Finally, a thorough look at my new digs. Now my hope is that this shop is just temporary, until we sell the other house. But until then, I can make my 3-car garage a comfortable place to produce great projects! Enjoy the shop tour!
Danny Byrd’s Shop – Shop Tour
This Viewer Shop comes from Danny Byrd who’s starting his own business. Let’s hear about his awesome shop!
My name is Danny Byrd I have a 24 year background in construction and the last 13 years as a commercial construction superintendent. I have been building furniture and cabinets for the last 12 years and teaching myself new techniques to improve my skills with every project. I have been laid off since last Sept. and haven’t had much luck finding another superintendent position, so I’ve been trying to make a start at my own woodworking business. The shop is a 26ft. x 40ft. pole building that I built in 2005. I framed in the walls to insulate and drywall. I also decided to frame and sheet the floor instead of concrete. It has a 200 amp independant service. It’s location is about 100′ from my back door. Tools are as follows, 5hp Delta unisaw, DJ20 jointer, 15″ x5 Delta planer, Powermatic 14″ bandsaw w/ 6″ riser block, Jet 18″ 3hp. band saw, Delta dust collector, Powermatic 79T mortise machine, Performax 22-44 plus drum sander, Delta model 52-625 belt/disc sander, Craftsman 17″ drill press, Delta 46-202p wood lathe, 10″ Makita miter saw, 60 gal. air comp. Shop Fox w1686 spindle sander and my router table. More hand tools and clamps, than I care to list.

61- IWF 2008
Download High Resolution
Although for me, IWF was about representing my sponsors and meeting up with readers/viewers, nearly everyone else has one thing on their mind: tools. So we did our best to get some footage of the most talked about tools of the show. I know we missed quite a few (specifically, Jet’s new oscillating drum sander). But with our tight schedule and impending exhaustion, we did the best we could. Nothing fancy, nothing funny, just tools!
Here are the companies we visited:
Leigh, Blum Tool Co., Ex-Factory, DeWalt, Powermatic, Delta, and Laguna.

Ten Shop Tips – Powermatic Website Exclusive
In cooperation with Powermatic, we recently filmed 10 “shop tip” videos. The videos are a Powermatic website exclusive, but they are really like a bunch of short Wood Whisperer episodes. In fact, this is almost an updated shop tour, which a bunch of folks have been asking for. And as an added bonus, you get to see my best Zoolander impression! Enjoy!
