OK, here is mine, stuffed in an extra (my description, not Wife's) bedroom. Not fancy, and I am a bit messy, but I can do most anything I need to in house.

This is the current work area. The room has gone through several evolutions over the years, including a too long period where computers took over and faceting stopped.

Very nice shop Mary. Looks like you can do whatever needs to be done. Computers have no soul, stones are the soul of our planet.
