I was wondering, where to do you your finishing? Is it safe to say you don't spray your finishes? Or is there a spray room somewhere in there? I don't see any drying racks either. I don't mean to harp on the finishing, but with everything else seemingly so well supported, it seems to be the one thing that isn't there. Thanks, Michael from Brooklyn NY Hi Mike.

I've been telling you I needed to see your shop since we met that night at the woodworking club meeting. Wow... the guys were right. What a setup. You need to come check out my shop one of these days, or heck, maybe you'll see it here first. :-) Hey there Mike!

It is an online yahoo forum, with over 1000 members who can answer anything about Felder's and most other tools out there. Todd,

I wish I had the space! I believe I have the exact same saw that you do down to the table length. I bought mine used and am still figuring it out. Have you had any trouble with the outrigger and keeping it lined up so that your long crosscut fence stays parallel to the sliding table? Very nice shop! I wish I had the space!

You have a beautiful shop and well equipped. Only thing you need there is a couch in case a few of your furniture customers need a little counseling. Great job. I'll be looking forward to a video tour of your shop with Marc Mike, Being a psychiatrist, maybe you could tell us if there is a cure for TOOL ADDICTION.

I tore down a little one car garage to make room for a three car. Ended up starting a construction company and the rest is history! Looks great! Congrats on the garage space.

This IS a hobby shop. I am sorry if that makes anyone depressed, no fear though i am a psychiatrist. Which is what I do "on the side" so I can afford my tool addiction. When I was in residency I sold a lot of furniture to other physicians and was able to buy a majority of the tools that you see. That was the deal I had with my wife, the shop had to be somewhat self sufficient. I sold many picture frames, casework, small decorative accessories etc... Now that I am out of residency I only make furniture for sale if I can get the price I think is worth my time. I also have two young boys now and I really don't have the same amount of time to spend in the shop, so I prefer to make furniture for my boys or our family. Marc and I are planning a video tour of my shop in the next few months, which should be very fun. I am happy to answer any other questions about the shop or tools I have..... Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Well I guess it is time for me to end the speculation…. This IS a hobby shop. I am sorry if that makes anyone depressed, no fear though i am a psychiatrist.

I thought I was cool when I upgraded my saw blade and miter gage but... Are you a major league hobbiest or is this for professional use? Mike – Wow.
