Homer's workshop

Homer is a great friend who lives close to our shop. He is a true "mad scientist" even though he is a aesthetic visionary who can create what he dreams up. He truly enjoy his energy and he has more passion and enthusiasm in his little finger that most guys have in there entire being!

Homer disassembled an old dairy barn and used the laminated curved rafters to construct his workshop. He has always dreamed of having his ceiling open to allow natural light to "inspire" his craft and after buying a section of clear poly his vision turned into reality. Homer is a sucker for interesting materials be it plastic, metals or paint finishes but most of what he works with is scrap material so for him to buy a brand new.. --anything--- is amazing but he bit the bullet and got the exterior grade poly.

He took the "found" 2" square aluminum tubing and made a jig so he could use his body weight to mimic the curve of his rafters to make the framework. He used straight sections to tie it all together.

My brother Eben, 5 friends and myself were called upon to install this thing onto the roof of the shop. I had leave at 9:30 to show a Ferrari Daytona to a potential buyer from CA.
