   Thanks for sharing your space and ideas with us. It would be nice to have a blog where everyone who has a “shop” could share their space and ideas.

   “Make your bench bigger than you need it to, because you’re gonna keep going on this journey and it’s just gonna get bigger”

   Truer words have never been spoken. It’s a disease, really. And there is no cure.

   Where are you at Knudson? Wondering if you’d do the occasional job for a fellow WRXer? Could use my loft/lies adjusted this offseason. The guys down at Edwin Watts – where I’d probably take them – just don’t seem to do the job just right.

   Solvent is nasty stuff…. Use air compressor to put grip on over blue painter’s tape.

   One suggestion is to keep reloading ammo separate from your golf work area.
   Learned a hard lesson, grinding clubheads on the same bench my son used for reloading ammo and a small spark from the grinding wheel set off some gun powder dust. By the time I could smell smoke the flames were two feet high on the bench. (Learn to use a fire extinguisher before you need to use it)

   Saved the house, but have burn scars for life. Needless to say, ammo is no where near.

   Didn’t watch the video… did he mention anything about ventilation? If he’s cutting a lot of graphite shaft tips/butts there will be a lot of graphite micro-fibers floating about and settling on everything including his eyes and lungs. Not good….

     Thanks! It really depends on what grips you are currently using compare to the Jumbo Max. If a grip is about 5g heavier it will reduce the swingweight about 1pt. So depending on weight difference the club head could feel lighter. Some lead tape on the heads should get it back to its current swingweight pretty easily.

     Jumbo max grips
     weight: Std oversize (SO) 57g, Junior (JR) 87g, Small (SM)98g, Medium (MD) 105g, Large (LG) 116g, X-large (XL) 122g.

     A standard grip is 50 grams, so a jumbo max grip is going to add 7 to 72 grams to the butt end.
     Good luck adding lead tape to compensate.

    Thanks, Brian. It brought back fond memories of my dad’s hobby. It was an easy addition for him, since he already had an impressive work space with tools.

    My first assorted set included a 2-wood, mashie and niblick with hickory shafts, and a good copy of Bobby Jones’ “Calamity”.

    I appreciated your mentions of ventilation, lighting, and solvent. Handling solvent properly is important. Especially if kids and pets are roaming.

    Brian – good looking shop, I might suggest adding a FM-200® (Heptafluoropropane) fire extinguisher. This stuff safely replaced Halon. No reason to burn up your house
    from a fire.

      Thank you, I really appreciate it. I cleaned it up right before I filmed, usually it is a mess!

    Was watching this as my wife passed by me. Exact words were “stay in the garage, or I’ll kill you”! LOL!

      The key to that one is to sketch some plans with a work bench area that takes up the space where her car usually parks!
