Hi, Tek.
Nice, easy piece of prose. It's uncomfortable. Truthfully, the aging process scares me a little. Right now (and hopefully for a long time yet to come) I am able to enjoy what ever hobby I take up. I do think about the possibility that may not always be the case. The futility of life and experience piss me off. Your descriptions of a well loved shop are melancholic, and elicited an emotional response from me, so kudos. Right at this moment I am sorely missing my grandfather, remembering how difficult it was to "clean out" his shop. Some of his tools are still present, but the smell of fresh sawdust is gone, and sometimes the lack of that smell is harder on me than the passing anniversary of his birthday.
I don't really have any crit for you.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
