Workshop Tour

Welcome to my workshop, it is located in a two car garage measuring approximately 17x17 with a 2-1/2 foot step up in the back. I'm fortunate enough that our garage is dedicated to being my workshop.  We park our cars outside and just recently I moved all of my lawn equipment into a small shed in our backyard; check out issue #1 of the newsletter for more information about that.

I am by no means a professional tool reviewer but I do plan to write up reviews on all of the tools I have purchased so far

These pictures were taken mid 2009, sorry that they are a bit grainy but for now they will have to do, the workshop like many things around here is in a state of transition, we will be talking about a lot of workshop projects and updating these pictures as we go along.

In this view you can see my Delta contractor table saw, Rockler router table, home made out feed table, my first work bench (soon to be replaced) and a pile of wood leaning against the wall

Here you can see the back wall of the shop, I built three large shelves that span a majority of the usable space on top of the step up. Most of the items you see here are lawn care items that have since been moved out to the shed; I have big plans for using these shelves to organize and store all of my tools and keeping my precious floor space for stationary tools and assembly areas.

Another view of the back wall, sitting to the left is a Delta 13" two speed planer. The rest of the wall still has some usable space, maybe for a clamp rack. I Recently built a shelf above the door to hold my stereo and hang my shop aprons on.

Another view of the left wall, here on the floor you can see my Porter Cable pancake compressor, I bought the kit that came with 3 nails guns, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compressor.
