Here's some pictures of my dads little shop in the mountains of North Carolina. He's a classic hoarder (& the apple doesn't fall far from the tree) My dad has piddled in all kinds of wood working but I think his best talent has been carving. Here's some pictures of his little paradise.

Unfortunately it is a very big problem with him & my mom as he needs to get rid of some stuff so they can move into possibly an assisted living home. I know he needs to keep some of it but he thinks he needs and can keep it all. Big problem.

I LOVE that place! It kills me that he has to move away from a lot of it. I am sure that is hard.
I wish them luck figuring it all out.

I love the beaver pelt, and I love not knowing why it's there! :)
 
Thats the problem with doing something that you love. Someone always comes along and puts a stop to it! :))
 
It's going to take me another 20 years to get my shop looking like that. Then it will it will be time to move to a smaller one.

Good luck sorting it out. Start with small stuff first, it won't look so bad.

Charlie,
Is it not possible for you to "down size" your dads shop a bit, & take some of it to your place &when the old fellow comes to see you at vacation times he still sees a bit of his shop it will be a comfort to him, The loss of his shop completely is a fearful wrench, I do not know how I will feel when that horrible day arrives
 
Solid trees have deep roots, and yield good apples.
Yes, it will be difficult to uproot him.
However, for all things there is a season.

If there are items you don't know the history on, perhaps he will still remember.
Perhaps.....
 
Charlie,

Wow, that is one cool looking place - both outside and inside! I would love to have something like that. Good luck with your folks. This point in their lives is not easy for them our you. Enjoy them while you can.
