Its small it’s full and its mine. Its 4×8 meters that means 12×24 for those of you with metric hebie gibies!
I own a Bosch table saw, a really old craftsman router (in use with table) a hand held router. A Hitachi 3&1/4 HP router with some up cut spiral bits for mortises and such and others as well. the basic array of hand planes 2 #6 jack planes (one I converted for use as a scrub plane) a smother (record) and a block plane (record) and a spoke shave. Chisels that don’t hold an edge so well, a drill press corded and cordless drills and drivers. Assorted tools grinders ect! biscuit joiner, Lots and lots of jigs!
I purchased a Universal machine. A Valex from Italy It’s used but it was in great shape. It is a four function machine: Jointer/Planer, Table saw with a fixed arbour and small sliding table, and a Slot mortiser.
I also bought a Band saw 14” model and a Sanding station to boot. With a 9” disc sander and a Belt sander.
I ordered after market guides for the band saw and made my own resaw fence.
I just want to note for the record that Israel is the only country in the region that has no markings on it!
Is it coincidence? I find this kind of disturbing!!! After 60 years I think Israel deserves some recognition!
Thank you
Chaim Gottesman

Hi Chaim,
I will ditto Gary’s comment about pictures. I find visual shop tours to be one of the interesting aspects of this community.

Thanks,
I’m doing my best to empty it out and get new material once and a while!
If I do it means I made some sales! and I’ve been making sales thats why I have little time to post!
