Location: Minneapolis, MN currently deployed, Tikrit, Iraq
Website:
I'm a 34 year old first time father this year. I've been doing some wood working now for about four years and have been slowly acquiring tools for my shop, when my wifes not looking of course. Right now I'm deployed with the Army in Iraq (deployment number two). During this deployment, My wife and I decided to put our house on the market in hopes of buying a larger home in a attempt to accomomodate our growing family and my expanding shop. Presently while our house is being shown for sale, my shop which incompassed 2/3rd's of our two car garage is now being stored in a 10x16 storage unit, along with other mis. household items. Is it wrong to feel bad for your tools while they're in storage and miss them when you're 7000 miles away from them?
Craftsman cabniet saw (shop made mobile base)
Delta mortiserDelta bench top Drill Press
Delta 6'' jointer
Delta 13'' planer
Porter Cable 3HP router (in shop made table)
Bosch 2 1/4 router (fix base/plunge) kit
Bosch Colt (just bought it, haven't used it yet)
Bosch PS20 driver (everone should have one)
Porter Cable Miter saw (in a 12' shop made bench w/cabinet)
Black and Decker benchtop band saw (piece of junk)
Shop made Table/Bench/out feed
8''Grizzly jointer on order now. (going into storage till I get home)
My next purchase should have been my first, a Bandsaw. I'm looking at getting the Grizzly G0555X.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless
