degoose's Workshop

Larry, your shop sounds interesting. But I can’t see to be able to see the pictures. I am not sure what is going on as I have not seen this before.

This is much better!!! You have a really nice shop in which to work. It looks like you have plenty of room (you need it with all the tools that you have in there) and some nice headroom as well. You have a nice collection of power tools to play with as well. It certainly looks like you have a lot going on in there. Those are some nice cutting boards and bandsaw boxes that you have in progress. And those are some gorgeous slabs that you have beside your bench. I can envision some nice projects in them. I would enjoy working in a shop like yours.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed visiting with you.

Hey larry its nice to come across a fellow Queenslander. Youve got a nice little setup by the look of things. I have to ask, where abouts do you source your timber? Anyway all the best

-- mwm! Before you criticise walk a mile in their shoes, and when you do criticise you will be a mile away and have their shoes!

Fellow Queenslander, i have many and various sources for timber.
Tasmanian blackwood is imported directly from Tasmania lol
NG Rosewood and Purple heart I get from Morningside in Brissie
Silky oak from Woodford
Maple from a little mill in the Diamond valley just north of here via mooloolah
others stuff from here and there
let me know what exactly you want and I will give you a headsup

im just curious because it seems that the best place (that i can find) has been lazarusus(?) timbers, there just at Banyo (im right in the cbd) but they seem very pricey.
Thanks!

Yeah Gareth Lazaridies is a it on the dear side.. I will put together a few places for you to try. Failing that shoot out to see me in Caboolture and I will sell you a small bit of what you need.

Nice looking shop. It must get hot and cold in there.

Can you work in it year around?

-- It's better to have people think you're stupid rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I live in Queensland beautiful one day perfect the next.
Yes I can work year round and at night too!
Hot ..Yes but not like Death Valley
Cold.. Yes but not like Your bitter north with snow and blizzards.
Sometimes about 3 times a year I wear a sweater/cardigan/jumper…[not sure what you would call a woollen over garment.] so nearly all of the time in shorts and t-shirt. And when its hot I cool down internally with a XXXX [ thats Queenslander for BEER cos we cant spell]
Thank you for comments…yes it is a good shop…still evolving and alot better than what I started with..6’ by 6’ tin garden shed.>>15’ by 14’>>24’ by 27’ and now 20’ by 40’ with 20’ by 20’ wood storage.

Great looking shop. I gotta love a guy who lists a beer fridge amongst the tool contents of his shop.

-- Chris

The amount of inspiriation coming out of the fridge is incredible.. the more I drink the more inspired I become!!

Hi Larry
New to the group, like the pics of the workshop do I detect an Incra 1000 mitre gauge in the forground?. I`m toying with getting one of those for my segmented turning, any good?? (also looking at a Kreg!)
Regards
Steve

Whoops sorry should have read the tool listing, notice its an Incra 2000!

Larry:

A very nice shop. I have the same Incra Table Fence the TSIII it was called when I bought it. I then upgraded it to the LS slider.

I’m guessing that I have about 30 Tons of lumber. I’m guessing about 12-15,000 BD ft.

You can see my wood rack in my workshop. My shop is a 25 X 55’ building with two floors over the office and bathroom. Upstairs is my veneer room with my vacuum press. I also have my small metal, and wood lathe up there. I just stacked about 300 bd ft of lumber in front of the lathes so I can dry the wood a little. It’s stickered with a fan blowing on it.

I do like your shop where you get alot done…but I’m drooling over the wood collection…sweet. Thanks for posting pictures of your shop.

Love that clamp rack.

A fridge in the shop is a cardinal rule.

And well-stocked!
