My workshop is pretty small but fairly well stocked. I’m retired and live on a fixed income so I buy a lot of my tools second hand to save money and still be able to buy better quality stuff. With the exception of my table saw, the majority of my power equipment is bench top size to save both money and space. The 2 luxuries I have allowed myself are my table saw of course and a mortising machine. I make a lot of mortise and tenon joints and I have never been satisfied with the look of the mortises I make with a drill press and chisel. Although my shop is small I have been able to turn out a few pretty decent pieces.

Well maybe. Let me dig out a camera and see what I can do.

Robert, let me also welcome you to LJs. It is good to have you as a member of the group. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your shop when you get a chance to post them.

Welcome to Lumberjocks, Robert. It sounds like you have a workable setup.
