Nelson, how about posting some pictures of your shop when you get the chance?

Howdy Nelson.

It looks like we are almost neighbors. I also live in North Canton, it is a great town.

Hey Nelson,
We wont laugh…just post some pic’s.

Ok, I’ve posted some pictures after getting a chance to cleanup a little bit.

Nelson, I see a lot of potential in your shop space. Getting the table saw was a good idea since, for a lot of us, it is the go-to tool of choice. You are in the stage that I tend to enjoy the most about shop design and construction- hanging drywall, painting and adding cabinetry and shop furniture.

I am looking forward to seeing future updates.

30×10 ft is actually a pretty good size/shape. Lots of tools on the sides and keep a place at one end for a workbench or assemble table. Don’t make the mistake of building benches along the walls. They take up room and you’ll spend 90% of your time at the assembly/workbench table. Put your powertools on wheeled cabinets or stands, that you’ll have fun making, and you can configure your shop anyway you want. It also lets you reorganize when you realize which power tools get less use. You can wheel those in a bunch at one end.

Nelson, any space for woodworking is a good space. As you acquire more tools, consider a small
1 or 2 horse dust collector, I’ve seen them and craigslist recently for as low as 100 dolllars. They
really help keep things clean and dust and chips out of the air.
