What does your shop look like??

Yup - click on the image - you'll see them more clearly.

OMG - now i see them, they are big, they are alive, run for you lives!!

what size are they, and how/where do you use them? So i take it you don't like circle-cutters or hole-saws?

[RodKirby]

I'll get back to you with sizes - it's 4:50am

Edit: From 3-1/8" down to 1/4" in 1/8" decrements.

Used at about 250RPM (in a DP obviously), they cut a very clean hole.

You're right - I don't own a hole saw, but I do have a circle cutter - used once

onedash, that's interesting the way you have your clamps hanging on the front of that steel storage shelf unit. I realize you were probably just improvising, but that's a nice idea for making a given amount of floor space do double duty. I'm going to file that thought away, for possible future use.

I used to keep them on the white cabinet on the wall until I got to many.
There is a bunch of junk in the rafters that belongs to the homeowner which I think is pretty crappy that they didn't clean it out before renting it.

While my shop is 10 X 12 is still is fun. The deck idea came from Pappy's playpen. We are thinking of expanding the deck so we can put the Bar B Que up there and still have room to work when needed. When the shop was built it was not intended to be for woodworking but just a shop to keep the tools and tinker in. Then I bought the saw and found this site. Now the saws in the garage along with the Miter saw. I am planning on getting a Jointer and that will end up in the Garage also. I am getting ready put a bench with storage underneath where the white cabinets are now. Nice thing is it is insulated and heated. The main tools in the shop are the router table, HF Drill Press and HF Band Saw. It also has a loft for wood storage.

I would post pictures of what my shop looks like, but I lost my camera in there somewhere.

Temporary Shop

Waiting to build new house where I will have a dedicated 12'x24' shop in the rear of the garage. Will start construction in Mar/Apr timeframe as the location is above the snow line in So Cal.

The planets aligned the other day, which means I took time to tidy up the shop:

Jet mini, with a little table space to the right:




Next to that is my SCMS bench, with oscillating spindle/belt sander. (The SCMS fence pops out to allow the OS/B to come forward -- just implemented this design last weekend.):




And, next to that -- DP and jointer:




Workbench, with planer tucked under the vise at left:




Drum sander on mobile cart, some pipe clamps:




Table saw, mobile outfeed/assembly table, another clamp rack on the far wall:




Entry way, DC by the door, dehumidifier (tied into its own drain -- nice), and BS:




And not a minute too soon; the dust and piles of offcuts have already re-formed!

Regards,
Tom

My basement shop. This was taken during glueup of my daughter's rocking horse. Since then a clamp rack has been added on the left where the extension cords are and the drill press changed places with the white cabinet you can just see on the right.

On the first page there are some pics of peoples BTs and they have the aluminum miter slots. Where can I find slots like these for my 21829?

I don't believe any actual woodworking goes on in any these shops. They are all too clean and organized with no junk lying around. Clearly these are woodworking shop museums. Strange there are no stifly arranged scary manikins in period dungarees or shop coats though.

I'd post a picture of my err "shop" but the macro feature on my camera is broken so I can't get it in focus.
