Well, last night there was an electrical fire in my shop and it all burned to the ground. There’s nothing even recognizable of my xcarve anymore.

I talked with my insurance company about this very issue. They stated the coverage I have will cover the machine if something happened within the garage. I was thankful to hear that. Sorry to see. Hope you are able to rebuild soon.

Ooof.

Sorry to hear that.

When I was about 10 yrs old, my neighbors house burned down. I have been afraid of that my whole life. I even dream about it sometimes.

Well, that certainly blows…

From a more optomistic view, once the ashes are cleaned up and insurance comes through, (hopefully)  
you can look forward to making the new shop be just what you want, taking into account all the things that you did not like or just did not get the desired experience from with the old one. In much clearer terms, you can make the new shop fit you and your style rather than adapting yourself to what was already there.

Best wishes.

Thanks for all the support. I just finally wrapped up with all of the insurance adjuster’s, so now we wait and see what the award will be. So far, this is all that I have found of the

I thought about doing that with anything that looked semi decent. Making some kind of wall of fame for the old tools.
