The Drafting table also came with a wire straight line guide but better yet a Bruning Drafting Machine. This things is awesome. I am of an era of computers and digital drafting. When I was around 18 I moved to The Oregon and basically walked away from computers. Pencil and Paper is more my...

So the drafting table is all highly stripped maple. Mostly glued up to form the dimensions needed. It was sold by Lietz San Fransisco / Los Angeles. A true heritage treat for me in my shop. Also at the end of last year I found a fella on Instagram that challenged himself to turn a bowl a...

I got a start on my main Roubo table saw table before the end of the year but was far from the ability to finish. I was able to get the legs built up and an actual drafted design. The base for this table is set and tomorrow hopefully i can get the tops set. But his post is about the...

Just found out about the PB issue. i will change things around as soon as i can... This may just be the kick in the but to start a personal website, for less than four Benjamins' let alone.

Its Sweden night in the lab tonight. That means Husqvarna play time. Going through the machines. The big one is a 575xp and the medium one is a 445. The little one on the shelf has lost all labels and is a constant project to figure out what it is. Next door to my shop is a guy that rebuilds...

judging from the light in the top right of the picture (guessing that is sunlight through an open door) (aka an exterior wall), id guess that the other side of that slab has dropped, cantilevering what is seen in the picture. x2 on calling in someone that can lift and fill to correct the situation.

Thanks 1/2 cup. One of the next big tooling projects in progress with no pictures yet will be my main table. 4x6 Douglas fir, cut in half and glued up. They will sit on a roubo style leg system with my 9' delta table saw, jessum router lift, and end vise (yet to be figured out) inserted. Should...

Not shoptool related but i figure i would drop a project in here every now and then. I often do random glue ups of scrap wood to play with. Have lathe, will turn. Got a little thin and blew up on me. But hand me a lemon and ill drink it with tequila. The other glue up is the off cut...

I did very poorly at keeping up with my shop journal. I plan on changing that. About a month ago i redid my my dust collection to simplify it and shorten my runs. Previously i had about 60' of ducting and have dropped that down to about 45'. ***** way better. I had a cabinet from my van that i...

I think this is my first post but have been a lurker for a while. Here is my "dirty shop" work bench. made with 2x6, dried in my shop for a couple months. A machinist friend used the legs from a sheer press and had the table top so i incorporated it into my bench. This side of my shop is for...

Driving home last Friday I saw the scraps of a newly fallen tree for takesies. Sat and today I started slabing and router planning them. I have a couple cool ideas for them. This led me to an addition to my "assembly table". It may take a couple weeks to fine tune the design but I'm pretty...

Here's an over view picture of my "clean" shop. Granted I don't have a pile of parts on everything. Caught me at a good moment. Table saw bench (which is close to next on the list. Torsion box frame with a 3/4" layer of CDX and a 1/4" layer of mdf (as a replaceable layer for the track saw)...

Yes. In my work I do allot of reclaimed fir (PNW Douglas fir) glue ups for,shelfs and counter top. I had the glue and I had the fir. Found the time so I made my self a sledge hammer bench. Plenty more pics to come as I clean and organize my shop. Edit: needed something I could put a ******...

Finished my welding table/ heavy duty work bench in my "dirty" shop About 500lbs of work bench. But that's the least of my worries if I ever move.

Howdy. Been a long time lurker. Started a shop thread and figured I'd introduce. I remodel houses in Northern Oregon. Love wood, love anything I can make something out of. Love hand made things. I suppose just another Oregonian. Big trucks fast cars clean cuts and hard wood. Oh and tight lines...
