I was able to have the shop and mill buildings started at the same time about three years ago. Seems to take me a long time to complete projects. Both building were completed and the first order was to get the mill up and running. I put in a Baker 3650E with an edger, couldn't be happier with the set up.
Next I ended up putting the shop on hold and built a 50' x 32' lumber shed. Couldn't be happier with this building.
So the time has come to complete the shop. I've gathered up the equipment over the past year, jointer, planner, straight line rip saw, spindle moulder, table saw, band saw, drill press and a Weinig moulder. I made random width cypress paneling and will soon have that installed. Then will work on getting the dust collection system in. When the shop is completed the last piece will be a kiln.
My plan is to have everything completed before I retire. I want to work in the back yard milling and making lumber for talented people. I've met so many talented craftsmen in the past few years.
I'll try to post some pictures as the shop comes together.
Merry Christmas everyone!
