Jumping around on the webb page landed on the Fotress of wooditude. Small shops require really neat people? Saw another 12x 32 shop and it was more like mine. cluttered. Hey let’s not knock Norm especially when he is down. Lost Delta and Portercable sponsers. Really like the interactive feel of Marc’s site. wil be stealing many good ideas and of course giving cedit.:)

Good one, Marc. Why do they even call them garages anymore, anyway?

Nice shop.

I must mention that I to was trying to decide between the Hitachi TS and the Ridgid. I came to a very different conclusion. I liked the trunions on the Hitachi, there pretty beefy and solid.

It seemed to me that everything below the table surface on the Hitachi was better, and everything above was better on the Ridgid.

I’ve been pretty happy with the Hitachi, it is what it is, a $500. TS. I think its solid and very accurate for the $$

Nice Shop,
Your next step is to open the wall and the car sits outside.

It’s a great little shop, with some nice touches. I particularly like the easily reached first aid kit and the fire extinguisher. A good rule of thumb for fire extinguisher placement is to put it right next t the exit of the room. Mine is by the garage door….

I beg to differ Marc… I use mine as a press for large lamination glue ups.

We call those “woodworking-inhibiting devices”. They are a terrible nuisance and should be eradicated as soon as possible!

Nice shop, but what is that big yellow tool in the last photo that takes up so much space in your shop?

It’s Nahm. My wife printed it off of the New Yankee website and framed it in an old rustic barnwood-looking frame then hung it in my shop as a gag. I liked it, so I kept it.
