Hey fish n chicks,that's a nice shop you have there. Mine's crowded and I'm always bumping into things or trying not to trip over extention cords. Is the overhead furace a gas burner or electric? That's something I could use. it gets cold here in winter.

P.S. If the furnace burns gas be careful about wood dust in the air while it's on.

It's a gas furnace WC2. One of the selling points for this house when we were looking. That and the yard sold me, and the rest took care of the mrs.

A few shots of mine...still have a few things to finish up on tho.

These are several months old..the shelves in that last pic I went to the floor with them and that wall is pretty well loaded with stuff now.All the old tin came from an old milk stall at the ranch.

It's official... I have total shop envy! lol My hideaway is tucked in the basement. Really need to get it organized. You guys have the right idea!

I'm really not likin' this thread anymore!

Here is my basement shop (someday I'll have a real one!) -

KellyG · August 17, 2011, 05:46:00 PM

AKmud,
Nothing wrong with that set up, I think all of the shops are a lot better then mine.

It's all in your perspective, isn't it KellyG? Recently a friend turned a garden pumphouse/garden tool storage shed into a woodshop for me. You'd think I had the best shop ever! Everytime I walk into it I kind of exhale and relax just breathing the sawdust and other shop smells. As long as we have a dry place to make woodchips we are good to go!

here is my shop, err, my shed. LOL

Not the lap of luxury, but it works

StoneAK · August 25, 2011, 11:50:00 PM

Nothing wrong with that Bradford

I still enjoy my shop and the computer is in the next room so I can check out TG between doing things. Bue--.

WOW Buemaker! If I had a shop like that I'd never see my wife and kids.

BUE! You have a fine shop sir. I love it.
What is the machine in the center? Hitachi jointer/planer combo?

Took the words right out of my mouth... i mean keyboard.

The machine in the center is a Robland, Belgian made combination machine with cast iron tables weighing about a thousand pounds, It has jointer, planer, circular saw, a 30 mm router spindle and a mortiser that can be added to the planer arbor. It is a solid machine that has served me well for many years. Bue--.

Hah! I know you better Mike... you'd do it to get away from the rabbit humpers!

Thanks for coming by with the boys. You guys are doing a great job with them. I'll have to take some pics of the Motor City Machete shop for the gang here when I come by next week.

Please do. I made a sign on our CNC machine that says "The Boars Nest".
