TZH's Workshop

I just can’t believe my eyes. You are using an old raised panel door as a log resaw sled base?

This is really a nice looking shop. And with 864 sq ft in it that is enough room to move between the tool stations and not get in each others way. I have to agree with David that your log resaw sled is unique. But it looks like an interesting set-up.

You have a nice shop space in which to work. Thanks for posting pictures of it.

Thanks. The resaw jig does, in fact, use a raised panel door as the sled – we went “green” and recycled from what we have available. Even though this sled works pretty well with logs up to 6 feet in length, I need to make some changes to it as the roller tables cause the logs to bind every once in awhile, and that causes the bandsaw to slow to a crawl at times (which it really shouldn’t do). I’ve attached the roller tables to the saw table with clamps to try to make it more rigid, but it still has to work too hard. The other option from my perspective, is to use my router planer to achieve flat sides for my mantels and larger furniture bases. If you visit my website, there are some pictures and a short explanation there. The router planer is a lot slower and more labor intensive, but the results are very good if it is set up right.

I’d love to see detail on that. I built a similar jig from recycled Hurricane Ike debris, but I can only handle up to 36” long material, and even that is plenty ackward to work with…

dbhost – what are you referring to when you say you’d love to see detail on that? Do you mean the router planer jig I mentioned, or more detail on the resaw sled? I’d be happy to describe either in more detail. Just let me know.

Hey TZH,
Really cool shop with some great toy’s to play with…....good job.

Nice shop, I am envious of the space you have although one can never have enough shop space. The shop that I am currently working in was an old airplane hangar (this shop isn’t my own but I wish it was lol) When I first walked in I thought now this is what is called enough but after working here for about a month I find with all that we do we could use a little addition, however I really doubt that is going to happen haha. Thanks for posting.
