Boj’s Garage Shop

Shop Tour - Submitted by Boj from Barneveld, Holland
Added on June 29, 2013

Hi, I’m Boj and I am 16 and this is my shop. I have included photos of my Snap-on kra2212a toolbox (I call it my Roles-Royce), my router with a new router bit purchased to build the Guild Shaker Table and some of my planes and chisels.

One photo is of my workbench with my shaker table in progress. And lastly is my new router table and my new metabo bandsaw. Its not a very big workshop with very good tools (some are) like Marc’s beautiful workshop, but for now it works.

*UPDATE*
Here is an update from my shop. There’s been a lot of change in a year. First there’s new electrical wiring and 12 outlets. I bought a Festool kapex as well as some other Festool stuff. I have a new planer/jointer, a hammer a3-31, and a Felder af14 dust extractor. I made a big cabinet for my kapex, with drawers for all my hand tools, finishes, sandpaper and screws (I still need to make the last drawers). I recently bought a Wadkin Bursgreen tablesaw from the 70’s with a new motor. I hope I can make a new workbench this autumn with a Lie-Nielsen chain vice and a Benchcrafted tail vise.

Hey Boj, wordt dit even een Nederlands onderonsje op TWW site.
Goed bezig man, leuk om is een Nederlandse woodworker tegen te komen op deze site. Ik wens je veel succesvolle projecten toe en natuurlijk nog veel gereedschap maar ja das nogal prijzig.
Groeten uit IJsselstein.

Sorry for the dutch language but how often is there a dutch woodworker on this site.
Way to go Boj!

      Hoi,
      nog een hollander hier! Ik was laatst bij baptist in de winkel. Alle schaven staan in een mooie vitrine, beschermd tegen grijpgrage handen. Ik zag vooral stalen schaven en slechts enkele houten exemplaren. Ik schat iets van 2, maar niet bewust geteld.
      Mooie werkplaats Boj!
      Groet, Gerard uit Loosdrecht.

      Duca tools lijkt me wel wat om de collectie aan te vullen.
      thx

  Hello van Suid Afrika,
  Jou werksplek lyk mooi.
  Dit lyk amper soos myne, alhoewel joune baie meer prakties is.
  Wat se hout gebruik jy die meeste in Nederland?

Nice setup you got there Boj. Don’t worry about having a bunch of tools. They will come. I think I have no less than five things to add to my collection. For some reason that list never gets down to one.

Nice little shop, Boj. It’s too clean, so you need to go have some fun making stuff and making a mess. That’s what woodshops are made for!

How is the light in that shop Boj? Looks like a few more fittings could boost the use and safety. I am evnvious of your bandsaw. I just have a picture of one, lol.

  Yes i have to make some fittings its a bit dangerous now but it works…
  Don’t spent your money on that bandsaw the quality isn’t good

    Im probably gonna be only one of many to tell you this, however, get more lights! I don’t know your local retailers, but, in most cases you can get Flourecent lights for less than $20 a pop, and in some cases one will light an entire 10×10 area… When you use “dangerous” in describing your shop, thats a bad sign.

    What’s wrong with it?
    I have a thickness planer of metabo and i’m very happy about it.
    I have some intrest in the bandsaw.

  The last summer vacation my school moved to another bigger building
  They bought lots of new tools and they gave me that workbench
  Also they gave me a lot of clamps , planes and other tools!!!!
  One problem is that my bench isn’t flatt

    Hi Boj,
    you can with a bit of patience get your workbench flat using your router. Here is the setup to do it, it is in French but I think pictures are self explanatory : http://www.hmdiffusion.com/rftp/sat/html/2790.html

Hi BoJ.
Nice shop, but just as the rest of the people are saying, there is no light in your shop.
Adds some more light and be safe.
Well equips shop with light is as safe as it gets.
Thanks for your photos.
Bye.

  There’s a lot of light but they are turned of on that picture
  It makes it a pretty good workspace and next week i’m going to by metal ductwork for the dust collection instead af the 2 meter hose

Hi Boj,

Goeie werkplaats man! @Wim: fine-tools.com heeft een ruime collectie houten schaven.

Sorry guys, here’s a translation: nice workshop! Fine-tools.com has a large collection of wooden planes.
