Complete Shop Remodel #3: Inching Closer…
Well, since it’s been awhile, I figure I’ll give an explanation…We had a major ice storm here at my house on January 26th and were without power until February 17th. Needless to say that pretty much killed my work on the shop for over three weeks. What’s worse is that I am off for 3 months during the winter and that little storm all but killed nearly a whole month of my vacation:( Since the power has been back on I have gotten back into the shop and am working to get it all lined out. I really don’t like too much. I have all the large tools set up and operational as well as the dust collection system. I ordered a dial indicator and base to help with precise setup on the machines, but they are close right now…just need a little fine tuning when my indicator comes in. I have just a couple of 110V wall sockets left to install, I have to paint and build some storage, etc and all should be done. I’m sure I’ll build storage and other shop fixtures a little here and there as I go which should work out really well. I have some clutter still mainly in one corner to put in its place wherever that may be. Anyway, this is just a little update and I snapped some pics to show things a little…there are pics of my tablesaw, bandsaw, planer, jointer, oscillating spindle sander, the dust collection system and the clutter I spoke about. There is also a picture of 282 board feet of Cherry that my buddy Bill and I picked up last week as well as about 75 board feet of Red Oak that I already had. Thanks for looking and I’ll post more later. –Jack
