Scott Bryan's Workshop

Looks pretty good to me. I could work in there!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Ha! What a wonderful woodrack! Glad to see someone else has taken up the idea! I see you’ve drilled for the pipes too. There’s still more storage between those wall studs too!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Great looking shop. I knew Dadoo would be here to comment about the woodrack!

-- Check out my new website! http://www.blakeweberwoodworking.com

Hi Scott,

I think we all tend look on others shops with interest, nice jointer plane I see in your shop.
— That is on my list !

-- My Fear is when i die, my wife will sell my tools for what I TOLD her they cost

Hey, Scott. Just finished checking out your pics of your shop. If I had more picks of my shop you might see how similar our shop and tools are…just different colors. I just finished building a rolling cart for my planer similar to yours. One of these days I’ll get some pics up here. Keep up the craft, man!

Pretty nice set of tools for a “newbie”.

Nice shop. I would suggest you get an intercom so your wife will not have to yell.

-- Ron in Osseo, Minnesota

That looks like a great space. I wish mine were so organized.

I guess after 31 years she is use to your making dust as well! Nice set up.

-- Sell it here> http://woodworkerslist.com

Looks like you have a nice shop set up. Nice set of tools for someone whos just getting started.

-- Davesfunwoodworking

I like it, Ilkie it. Is that a riser block on that Powermatic band saw. I guess you do some resawing. I have the same long bed Powermatic planer. Pricey but if you don’t start flat and square nothing else matters. Yeah after 31 years you probably don’ t even need ear plugs. LOL.

-- DocK, WV

Very nice shop Scott.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for viewing my so called “workshop”.
You have very nice workshop, well-organised machines and lumber.
I like powermatic machine tools. They are beautiful machines. Unfortunately, I cannot find PM retailer in Asia.
All the best, and work safe.

Scott, Your shop looks like mine – lived in! I realy like the cabinets and built in work bench.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Scott
Nice shop , the powermatic gear looks great.

Nice shop. Everything looks like high quality and very functional. Thanks for sharing!

-- Rich, Seattle, WA

Scott,

Something I should of looked at moons ago! Nice shop! The plygoods storage rack what is it swinging out on?

I just purchased the same space heater that you have on your bench, how do you like it? I live in Canada were I am not sure it will be enough for those cold winter nights but for now it is fine.

Hi Scott,
Nice shop well laid out neat and clean, I still have to get there.

Hey Scott thanks for the comment on my shop. When it comes to the table saw I would go with the Saw Stop. It is a very well built saw, not mention the sasftey feature. They make them in 2 different types of contractor and the cabinet one as weel. the cabinet can be had 3-hp, 5-hp, or 7-hp. I work for woodcraft and have sold several. Now only if I could afford one.

I love the way you store your wood stock. looks easy to access. I’ll need to try that. What size hinges did you use.

-- Rodd, Texas grandpa

nice shop also wish i had that wood rack and bandsaw well some day. thank for the nice words on my shop your shop is great .

-- happy wife great life!!!!!!

Once upon a time I was stationed at Fort Knox. I envy your access to hardwoods. Thanks for posting pictures of your shop. It does look pretty tight. You have some very nice toys packed in there. You are well organized to still share space with other things. Ms. Debbie has nothing on you, I think you must have inspected the shop of every lumberjock. I share your fascination – admiration for woodshops. Thanks for contributing to the lumberjocks community and encouraging shop pictures.

-- A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

I appreciate your comments on my shop. Shops are never finished are they?
I love your PM tools and the stacks of hardwood.
take care, be safe.

Nice tools and you have a great amount of fine wood. as for the space pray for great weather and what the heck is a garden tool doing in the shop! LOL
thank for the pictures
God Bless

Scott, nice equipment set up. Looks like you have the capability to do some serious work. It is fun to visit other people’s shops on LJ to see where they are at.
Like you I am in the garage and dust is an issue. I only have a shop vac, and broom and of course aiming the table saw out the garage door on nice days!!

Now that is a table saw. I’m starting to feel little inadequate. Maybe one day.

Nice Shop!

-- Steve ~ Measure once, cut twice... or is it the other way around?

Beautiful shop, Scott…. You have some great equipment… You’ve organized this shop well… I’ve certainly learned from your layout…

Thanks for posting …

Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate them all.

Nice shop update Scott.

-- CJIII Future cabinetmaker

Man theres a lot of gold in the shop! Love the Sawstop, almost looks like a top fuel dragster ready to burn though some wood.

-- //FC - Round Rock, TX - "Experience is what you get just after you need it"

Now thats a well equipt shop… I really love the nice benches too.

Thanks for the post about my shop. You’re right the dog is a killer. Licked two children to death just the other day, lol. I have to say your shop is very nice as well. Wanna trade saws ;-) Speaking of which what do you think of the sawstop? When I’ve been able to look at them up close they seem to be a very high quality saw. I’ve been thinking when I decide to update my saw would like to get a sawstop, I just like knowing there is some added safety built in. Just wanted to get an idea of its performance from someone who has actually used for something besides trying to cut a hotdog, lol.

That is a great looking shop!

Great looking Shop Scott, I have to ask, How do you keep it so clean looking ?

-- Mike, Bruce Mississippi = Jack of many trades master of none

Griff, my wife is always ready to help me clean up in the shop. As I have said many times she is borderline OCD with respect to keeping things neat and orderly. When she “helps” clean up the shop all loose hand tools just get stuffed into drawers and cabinets. Then I have to hunt to find them again. And she loves to stack my mobile tools three deep along one wall. Of course, I always have to move several to get to the one I need. And she is always ready to supply another incentive if I don’t get the sawdust off the floor- she yells at me for “tracking sawdust into the house”. :)

Wow…nice shop Scott….I could go in there and never come out !!

-- Don S.E. OK

Thanks for the comment, Don. Believe me at times it is better if I do go in there and not come out. At least not until my wife, who is a stereotypical redhead, cools down.

You are partial to powermatic !! I love the 12” jointer i have ! , I can straighten wood all day !! Great shop!

-- Rsoper rreposs@optonline.net

Richard, I would enjoy having one as well. I had my 6” jointer only a relatively short time before I wished I gone with a larger one. I am sure I would be satisfied with the 12 inch model.

Scott that is a great looging collection of tools. I’m sorry i didn’t see it sooner.

Scott,

What is your view on the PM1200 Air Cleaner? I notice it’s just a view dBs higher than the JDS even at a higher CFMs. I’m more concern about the noice level than the cleaning since all air filterations a basically the same…...blower, filter, and filter bag. I’m even wondering if one is necessary if a person has a 3hp cyclone. Any comments will be helpful.

Hi Scott, nice shop I can see very nice tools,
Your saw stop looks really great, do you recommend it? is this saw good as your powermatic tools?
Regards

-- Oscar

Oscar, I sent you a message. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Hi Scott nice saw stop, I wish I had one, all top of the line very nice. Kentucky, is gotta be a good place to
find good wood deals to I bet. bob

-- Bob Kenosha Wi.

Scott,

I was reading your review on you air cleaner and took a look at your shop. It is nicely equipped! You are correct, it is an expensive hobby.

-- If you are not living on the edge you are taking up to much room.

Hi Scott
Nice shop you got there, I just picked up the same jointer on craigs list a couple of weeks ago i love it is my 1st PM tool and it will not be my last very well made. thanks for the post on my shop. I like checking out what others have do with thier shops, the only problem is there are so many member on LJ it may take some time!

-- Dave, I wood if I could but I can't so I woodknot

Great layout! Really nice collection of tools… I really like that SawStop. That saw is on my “If I ever win the lotto” list…

I am going to HAVE to steal your idea of putting up that much peg board though… That looks like it makes organizing wall storage a cinch…

-- Trying to follow the example of the master.

well you took a tour of my shop so i figured id check out yours as well, first off very nice saw stop, i recently had a chance to use one and I was impressed with the safety features as well as preformance. I have to ask you this, what are your views on powermatic? As youve seen from my shop all of my stationary tools a re delta but I find since Black & Decker bought them their customer service has been lacking so ive been looking for a new supplier on any new tools i get, any feedback would be great.

thanks,
chris

-- A hammer dangling from a wall will bang and sound like work when the wind blows the right way.

Chris, as you can see from my shop I am a big fan of Powermatic tools. They have all performed well for me and are enjoyable to use. They do command a premium price but that is because of their quality and they come tricked out with additions that are options with other tool manufacturers.

Scott,very nice shop. Love the tools.I bet the day ends to fast in that shop.
Thanks for the welcome.
Charlie

-- Only time will tell if it was time well spent

Scott, great looking shop. Looking at your pictures I noticed you have the same delta 13” planer I do. Have you ever had trouble with the feed rollers on that machine?

-- Walt

Nice clean shop but where does the sawdust go. I’ve only been on here about a week and every shop i look at the floor is clean. What do you do with the I cant throw this away because I might use it someday stuff?

-- Ray Cody, Florence Alabama

Scott,
Thanks for the kind words regarding my workshop. Yours too is very well organized and I can tell you are a man of superior quality when it comes to your tools. Living in the same town as WMH Tools (Powermatic, Wilton, & Jet) I can appreciate the attention to the upper end of the power tool market (I just can always afford them.lol). It is evident you have put some well thought out time planning the location of your equipment as well as your stock storage. I love the amount of workbench area you have. Very nice, Scott.
