a1Jim's Workshop

Wow Jim, I’m speechless. It’s a little like Disney World for WW’ers.
You are aware that router bits are interchangeable aren’t you? :)
A dream shop for sure, but even so, in the midst of all that plenty it’s nice to see an “homage” to the basics in the form of the “garbage bag dust shroud”. We’ve all been there for sure.
My first word will be my last too. Very impressive. Wow…..

Very nice shop!

Jim, this is a really nice shop space that you have to work in. You have a wonderful collection of hand tools and your shop is well organized. I like the headroom that you have in there. You don’t have to fight with a full sheet of plywood to get it moved around in there. I also like the way you have used the vertical storage space available to you in your shop. I would enjoy working in there.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed visiting with you.

admitting that you have a router problem is the first step! That must be the largest private collection of routers in the world. ;-)Love the 14 ft ceilings. Great space.

I really need to stop looking at everyones shops and tools, I keep drooling on my computer and my wife thinks it will short out. Plus I have a bad habit of not cleaning my drool off the keys and screen and she hates working on wet keys (kind of like not putting the toilet seat down)

Great looking shop !!!

Great shop, Jim. Love the overhead space you have. If I try hanging jigs overhead in my shop, they usually get raked off the ceiling the first time I move a large piece of lumber around. I was able to cut my router fix early, so I didn’t have to do all of the 12 steps, but sometimes I think I’m not cured. :] Thanks for the post.

Hey Tim
Thanks , I tried planning me shop out really well but there are always things you would change if you had a do over. every time I complain about not having enough room my wife says are you crazy a lot of people would kill for a shop like yours. This brings me back to being grateful for what I have. I really love your side board you made definitely a notch above what I call quality plus . Great Job

Thanks, Jim. I’ve got the same situation. My shop is 24’ x 24’, but for the past 3 years 1/4 of it has been partitioned off for other uses. I’m just starting to reclaim that space, and for awhile, I’ll be in hog heaven with all of the extra room. As soon as I get an assembly table or some stationary tools in their, it’ll start shrinking again. Enjoyed looking at your posted projects. You’ve got quite a variety of styles that you do very nicely. I guess my favorite is the Roycroft secretary, since I’m an A & C fan.

Jim – I thought I would nose around in your shop and all I can say is Wow. I have tool & shop envy! By the way your projects are also really nice.
