tour of my shop

We need more pictures than that, Mike! You are as neat obsessed as you are woodworking obsessed! Nice shop!

Nice shop, Mike. If you put this on your home page under workshop you can post 6 photos plus a bunch more in the description. I don’t know how to do that but David does. Very neat arrangement. I think my main wood shop is a one car garage come to think of it. it’s 16 by 24 plus a lot more around it.

Now that is a nice neat shop! Great organization.

That is absolutely amazing! What kind of dust collector do you have?

-- Making sawdust is what I do best

Mike, Great way to organize everything. certainly found that to be a key in my small 10×20 shop. Mainly working on building those cabinets to get me even more organized.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice shop, I once had a one car garage shop and it worked out just fine. Then I moved into a larger industrial shop that was 25 miles from my home. Maybe that led to a divorce? Now I have a good shop in a detatched 2 car garage and I’m kinda cluttering it up, but it’s home.

Ah! Wonderful Mike . . . always a treat to get a look into another woodworker’s shop. I like your organization.

Mike, you run a tight shop. You are right about keeping the crap under control and out of the shop. Some give me a hard time for being obsessive about my shop and work, but it makes me good at what I do. You are good at what you do, I took a look at your projects.

I like the way you have organized. Makes a small shop look a lot bigger! That is the key. Way to go.

Great organization, Mike. My shop is 1/2 of a two-car garage, so I can take some lessons.

Great shop I also have a one car garage shop. It forces you to be organized or you cant find anything or will never have room to do anything

Shame on you Mike. My shop is 10’x22’ and you have completely shamed me. Now I am going to have to get it organized and functional. I’m getting better though, I went into the shop today and did a little work – never tripped over anything :-)). Seriously though, Thank You for giving me some motivation and showing me that I can make it work with a little more organization and junk removal.

I could sure use a few lessons in organization and you look like the man to give it. Nice shop!

I like craftsman tools. My saw has been great. Most of my tools are new, thanks to my wife. I try to buy the older tools, but she buy me new ones. I collect old hand tools. I’m looking for a 60’s model rockwell shaper, and maybe another saw Delta . Never can have enough.

Nice shop. Lot of good ideas in there, Mike

Nicely organized shop. It must be a pleasure to hang out there.

Just one more question about the craftsman planer. Does it come with that dust collection part with it? Also does it just fit a 4” hose fitting, or does it fit a shop vac too. Thanks alot. Love your shop by the way, very organzed, and clean.
