Here is my new and improved shop. I now no longer share areas of the basement with my dad. Since I got a bunch of new equipment, I decided to set up my own area in the back half of the basement. Just recently, me and my dad installed two new 110 volt/20 amp circuits for my area and put in a bunch of new outlets. Now the table saw has it’s own outlet, the planer has it’s own outlet, the dust collector has it’s own outlet, and the disc sander, bandsaw, and scroll saw have their own outlets. The new electricity supply is much more convenient because I don’t have to use extension chords anymore. Anyway, I will give you a short photo tour of my new shop.
Photo #1- The planer and dovetail jig on the new table that I built. Underneath are the finishing supplies and other items. I also use it for assembly.
Photo #2- My new Craftex disc sander that I got for my birthday. An amazing little machine.
Photo #3- Pegboard wall above my workbench
Photo # 4- Drill press, scroll saw, band saw, and some hand tools
Photo # 5- My new Craftex lathe!
Photo# 6- My new pre-separator hooked up to a 1.5 hp General international dust collector
It is very exciting setting up your own shop and I simply love mine.
So here is the list of the equipment that I have:
General International 1.5 hp dust collector
Ryobi 13 inch thickness planer
Skilsaw contractor’s table saw
Craftsman chop saw
Mastercraft drill press
Ryobi 9 inch bandsaw
Ryobi 1.5 hp router/table combo
Craftex 12 inch, 1 hp disc sander
Craftex half-blind dovetail jig
Ryobi scroll saw
Mastercraft belt sander
Mastercraft Oscillating Spindle Sander
Busy Bee cyclone separator
Craftex Lathe

This is a pretty nice looking shop that you have to work in. I like the cabinetry that has been added to it. I have changed my mind with regard to shop furniture. At one time I believed that shop furniture needed only to be functional. However, after seeing posts with functional cabinetry and jigs that also looked nice, as your cabinets do, I have come to believe that both looks and functionality can be incorporated into shop furniture.
It looks like you have room to maneuver in there as well. And that is a nice downdraft table that you have built. I have one of these on my to-do list as they help control the fugitive dust emissions that are part of the sanding process. You have a nice set of tools to work with as well.
Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed touring your shop.

All I can say is WOW. At your age I had a Swiss Army Knife, a cheap socket set, a couple of hand saws, and a hammer. All of them came from garage sales… You are off to a great start!
