Screwge, you have a really nice shop space in which to work. It is clean, neat and well organized. I really like the modifications that you have made to your table saw. Adding an outfeed table like this improves the functionality of the saw. It is wonderful to have this much ceiling height but I am sure it does present a challenge with regards to heating and lighting to have this much headroom. However it sure makes swinging a sheet of plywood around in there a much easier job. Bummer about having to put the vehicles in there. I tried that for years in my shop and finally gave up and let my truck sit outside. I just got tired of setting things up and then moving them around to make room for my truck. Besides it gave me more room to add tools!! But I would enjoy working in your shop.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed touring your shop.

Jeeeez! Your shop is astoundingly clean. I havent seen my shop that clean since the new years eve party I threw at open house in 91. What do you do with all the neat little scraps that every woodworker ends up with? Well I did burn a lot of them this winter. You have a very nice and pleasent working space.

You have a really nice & organized shop. I was wondering what kind of TS that is ?

Looks great. I really like your miter saw stand and all the storage around the shop. You can never have too much storage. Looks like you’ve got plenty of room to go up and take advantage of those high ceilings, too.

I’m sure we’ll see some great projects get churned out of your shop.

Nice tidy workshop Scewge and I really like the table saw…...cool.
Checked out the tool site and the price is better than some other machines being offered.
It looks to be a solid built machine that will serve you well.

Nice looking shop. I like the storage over the door with drop stairs, excellent idea. The best is always the fridge!
