Hello, this is my shop. It is 20×40 with an 8ft ceiling. I have been woodworking for almost 18 years and enjoy building just about anything. I am pretty well set up but still have a few thing on the wish list, such as a wide drum sander and a better belt/disc sander. I am getting ready to build “the wood wisperers” assembly table to replace my old one and also hope to come up with a better miter saw stand design. I also like to do welding/ metal fabrication and auto repair. That’s why the front of the shop is open. My lumber is stored in a barn behind the shop along with my mobile miter saw and mobile tablesaw. Not shown in the pics are my dust collector and air compressor which are in a closet behind the shop. If any one has any suggestion let me know. I am always looking for ways to improve it.

Stan, Great shop and I join others in drooling. I live in Seneca. Are you a member of the Greenville or Piedmont clubs?

Steve, I am not a member of either. I am familiar with the greenville club but not the piedmont. Do they have a web site?

Hello Stanley,
Nice layout. I had a question about your dust collection system. I see you have a perimeter setup…but I didn’t see where your collector was…do you have a cyclone or do you have a bag dust collector system? Aren’t the 90’s killing you for power in you collection lines? Thanks, Todd

Todd, I have a 4’x8’ closet attached to the back left corner of the shop(small green door) that has the dust collector in it. It is a Grizzly 2hp G1028/1029 that I added oversized Onieda bags to. The 90’s or the long runs have not affected the suction. My 12 1/2’’ planer is at the end of the line(approx.45’) and it works great. I get a small amount of chips that blow out during use but, it is very minimal. I have never understood why most magazine always show these size of dust collector as only good for portable use. I have great service out of this type of collector and would not hesitate to replace the exsisting system with something similar.

Hi Stan,
You have a very nice shop with plenty of space to work in and a nice set of tools to play with. I really like the finished ceiling as it helps to brighten up the working space. I see a definite influence from the NYW in some of your tool cabinetry. :)
Thanks for the shop tour. I really enjoyed it.

What a nice way to conclude a little shop surfing. I really like checking out other shops, and yours is right up there with the best. Today is May 21, 2008 and by next week the second publication of BH&G Wood magazine’s America’s Best Home Workshops will be out and I think your shop could be in it. Thanks for the tour. Oh yes, I’m a firm believer that you can’t have enough clamps.
