abadr's Workshop

Abadr, how about posting some pictures of your shop when you get the opportunity?

I missed the question on where to start. I would agree with Rasta about getting a table saw if you want to get into woodworking. There are some techniques where a table saw would not be needed but, in general, a table saw is the central tool of most wood shops.

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

PICTURES, WE WANT PICTURES-lol
I would start with a table saw

I’ll post pictures in about a month when I finish the garage expansion (the 3rd car part) where I’ll be moving all the tools and storage. The original 2 car are will be dedicated to the cars I’m working on… Can’t wait till I’m done with the paint and floor… :)

yes, I pretty much figured that out the necessity of a table saw from this forum and other websites. I’ll go shopping for that soon.

WELCOME!! Start with a table saw. 3 hp if possible. A riving knife really makes them more safe.

Photos please

Hey Abadr,
Post some pictures when time permits or sooner.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Can’t wait for some pictures and I will echo everyone else, start with a good table saw, don’t get cheep on this one or else I guarantee you will regret it and end up buying a better model down the road.
