BlankMan's Workshop

Looks like you have a pretty good set up. I’m a bit worried about the 40 footers, how will you handle them ?:-))

LOL Thanks. I don’t even know where I’d get a 30 footer, let alone get it down the stairs…

At least you have the capacity to cut it. What do you build down there?

Mostly stuff for my shop it seems. :-)) The bench you see, another furniture style bench for my grinders with drawers, another one for my drill press too, the outfeed table on th UniSaw which is a torsion box design for stability and swings down out of the way, the extension table that the router is on. But when I redid my bathroom I built the vanity and a in wall medicine cabinet, A floor to ceiling pantry type cabinet for my kitchen, various bookcases for different rooms some wall hanging, kitchen cabinets and raised panel doors for my sister’s kitchen (I like making raised panel doors), hanging cabinets by my washer/dryer, an in wall almost floor to ceiling cabinet in the hallway by the bathroom, etc. etc. etc. Stuff for friends, birdreeder for my backyard, basically anything I can think of. I started a white maple and walnut TV stand last winter, planning of finishing that shortly.

very cool Curt. thanks for the pics. I like how the tables are all aligned for extra capacity for longer boards

You’ve got some major quality stuff. the router table and table saw combo is great. I enjoyed looking. Thanks for posting!

I really like your table saw and router table configuration.

Very nice shop, I really like the bench, so versitile, nice work. Thanks for the post.

Nice looking shop!

Hey Blankman,
That is a nice set-up…well done.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Curt, this is a nice looking shop that you have to work in. It looks to be well organized and I like you bench set-up. It does provide you with good support for the miter saw and RAS while also adding much needed storage. You have a nice set of tools to play with as well. Like Daniel, I also enjoy seeing your table saw/router combination. That looks like a pretty nice tool station.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed the tour.

Thanks everyone. I just added a picture of my wood storage rack and had a few more to add of other things but 6 is the limit. Bummer.

You can put them in photobucket and put the links in the text. It you put hte direct link between ”!” marks, the pic wil show up instead of just the link. GrayK has a blog about doing it.

Hey Curt,
Sweet lumber rack…good job.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Hey Curt
This is a nice shop that’s well organized and nice tools too.

Thanks again.

Topa, Yeah… Thanks, good idea. I have my own web site and I link a lot of things to it but I thought if I could do it here and be done with it that be cool, I was not aware of the limitations so I’m going to have to do that too. Setting up an album will take more time, this was quicker but it turns out not adequate.

Looks real good Curt and glad to see a few of us still use an RAS! I know the sliding miters are the in thing now, but you gotta love the work table on an RAS.

Cato, yeah I wouldn’t be without it, can’t put a dado blade on a miter saw.
