Todd Very nice shop.

A great shop and nice tools. I like the cabinet saw, planer, and sander.

Todd, I like the layout of your shop and your outfeed table for your saw. Nice..

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

Thanks for the kudos guys. The infeed table and the assembly table are on wheels. Mobility is key in a small shop. The outfeed table table is stationary, I got a little fancy with tapered legs and arches for the stretchers. The tops are 2 layers of 3/4” plyood and are covered with laminate. The laminate is far more durable than melamine and the bright surface helps “lighten up” the shop. The assembly table is on wheels but takes some effort to move it. I don’t do a lot of hand tool work, so this has been very appropriate for my style of labor. There are casters under the middle of the assembly table for extra support because of it’s size. If you are budgeting for tables like I built, the 2 big ones are about $550 (includes vise) and the smaller infeed cost about $350.

Todd,

Please mess up your shop a little bit at least. You make guys like me look bad with all the clutter I have. At least spread some saw dust on the floor.

:)

Nice shop.

I wish, I wish, I wish….......ran to the garage…....nope, still no change. great shop.

But you gotta get some tounge and groove on those walls. Tell this missus that it’ll inspire you.

Great shop! I’m envious. Some day though… I agree about the daily clean up. Walking into a cluttered shop is sorta like coming home to a kitchen full of dirty dishes.

I like your tables very much. They have sparked a few thoughts for my own space (albeit much smaller).

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

You have a very nice shop! Great equipment and all wonderfully set up. You must be a very happy woodworker.

What a great shop and the items your producing are just fantastic.

Very nice… envious of the space. I have every one of my machines going on a mobile base so I can roll them into the middle of my 24×24 space to use them. I guess if I did this for a living I would have something to complain about. Love the way you have organized the space though. I am anxious to see the rest of the pictures.

Todd… would it be worth it to you to drive down here for some 4×7 fixed pane windows? just the glass sandwich but they are brand new and I have 2 of them.

-- Drew, Pleasant Grove, Utah

I was looking around for some other shops that were “close-by”....ha….we’re out in the middle of nowhere it seems….but I like the space in your shop…I’m finally getting electric for my 220 equipment this week…the electrician shows up Friday!!! yay. We seem to have similar taste in bandsaws! I don’t get out much, so it’s not likely for me to be dropping by Billings anytime soon since I’m JUST DOWN THE ROAD in Rapid City…you have a really nice shop.

-- /\/\/\ BarryW /\/\/\ Stay so busy you don't have time to die.

So who is the guy standing so proud in the middle of your shop? LOL!

Really nice shop Todd. Mine has to remain mobile and compact because it serves double duty as a garage, but I really would enjoy being able to “spread out” as you have done here.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

What would I know, I’m only a dog. But it looks like a good place to take a nap…

Actually, we have not seen you for a while. How are things going?
