Smoke up Johnny…..

Great video, I don’t have much of a shop. I have rougly 35% of a one car garage. Well maybe a little more like 50%. But in a few years I am moving to a new house and we agreed that we would get a three car garage. I will either build an outbuilding or take 2 of the bays for my first real shop. She does not know it yet but I am planning to frame, drywall and insulate the shop section. :-)

On another topic. Marc, in NJ did you get WPIX back in the day? Do remember the edited version of the Breakfast Club? Flip you, NO Flip you…it was amusing, I appreciated the BC reference!

Marc,

Congrats on the move (even if it wasn’t under the best circumstances). I for one am excited about you going with a minimalist-style work flow for a bit. It will be a great inspiration and instruction tool for us Single-Garager’s out there to see what all can be done with a small space, few tools, and know-how.

Can’t wait to see what you give us next!

I got a kick out of the ‘knocked up shop’ joke, and was waiting for ‘censoring bars’ to pop up on the video… ;)

your garage doors at the old hose are slick.

Hey Marc,

I’ve been out in Afghanistan for the last six months so I haven’t been able to get much of the show in. I just now got to watch this episode and loved it.

Honestly I don’t recall. I always sell my stuff locally to friends at a deep discount. So I don’t think that would be a good judge of what a comparable unit would cost in today’s market. I would monitor Craigslist in your area to get a better idea. In general, these bigger machines hold their value very well.

how much did you sell that planer for? I want to get an idea of how much a used one would cost.

Hey Jack. That is indeed a new planer. Its a 15″ model instead of the big 20″ unit I used to have.

I am building a new shop but not until the old house sells. For now the 3 car garage will work just fine.

Electricity is going to be run from a sub-panel to the saw.

I have some questions. did you get a new planer? i noticed that the planer in this video has cast tablesinstead of rollers in the in and outfeed positions. I am also very worried that your garage will work. are you building a new shop or not? how did you get the electricity in your garrage for the table saw?

As a person who doesn’t have room for machinery like a table saw (I share my two car garage with two cars and the wife and kids stuff), I’m looking forward to seeing what type of jigs you come up with for your circular saw and router to serve you until your shop is complete.

One of the things I’m having trouble with is cutting narrow strips of material with a consistent width, less than 4in, using just a circular saw and a guide. (Example: cutting my own face frame material)
