    Do I have issues? MAJOR gloat

    To break it down, since Christmas alone, I've bought a 12" Enco Table saw, a 16 1/2" Delta Drill Press, a 3 or 4 gallon 135psi compressor, a 25 gallon 150psi compressor, a 12" Craftsman bandsaw, a 6902 PC router (both bases), Craftsman 16" scrollsaw, Delta 1ish inch sander w/6" disc, Ridgid random orbit sander, Dewalt 4 or 5 inch grinder, misc. chisels & electrical tools...and tomorrow/later today, I'll be getting a 6" jointer (HF-Central Machinery).

    The best part, the highest I've paid for anything to date is 100 bucks.
    I'm spending so much time gathering these tools, I'm running out of time to use them.

    Issues? Yeah, I'm running out of space.
    Enco 12" RT table saw(with router table currently added to right wing), Central Machinary 6" jointer, Delta 16" (17-900) drill press, Ridgid 14" bandsaw, Jet bench top Mortising machine, Porter Cable 6901 series routers (2) and a wide variety of Ryobi 18v tools.

      That is some shopping list. You must be pasted to Ebay or Craigslist. Now for that dream shop to be complete, you'll need a planer and a lathe.

      As for space, nuts like us always figure out a place for everything. Actually drill presses work pretty good in the bedroom. They aren't that loud.

              Sounds like some good deals. You can't have too many toys.

                  Since this post, I've gotten rid of the 12" bandsaw, gotten a 14" Ridgid one, got a Jet benchtop mortiser, sold the drill press and gotten another one, got the jointer mentioned above and added an oscillating spindle sander (Ridgid). . .just a few toys...

                      You don't have issues until you can look through the latest HF flyer and not see anything you need or want!
