My shop- The Cave
I have a SawStop and made folding out feed tables for the router and saw . This summer I made two work benches Maple- Walnut with Maple Birdseye drawer fronts .
I like having two benchs because I can butt them up to each other to make one long bench 11ft or back to back to make an approx 5.5by 4.5 ft square or an L shape or T shape. They also act as out feed tables for my tablesaw when cutting longer than 5 ft .
Tools = Dewalt 735 13” planer. Jet = jointer -Bandsaw saw -dust collecter – belt&disk sander- spindle sander.
PerfomaX 16-32 drum sander. PowerMatic 2800 drill press- PowerMatic 3520b Lathe .
Rikon – Mini lathe. Makita 10” slidiing compound mitersaw.
Plus Lots of hand tools =Hand planes – chisels Etc.
I also built a 13’X10’ shop in my backyard for all my finishing – veneering & Lapidary = working with stone
If you’d like to see More of my bench-s Etc. I’ll have pictures in the photo section.
I’ll be glad to answer any questions you might have & thanks for Checking me out!

Why, why, WHY do you people make these furniture-grade workbenches?! Anything that beautiful I’d be scared to death to knick it! I’d stick that thing in the middle of my living room and just admire it. :)
I use my garage as a shop too, except I have to get the cars back in in the evening. Next house gets a garage just for the shop!
Ok, and I want your saw, too!

Rj,
You have a very well organized shop and I absolutely love the table saw set up. You have a nice design on the outfeed table as well as a wonderful saw. Of course I also enjoyed seeing the benches. These are too beautiful for shop cabinetry. But you do have a nice shop in which to play. I would enjoy working in there.
Thanks for the shop tour. I enjoyed visiting with you.

Your spacious, clean & beautiful shop with beautiful bench is really inspiring me. I would be sorry to let it unvisited for even an hour in a day. Take good care of your SawStop…
Finally, very nice shop.

It’s a shame you couldn’t get some better tools or prettier workbenches ;-).
On my list of project I’ve just finished adding the outfeed table and a nice workbench.
I’m also about to go add another blog entry:
Envy.
Good work, RJ. Look forward to seeing other projects coming from you.
