Another shop

[cutnshoot]

After several months I finally have the shop setup to where I feel I can start a real project instead of building a stand to put a tool on.I have not done anything but build stands and a work table so far. N





ow I'm ready for some real projects as soon as I get some rest. Age does catch up with you. Thanks to this great forum and all the advice and tips offered I am comfortable with all my tool selections. The space is one half a two car garage, kinda tight but workable. It's only a start but looking forward to many enjoyable hours of making sawdust. Now if I only had some wood

Nice looking shop! It seems we never quite finish our shops either. I'm always building a new cabinet or more shelving for mine.

Very nice, I know you'll enjoy working in there. The main thing I see in your shop that I wish was in mine is SPACE :-) I too have been building stands(mobile in my case) for all my tools so I can try to find room to work in a 10'X12' building. Think I've made it but I'd sure love to be able to work without moving tools.
Post pics of your finished projects.

Thanks for posting. It looks great! You are definitely ready to make sawdust "in anger".

I really like the workbench. It looks like it's going to be very useful.

Nice shop, Cutnshoot!

I see your other hobby is well in evidence in those pictures as well.

This is a very timely post. I'll be moving in about 60 days and the garage will become my temporary shop. I see a lot of good ideas here.
How does the plane like sharing the shop? Is dust and heat/cold a problem? LOML insists my helicopter will go to the garage, but I'm fighting that whether I win that battle is yet to be seen!).

[cutnshoot]

Don't give up the fight, keep the heicopter in the house, dust will be more of a problem than heat. Batteries like to be cool tho. If you lose the battle (likely-ha) keep the heli covered, those things aren't cheap by any means. Good luck

I like the mini-mill too, wish I had one.

cutnshoot, nice shop pards. How do you like the Dewalt planer?

[cutnshoot]

Shipwreck, The planer is probably the best tool I own. I have not used it very much but it cuts smooth as glass and no hint of snipe. With the small dust collector there is no mess at all. This tool I love.

Good looking Shop!! I am in the process of reclaiming mine as well.
