My New Wood Shop

That should do the job. Looks good.

-- It’s not so much what we know that causes the trouble, it’s what we know that’s not so.

Looks like you have most everything you need there. Where’s the on/off switch on that brace?

I love it! Come do mine!

You may find that you enjoy it (woodwork) more now that it’s a hobby, and you don’t have your livelihood depending upon it.

The tool cabinet is very nice.

Very Nice! Well thought out.

My bet is a hobby is a lot more fun than a business. Good therapy.

Nice tool cabinet, Thomas. This type holds a ton of tools in a relatively small footprint. I agree that you may enjoy it more now as a hobby. You can work on projects at your leisure instead of working against deadlines.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

When I saw the first picture, I couldn’t wait to see what was behind curtain number one Monty…

How many people does it take to lift that thing?

That is a well thought out tool cabinet, and you have it very well equipped. You’re going to do well indeed. A similar analogy would be the old saying among boaters…....how they progress up thru larger and larger boats, and then step down to a canoe…..........and find that boating has never been so much fun.

I’ve had my Shopsmith in a garage shop of less than 250 sq ft for almost thirty years. I’ve never felt deprived, nor was there any project that I could not tackle. I’m sure that you will continue to do great work.

Best to ya. Keep us posted.

Thos. It looks like a great start on a new life.

Good luck in your new challenges.

Thos, glad to see you back ding a little dabbling in woodworking. Hope you can get something more in the near future and not have to store it…...........

Very neat Tom. Great set of tools.

Nice tool collection. Well done.

Lookin good T A. I knew you wouldn’t be able to keep that sawdust out of your blood.

Wow Thomas! Never Knew what was going on with you till now. Just wanted to let you know you were a great inspiration to me. My wife always tells me, things always happen for a reason. The things that did happen, always happened for the best. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife. May God watch over you and protect you. Safe journey and a blessed life to you both.

God Bless

Great design on the box. I need to do the same and each one I see gives me the chance to compile ideas for the project.
I’ll be building it with a shopsmith. I’ve no doubt that you’ll have all the tool versatility that you’ll ever need for your hobby. -SST

Nice job Tom. I’d like to have one like that on my wall. Thanks for sharing.

Way to Go!

I wish my wood shop had that kind of setup, then maybe I could find things…

Thanks for the inspiration.

Thos. That is a great looking tool cabinet. I knew from the first picture that there was plenty more to see and certainly not disappointed. Way to build a portable shop, just so happens I am currently reading Jim Tolpins Toolbox book. Yours should be included in his next version. I am sure with these tools and the Shopsmith you’ll be humming a long on projects whenever you get a chance.
Look forward to seeing those projects.

Thanks, everybody. We are taking a load of horses and shop equipment, etc. over tomorrow and Sunday. Hope to get the rest in one load.

-- Thos. Angle

that’s a great tool cabinet, good job

-- People who say it cannot be done should not interup those who are doing it

Thos. that sure is a beautiful set up. Got her branded and everything. I noticed you don’t have a lock on it. That can only mean one thing to me, you’re in a friendly, and safe place. That’s the way it is here, I can run to the hardware or the post office or even to Lansing and don’t have to lock the house or shop. Of course I have a 90 lb Black Lab in the house to greet a stranger, should someone want to check out my goods. Nice job on the tool box. Sure do have a nice selection of planes, but also about anything else to build about anything. You’ll probably be making more utile things than dandy creation’s huh? Well whatever you make you can still post it. Take care and happy trails. m

I just got back from Wyoming. It took four of us to move this danged thing. I will have to make it into two cabinets. I don’t think anyone will run off with it until I get that done. I doubt I’ll get any of it out until next winter.Too much work to get done in too little time.

Nice tool cabinet.

Lovely tool cabinet! Nice and organised looking!
