Currently using a detached 2 car garage that was built in the 50’s. It needed a lot of work. The floor was replaced since the old concrete had completely broken apart (no rebar). I’ve since added a subpanel, wired the lights and outlets, insulated the garage door, added attic vents, added a door and built cabinets. Hopefully someday I’ll find time to build a shed so I can get the lawn/garden equipment out of the shop :)

Nice woodshop! Looks like you have plenty of space. My lawn equipment is also in my woodshop and I also need to one day build a shed…(sigh).

Nice shop, nice equipment… I really like your rolling bases on your tools, I do wonder about the jointer though. Is that knob on the top of it ever a problem using the bench or table saw?

Yeah the knob is annoying when cutting large sheet goods, but since the jointer is on a mobile base it’s pretty easy to move it out of the way. I currently share one DC hose between the planer and the jointer so it’s wheeled out of the way and closer to the DC when I am using it anyways.

Nice shop, and some nice tools too, thanks for the post.

Jon, you have a nice looking shop in which to work. I like the way you have organized your table saw and jointer around outfeed table which doubles as a bench. You have added some nice cabinetry to your shop as well. It is clean, well organized and you have a nice set of tools to play with.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed touring your shop.
