Hey Jeff that’s a fine looking shop very well organized and some good tools to boot.

Your outfeed/assembly table is off the hook! Looks like a torsion box in the pix. I’d love to have a table that large with that much storage space.

Thanks for the nice comments Jim and Dane.

Dane – it is a torsion box assembly table (wood whisperer style). It is 4×6’. I love it 95% of the time. The only time I despise it is when I think of how much real estate it takes up.

Yeah, I need a torsion box assembly table too. I see you found a good storage system for all of your small cut-offs. I really like how all of the wallspace is used, that’s something I need too!

That sure looks like a nice setup Jeff. I also like the outfeed table.

Jeff, this is a nice looking shop that you have. It looks like you have organized it well and you have plenty of storage in there. Having a shop with both heating and ac is certainly a bonus. Your lumber/sheet good area looks familar. I used to have one quite similar to yours. But, when I needed more room to accomodate the swing of the plywood storage cart, I changed my sheet good storage into a mobile cart rather than hinging it to the wall.

You have a nice set of tools to play with and adding the assembly table, even though it eats up real estate, was well worth the effort that you put into it.

Thanks for the pictures. It was fun to tour your shop.

Hey Jeff,
Real cool set-up and great toys to play with…well done.

Nice shop. I am a bit confused as to how / why an HOA would be a problem for dust collection? Just use a good DC with a decent filter inside the shop instead of an outside closet…

Nice shop!!! Isn’t climate control nice? I also have AC and a HotDawg furnace/heater.

Nice shop Jeff..I have begun building a torsion box workbench myself. I’ve finished the top, and I was preparing to begin construction of the cabinet. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to make the table mobile. I have 4 X 4” locking Urethane casters. It looks as if you have 6 casters? What kindof modifications did you make to the cabinet to account for the casters? I was trying to decide if I need to build a torsion box base for the cabinet to rest on, but that almost seems like overkill for the whole project.

dbhost,

I guess I just don’t want to give up the real estate inside the shop for a dust collection system. I am also concerned about the additional noise.

-- Jeff, North Carolina

benf,

I actually have 8 casters. I had six, but experienced sag (on the shorter 4 foot sides). So 1 caster on each corner and 1 caster in the middle on each side. I probaby need to do a post on that project sometime.

Jeff, I have have a 5 hp DC and yes it is very loud, I’m going to build a closet around it, just have to. Still under construction, but coming along, Steve in Oregon

-- Steve in Oregon,

Great looking shop… I wish I had that much space..

nice set up jeff. i am looking to get there one day. i see we have the same TS. was wondering how your experience has been with it. mine has served me pretty well. i have i wired 220 but i still get a fair amount of burn. i think from my blade being a little shy of square. have you had a similar prob, if so do you know how to straighten out the blade. i haven’t tinkered with it any but i really need to and was hoping you might give me a head start. thanks, nate.
