Looks pretty good considering you have limited space. I wish my shop had a sink like yours. It stinks having to run upstairs to wash up and run the risk of accidently getting some stain or other product on a fixture in the kitchen. I'm toying with trying to mount a wood collection bin on my foundation wall as opposed to it sitting on the floor propped against the wall.
Anyway, looks good.What's her's is her's and what's mine is her's! -

The shop looks good, Terry, especially with the space limitations you are dealing with. Getting everything to fit in there will make the extra 41sf more of a bonus after you move to the other side.Don, aka Pappy,

Hey Terry:
Thanks for sharing pictures of a real shop, with all the compromises that most of us have to live with. I especially appreciated your ergonomically angled router table power switch (sorry, it makes perfect sense, but I had to laugh when I saw it), and your custom, counter-sprung overarm TS blade guard mount (which frankly is brilliant).

Are your sure you got enough WD-40 there T-Man? I guess you know you're in the tundra when you need 12 cans of the stuff on hand.
Living in the desert, I think I have 2 cans on hand.
Nice shop too.

While I like the ingenuity and adjustability of the blade guard, I wonder if it can actually serve its purpose of guarding. Seems like it would be easily batted out of the way in the event of kickback or accidentally moving one's hand into the wrong position. Not that even the Shark is perfect in that respect . . . one could push one's hand under it, for instance. But there does seem to be a point at which the guard becomes merely a visual reminder like the red line.- David

About 10 years ago there was an urban legend going around that the government wasn't going to allow WD-40 to be manufactured any longer due to environmental concerns. My wife heard that story, so for Christmas I got a case full. Haven't had to buy any since (nor will I probably ever have to again!) I've got the rest of them stored in the garage.quote:Originally posted by bmyers

T_man,
Your wife's response is interesting....
On the one hand, she's clearly thinking of you and in tune with what's needed in the shop.
On the other hand, upon learning of a product's possible envrironmental hazard she loads up on said product! I trust your life insurance is paid up.

Sounds like a Steven Wright Question "Why do cans of WD-40 rust?"

I did that with 1,1,1 tricloroethane. Bought a 45 gallon drum right before it was banned here. Same when they pulled Vioxx, I ran an ad to buy up everyone's leftovers. Now everyone ELSE in town is in pain, but me, I'll take the risk of the one in ten million possible stroke.
If it's ten years old, you probably still have the WD-40 that used propane as propellant. It used to work like a poor man's ether for starting diesels. Not anymore! Only thing I use it for anymore is tapping aluminum.Comment

was that the original tap magic?? seems like ive read on the new cans that they no longer contain thatquote:
