My Workshop

[poolhound]

Welcome to the forum. Thats a great looking space you have got there. I am jealous of the saw. Maybe one day I will also get my own dedicated space and a nice beefy cabinet saw - I can only wish :-)

DB - I thought I recognized that planer stand and then realized it was mine

It may be dry but 114 degrees was plenty hot when I was out that way 2004 visiting the Brother-in-law.

Nice shop, Gary.. Enjoy and remember that no matter what size you can make it work and you seem to be doing that.

[Gary Lange]

Thanks Sarge! I have a friend on the Atlanta Police Dept. and has has been around awhile.

You know, I keep looking at that floor, and the arrangement of tools, and I keep thinking Art Museum for some reason...

Kind of reminds me of the Menil Collection in Houston...

I could just walk around and stare at the goodies decorating that place for hours. And the museum isn't bad either...

[Gary Lange]

Db, I do the same at Grizzly which is much to close to me here in Missouri. I think in a bad traffic day it's like 20 min. I have an old Craftsman Jigsaw and table st around the corner that I am working on finishing the setup on. Fishing is to good right now to though.

[dbhost]

LOL... Yeah, I am kind of mad at Grizzly for ignoring the 4th largest city in the United States (Houston, Texas if you didn't know...) for a retail store.

The steep shipping costs are what keep me from buying Grizzly for the most part...

Love the shop. I find the top on the Radial Arm Saw caught my eye. Is that for cutting bowed wood or is it an optical illusion?

[Gary Lange]

Messmaker, Must be an optical illusion! Not bowed.

Now that I look at it, there's something funny in that corner of the picture. The top of the cabinet under the RAS definitely seems twisted/curved. But assuming the height of the doors on either side is equal, as is that of the drawers, the top seems equidistant from the floor. Anybody else see that?

[dbhost]

Yeah, that's an optical illusion from the camera. It's giving kind of a fish eye effect... If you line up with guides, the doors and drawers don't quite line up either... It's all perspective...

[Gary Lange]

For you skeptics here is the Radial Arm Saw with a level on the Table. Note that it is level and that the level itself sets flat along the table. No Bow here fella's.

Unbelievable. Here's a new member, making his first serious post - a nice one opening his shop to us all - and he has to defend whether his cabinets are square!

Thanks for taking it in good spirits, Gary. And welcome to BT3Central.

No, there's more to it : is his floor level? is his Level level? Is his camera crooked?

Actually, to come clean, need to use what I learnt from Seinfeld to tell to-be-dumped-girlfriends, "It's not you, it's me...!"

We are just kidding, Gary. As you can tell, we are only jealous of that nice workshop with beautiful pine floor. Looking great!

But as a learning shutterbug, that fisheye effect (thanks dbhost) on that earlier pic is real neat.

I contend that this brash new member has spent all day making a new top.,
