Some of you know that I have moved and had to move my shop and all of my tools, major pain in the back side. Been setting up shop again and the progress has been slow. I'm not a kid anymore and working 2 jobs takes a lot out of me, doesn't leave much energy for working on the shop. That is going to change one day soon.
Well here's some pics of the new shop, not quite done but almost with the wood shop side, then on to the metal shop side. The metal shop side will be easier.
This is half the wood shop, almost done. Shop lights are a mix of t5 and t8 . It's very well lit.
I scored this cyclone dust collector on craigslist cheap. And the variable speed delta bench top drill press, and the drum sander. Did I mention that I have a sickness, lol.
The back wall has 16' of base cabinets all sourced from habitat for humanity dirt cheap, lots of drawers for tools and supplies. That is also the base for my miter saw station.
Another dust collector I scored cheap. Stereo, flip top planer cart, lumber rack, and the doorway. Looking out the door is where the metal shop is going to be.
Most of my power tools are on wheels, I wheel em out when I need them and then push em up against a wall when I'm done. 8" long bed jointer. And drum sander.
This is a shop made air cleaner that I keep under the work bench, uses an old furnace squirrel cage, works really good! That work bench is soon to be replaced with a real wood workers work bench, that will be one of the first projects in the new shop.
My brand spanking new 18" wood lathe!!!! I have wanted a lathe upgrade for years.
SWo this is just some of my progress on the new shop. There was so much work done just to get to this point. I think I pulled about 250' of new wire, removed a bunch of old wire, changed the breaker panel in the house, removed a drop ceiling to get to the old wiring, removed walls, added walls, and on and on. But the end is near and the reward so worth it.
