I have been in countries where the presidential palace didn´t look that nice.

Nice job, Dave. 8)

I just ordered the Wixey and now I have to dust off the shop expansion plans!

All kidding aside, you did a fine job converting the old garage for a higher purpose

Beautiful shop... Boy I feel ashamed to call mine a shop... :-(

Easy answer........1200 cfm of dust collector air going outside = 1200 cfm of my heat going outside.

That doesn't look like a woodworking shop. It looks like a new tools sales display. Put some sawdust on the floor and it will look like a working shop. ;D

About 2" of dust, that cushions your feet. Steve

Very nice shop.

It is so much easier working in a shop with room and organization. I have my other half to thank for that. He has taught me to clean up any mess I have before I start something new and to put everything back in its place! :D
We have a dust collector and it makes a big difference. Enjoy your new shop

Very Very Very Very Very NICE... only I didn't see a beer fridge!! Don't get after me.. the beer only comes out after the tools are put away.. or at least down!!

It's actually just inside the entry door going into the house from the shop. ;D And you are absolutely right......................"the beer only comes out after the tools are put away." You'll never see a beer in the shop, especially when there's work to be done. ;)

I think that floor is way too clotured with tools , ya got no more space in there to work , back the pick-up to those doors at the end of July , load all it can take , bring those to the piggy roast , we will help with disposal and get you some working space . :P ;D

Nice shop . ;)

My Uncle Norm did not allow anyone in his shop with sodas either. He told me them slobs would set the cans on his table saw or shaper and leave the condesate drip on his tables then he had to clean the rust up.
