OK, NOW I get it!  I never thought of your comment as negative in the first place. I have a friend who has spent a lifetime collecting antique metal working tools and he is highly skilled at using them. His shop is run on overhead shafts with wide leather belts. Everything, and I mean everything is in perfect order with a true museum like patina and quality. All of this is housed in a period correct wood framed shop. Even the lighting and switches are antiques. We laugh because someone once commented "All you care about is what this stuff looks like". He replied, Duh. I have a certain amount of his 'staging' influence around here, but we call his property 'Workmanlike Manor' and mine is perhaps better described as 'Dysfunction Junction'. The other kind of staging. Oh and Cas and Flatford, I need to keep those fires away. Gotta admit the air hose whipping around with a flaming rag melting onto it was a great (and scary) word picture.
