Welcome to The Old Okie Workshop

 

 

 

The Old Okie Workshop was established is 1958, the year I built my first workbench.  It has been in operation more or less continuously since then with some quiet periods during college.  Recently it has been taken to new heights!  Check back for more information soon including some videos of the most interesting stuff you've ever seen.

 

The Old Okie Workshop is at an undisclosed location in Edmond, Oklahoma.  The curator of the workshop is Richard Olsen who always wanted to be a curator of something and now is one!

 

Here are some videos for your enjoyment!
