I call it a workshop not a wood shop, I am always out there doing something, fixing, building, and thinking. My wife called it an unorganized mess, whatever! maybe so but its my mess, as long as there is a place for my coffee and my old rocking chair I’m happy. every morning when I take the dog out to do her thing, I open the door and just smile, its my place.

I finally figured out why my old Powermatic 66 table saw wouldn’t start. I have been working on this problem for a week now, I really feel bad for all of the names I called it. along with the guy I bought it from. The breaker for my 220 was only on one leg of the shop power! you would think for an aircraft mechanic I would have caught that pretty quick huh. It doesn’t matter, It works!!!!! I love the sound of the big cabinet saws when they power up, kinda like an old jt8 engine, Can’t wait to cut some wood. Now I have to get it all tuned up and put together. My shop is a mess so I don’t know where to put it. I have a really nice jet contractor saw that I have used for a few years I really hate to part with it especially since having two table saws would be great! but a router and a lift would also be nice to have, the way the tool budget is one has to make sacrifices. for now I’ll use what I have.
