mostly cost. Built this out of what I had on hand for no additional investment a Paulk style bench would have required spending money. I can drop a router table into the space occupied by the miter saw as it is removable. Here are a few recent projects that have come out of the shop

hopefully it is working now

Funny how things work out. Roughly this time last year I had the building delivered and started to plan building a new home with my business partner. Things did not work out with my now former partner and we are still working out of the 12x24 building. I did recently finish building a rolling...

A project I completed a few months ago roughly 3x10 farm table with reclaimed timbers.

So round one of the plot is posted before didn't pan out. Seller didn't want to move on his price and the quote to clear the land was more then we wanted to spend for the size of the lot. So we kept looking and today finalized and offer for a total of 1.8 acres over 3 lots for not much more...

I though my new shop at 12x24 was small very interested to see how you outfit it. I love small space builds

Solid oak table sanded flat with a Festool Rotex 6 inch sander and matching vac. Also the glue up uses Festool domino mortise and tenons the end of the table we wanted to hide the end grain but do it a little differently and we use a whole pile of block clamps

Drives The festool system is just that a full system all of their vacs work with their tools though the larger vacs work better with their miter saw. Even their boxes are designed to work and lock to each other in the same foot print. If you do a lot of sanding or the tools are earning your...

kids got skills I wish I had

I will add my little piece of 101 knowledge. Keep your saw blades and bits clean. Products like CMT blade cleaner and the like are worth their weight in gold. A quick soak and light brush off will extend the life of your blades and give you much cleaner cuts. Avoid household cleaners as may...
