to him. In some cases they seem to come from nothing before them and other times he improved what he and others had done. Complication didn't slow him down. Rather than simplify the complication he often just made it work anyway. It is amazing how rugged many of his designs are. A good old loose rattling 1911 will just keep going.
