You have a great shop! The tool cabinet looks terrific and I really like your setup for the Ryobi saw and Delta Shaper. Thanks for the post!

Great looking shop, Smitty. Very efficient layout of your power tools. I think you built my wall hung tool box. (I just haven’t gotten around to building it yet.) Nice post.

That box with your hand tools is fantastic! Great shop.

Wow- another cool shop. I love to see wood shops in the morning. Your hand tool storage reminds me of the H.O. Studley tool chest that was featured on a poster in Fine Woodworking. I like the 3d view of the shop. (wish I could do that). I appreciate the offer to stop by and chat, I like nothing better to talk about tools shops and wood. Thanks for the post, bob

Hi Smitty,

You have a nice shop. It looks like you have plenty of space to work in. I really love your collection of hand tools. That is one nice plane collection you have.

Thanks for the post. Huntsville is midway between home and Destin. On occasion we have stopped there for the night to break up the trip back from vacation. The next time we do I will try to take you up on your invitation.

Thanks for the shop tour. I really enjoyed it.

Man of too many handplanes!
Nice shop mate :)

Hi Smitty

Great looking shop and nice equipment to work with. You are my kind of guy. Everything has a place and everything in its place. I am in the process of putting a new 14 X 21 shop in my garage. Your shop is an inspiration to get mine done.

God Bless

Smitty, it looks liike you have a very functional workshop. I especially liike the way you set up your mortiser. In fact that whole bench line looks like you can really get things done very efficiently. I have thought about lining up my miter saw, drill press and mortiser very similar to what you have done. It just really makes sense. Look forward to seeing your work.

I want to thank everyone for the kind comments to my shop blog and if anyone is in the area, you’re more than welcome to visit.
I really new to this blog format so you’all bear with me til I get the hang of it but it’s an adventure in itself and I sure am enjoying the company.
Have a Good One,

I love it, had to print out a hard copy of the tool cabinet for inspiration, all I need now is the perspiration to one built for my hand planes.

Like others have said, great looking tool cabinet. Parts of the shop look as though they have seen a lot of work. Well set out.

Nice shop. What’s the wooden lever on the front of you cabinet saw?

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

Thanks John, if the lever your referring to is in front of the switch , it’s a safety lever extension to hit it with my knee which shuts off the saw. The yellow item at the lower right corner is a magnetic feather block.
