Thos. Angle's Workshop

Tom;

Great shop. Well organized, and laid out!

It’s no wonder you enjoy your time there. For me my shop is my castle. (my wife can keep the house) LOL

I can’t stand a messy workspace, it really unnerves me, to the point it distracts me from my work / play.

I have to stop what I’m doing and clean up, (somebody else’s mess). makes me so mad.

Keep up the good work!

Lee, I just had the neighbor kids cleaning for half a day. We did some serious deep cleaning so I could reorganize and get things better. I hate the mess but seem to live in it for a while.
Wayne, I will run the plane racks as a project soon.

-- Thos. Angle

Great shop. I have been working on mine for about 6 months. When you are done do you want to come this way and have a go at mine? Just kidding!

Nice shop. The best part is your’re away from all the city rukus and looks like you have some elbow room. I’m confined to a two car garage and only get part of that. I’m from mountain home originally but live here in southern nevada for work. Sure wish I was back in those wide open spaces. You really do have it good. Thanks for sharing

Looks good! I like the notes all over the bandsaw. Have you installed anti-fatigue mats over the tile to prevent slipping? I’m sure falling on a tile floor would hurt, smartly. I like your storage under the bench.

Tom: great shop. do you do more of less wood and leather?

Thanks for sharing.

Great shop!

I envy you with all those planes.

I like the slots in the bottom portion of the desk for the hand power tools.

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Karson, I don’t know. It goes back and forth. Probably about the time I’m sick of wood I work on leather until I’m sick of it and on and on. Business is not jumping in either place right now but there is some work ahead. I really don’t care which I do as long as it pays the bills. Thanks for the compliments.

Zuki,
They almost all came from E-Bay and went through rehab. They are users not collectors and they really get used. The power tool stall barn came about because I was tired of fighting all those cords.

Tom, should I join Wayne and you on “the slippery slope” of handplane restoration ( I am eyeing some #3 and 41/2’s), I would like to make up a storage unit like you have made. Do you have any tips on construction?

I just made it outof scraps. I think I’ll get the photos and do a project out of it.

-- Thos. Angle

Thanks for the plane till post Tom.

Douglas, absolutely. Please join us…

Thanks Todd, and all

Your shop really looks great! I have always wanted a overarm router but don’t have that much need for it riight now. Your shop size is what I have in mind for my shop. I think thnk that with the number of peices of equipment that I hope to have I will really need about 1500 to 2000 sq. ft.

-- Eddie -

What a nice shop! I like how you have set it up. You have really used your space well. I like your mix of new and older tools, too. It always adds character to a shop when some of the old machines are still singing. Don’t you love that DeWalt 13” planer? I have the same one and it is an amazing machine. Thanks for the grand tour.

Hey Tom;

I was just looking at your shop photos again.

Did you ever find out who put all the graffiti on your bandsaw? LOL

Great work space.

Lee, it came equipt.

Hi Tom

Great looking shop my friend! Your a man after my own heart. A place for everything and everything in its place. You got this old man chomping at the bit. If it ever gets warm enough I want to paint the shop first, then get the 220 service in and wire the shop. I am thinking about putting a wood floor over the concrete floor. What is your thoughts on this?

We have had the Ebay business for seven years now and we plan on helping each other once the shop is up and running. Does Charleen help you any in the shops or is she the foreman?

Thanks for the inspiration.

God Bless

Nice shop. Looks like a place to spend some quality time in. I think that Carleen should buy you a note pad.

Hi Thomas,

I don’t know how I have missed this post before now but I am glad it came up on my list. You have a nice shop. It is well organized and I admire the way you clean it up. I have a difficult time doing this until I get yelled at and them I am givn enough incentive to do it. :) You have a nice blend of power and hand tools.

Nice shop. Thanks for the tour. I really appreciate it.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Nice workspace Tom, room for both hobbys. I’m still trying to get all the things I want done in mine to, its been almost three years now. Not enough hours in the day.

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

Sweet shop, looks like a good layout. It’s taking time but mine is growing. Your kitchens are extremely impressive also.

Nice woodshop, nothing to complain about there, no doubt! And having grown up on a Colorado Ranch, I can certainly appreciate the joy of a well made saddle, too! Having both in full swing must tingle the senses!

-- Adventure? Heh! Excitement? Heh! A Woodworker craves not these things!

Thomas, thats a nice woodshop.
