Very nice shop, Wisard. You've got some great tools in there, too. That scroll saw looks primo.

[wisardd1]

It's a 1/3 hp foredom. one hangs and the big boy is clamped down horizontally. I also have woodcarver micro that does 50000 rpms with a built in woodburner.

Thank you both

[boodrow]

Wisard great lookin shop! I would love to have a shop set up like that.
How do u like the sand flea drum sander? Ive been lookin but the price scares the hell outta me ,

It doewn't have very much power. I think it is ok for minor sanding or sanding scrollsaw projects. I wouldn't buy one, I think you would be disappointed but ask a woodcraft store to demo it for you. Thanks for the compliments. One day a bigger table saw and a band saw. Oh by the way, the clamp rack is the one from Rockler, it is very practical and useful. Can't say enough about it.

Yeah I like the clamp rack , dont have near enough clamps to fill one up , If im not mistaken I have the same miter saw that u have , I love it as well. The most important piece of equip u have in ur shop that I dont is a refridgerator.

My shop.



For some reason I cannot get theother pictures posted. I will try again later.

The waterstone grinder with a plywood cover for the stone. The grinder is built from an old industrial washing machine.

The thing hanging from the ceiling is a toolbox which I finished yesterday. The toolbox will hold chainsaw and helmet and tools and lifting tongs. It fits the front of the tractor.


The home-made tablesaw and the dirty bench in the corner.


The octagonal cover keeps the chopping block clean so that it does not dull the axe. The lathe is a cheap chineese one which I hope to replace with a better one once I get the better one rebuilt.

I wish I could afford to buy a planer and a jointer but for now this is it....

[fredbelknap]

TW I like your shop. Looks like you use just about all the space you have. Nice collection of saws and hammers. Thanks for posting, it is kinda a different approach to woodworking.

[sawduster]

Love your table saw, TW.

Overall, your shop demonstrates a much different view of wood working than is commonly held here in the U.S. Very much, down to getting the job done with the tools at hand rather than finding the newest gadget to get it done.

[Ruffnek]

TW, I like your shop, too, especially that traditional bench in the first pic. It looks well used.

Well, here's mine. I would do a lot of things differently if I could have a do-over but I enjoy my shop, nonetheless. I placed 120 vac outlets every 4' along the walls at 4' high but I didn't install any 240 vac outlets until I needed them for tools. That's one thing I would do differently...place the 240 outlets side-by-side with the 120 vac ones.

First, a sketch of the layout.



Looking down the left side from just inside the entry door. The Cobalt air compressor on the left is one of the tools I want to move outside the main shop when I get the extension built.



A sheet sandpaper holder on the end of the base cabinet top.



A hand tool wall cabinet...screwdrivers, chisels, files, rasps, etc.



My 10" Craftsman miter saw...a gift from LOML at Christmas about 10 years ago. The plywood "box" on the wall behind the saw is an extension of the 6" PVC duct for dust collection. I reduced the depth of the box to 4" for a couple inches more room for the saw. The cabinet base the saw sits on is also a box with a perforated top for sort of a down-draft table. It works okay, not great.



Some of my clamps (most of the bar clamps are in use) saws and the benchtop mortiser. The mortiser is normally stored underneath in the base cabinet when not in use.



The $89 Ryobi OSS, battery charging station, finish cabinet (what a mess). There's also a junk joinery mechanism hanging on the wall... a Kreg K-3 system.



My bench...covered up as usual. you can also see the Griz GO586 jointer that is just in front of the bench.



The back wall showing the upper cabs, assorted tools and stuff on perforated hardboard and the DeWalt 733 planer I haven't decided what to do with yet. The base cabinet is open underneath and there's a DW 5500 watt generator and some other stuff under there. I plan to remove the countertop and put a door where that perforated hardboard is now when I get the addition on back built.



The Jet wet grinder is mounted to a base that sits on top of a rolling cabinet. I move it around as it gets in the way. The new-to-me scroll saw has not yet found a home, either.


In the right, back corner is the Oneida cyclone. You can also see my drill press, a scrap wood bin and the drill cabinet on the wall. Therer are BS blades hanging below the wall cabinet.






Moving forward along the R/H wall, the GO513 band saw. Also, some long pipe clamps stacked against the wall.



My newest too, the Grizzly 15" planer.



Next is my grinder and lathe tools. The cabinet for the grinder is the base off of a 12" Craftsman band saw that I used to own. I closed it in and added a couple of drawers to hold turning stuff.



My first and only lathe so far...the Jet 1236. I still have the sanding disk and table mounted on it. It also has ~300 lbs of sand holding it stationary.



On the wall above the lathe and grinder is lumber storage although access is hindered by the overhead door rails. I also plan to replace that door with two 4' hinged doors.



Moving back to the center of the shop, facing the door, this is my Grizzly 1023SLX tablesaw with extension and outfeed tables.



Just past the TS outfeed is my assembly/finishing table. I salvaged the legs and base from one my son found that had a rotted/peeling particle board/laminate top. I replaced the 3/4" Melamine outfeed table on my TS and used the old outfeed (flipped over) as a top for the assembly table. Those rolls of brown paper at the Borg are a bit too long but I cut them to size on my miter saw to fit the table width.



Finally, inside the overhead door is where I usually park the 4' rolling sheet storage cart. To the right of it towards the entry door is the sink cabinet, which is a real lifesaver. It's easily worth the space it consumes.



That's it, the grand tour. Over the next few months, I hope to do
some major alterations, including adding more lights, adding an addition on the back and changing the overhead door to two hinged ones...that is if I can quit woodworking long enough to work on it. If i get them done, i'll post some pics showing the work. Until then, thanks for looking.

Very nice shop Cody!! Looks like you got it definitely together.

[Leo Voisine]

Quite an awesome shop there.

I like the organization you have going in there.

I too have visions of building some small outside spaces for the compressor and DC. I also want to build a Generator shed and hook that into the house electric.

I already store my lumber in my 10 x 20 shed and upstairs on the shop attic area.

Glad you're back home.

[wisardd1]

wow!

[imahic]

Nice shop, Cody. Getting some good ideas here. Now if I can just get it cleaned up. It is looking better though.

Mike

[deepsplinter]

Suweet!!

The only thing I'd add is maybe some dog stained, cigarette burned, dust filled carpet.

[wisardd1]

How about sawdust and peanut sheills!

[boodrow]
