Actually it is a 33' X 44' pole garage atached to my home. I sectioned one 10' X 16' off for a work shop but soon ran out of space, so now I have taken up the whole thing. Much to my wife's chagrin. We will soon be working something out. Of this I am sure. For now I have even over flowed this much space do to poor house keeping and too much equipment. Some of you older guys remember pictures of my old shop. Well it hasn't improved with space, I'm still a vertical stacker. Once in a while I'll get the bench cleaned off for a day or two, but it just doesn't last for some reason, when I get busy I can't stop to put stuff away. Yet once in a great while I manage to make something nice, how is beyond me. Alright, lets see if we can make sense of this. You old timers have seen pics of my little shop, thats still pretty much the same w/o the big hunk of wood on the lathe. The first pic is of my Wilton 12" planer. Works good had it about 2 years no complaints, next pic show my ladder, in the rafters the kids have been putting plywood and insulation up top to help me stay warm in winter, I have a little box heater. Behind the ladder is a big garbage pail full of off cuts, behind that is my 6 in. jointer, beside that is my Hitachi 10 in. table saw. Works ok, nothing to write home about. Third pic has my old table saw, cstv,a chair I'm redoing, the bottom of my 17 ft. explorer, suspended from the rafters, and the edge of my chop saw. 4th pic is my Rigid 12 in. chop saw. Good saw well worth the 350.00$ I paid for it a HD. Next to that is some of the standing lumber I've slowly been trying to get milled since I got it last summer. Mostly oak, walnut and maple. Again that dang Hitachi, I've got everything on wheels so it easy to move stuff around. All of these shots are taken from the front of my garage looking to the back and sides. The last 2 are looking towards my other inner shop and you can tell they are old. They still have my daughters chest in them. No not that chest. Keep your minds out of the gutter. We;re talking about my baby. So You guys still want to have the messiest shop contest? My router table, workbench, lathe and new craftsman 12 in bandsaw are in my little shop. By the way that Sears saw I got for 289.00$ and its got a 7 in. resaw capacity. Works good too. Excuse me, that last pic is of my 360 Polaris Quad, I should say it's the wifes. mike
