    Quite a collection of power tools and an intresting use of space.

    I didn't see one handplane.

        I've seen his shop in the precurser to "America's Best Shops" series of magazines. Not near this many photos, though.

            Nice I guess, but too cramped and crowded for my taste, How in the heck do you move around in so much clutter, looks like one of those pack-rat homes

              Not a lot of things qualify for a 'holy crap', but I think this does.

                Tommy, with how much stuff you buy I figured this is what your shop looks like

                        impressive stuff, he's obviously a tool collector as well as a woodworker.

                          And everybody says Nahm has too many power tools! Seriously, though, the mind boggles. I'm impressed with how he's got all that nested together. I wonder if the guy was a submariner earlier in his life.

                          Here's how I know I've been thinking about woodworking too much: on the way to my mom's house I pass the now-closed Fenton Chrysler plant. It has a sign that says something like "For Sale: 3 million sq. ft. under one roof." My first thought was "Wow, that would make a great shop." LOML threatened to kill me, chop me into pieces, bury the pieces, dig them up, sew them back together then kill me all over again.
