1. Table saw 2. Drill press 3. Band saw 4. Planer 5. Jointer Because I'm curious and it seems like many of you are jacks of many trades, are there GarageJournals for woodworking out there? I would enjoy browsing them IN ADDITION to GJ. Looking for more places to lurk. Feel free to reply or PM...

It doesn't appear those who viewed the thread went and checked the video. Maybe there wasn't much interest in the who thing. Understand. Things are starting/moving slow over on this end of forum. But here's another shameless plug of our video. << Whole sentence is the link. We will have more...

Video of our first day in the space. Just cleaning up a bit and making sure the chickens cannot get into the space. I imagine this thread will be buried again before I post another update because I'm going on vacation out of the country for a couple weeks and following that I have too much going...

Looks great! Glad it's coming along

What was the verdict on your insulation? I'm going to echo what a few others seemed to have said, don't compress it. Buying an R-30 roll doesn't give you R-30 unless it takes up the required space...the whole reason insulation works is because of 1) the material density and 2) the thickness of...

Suggestions on good places to find scrap/reusable/recycled material (steel and wood specifically) in the Indy area? :dunno:

Following this post.... trying to do something similar for a chop saw as well as a a miter saw.

Alright. You guys made that easy. Metal top it is. I'm shooting for 4' x 4' top. I'm going to look around the area for scrap steel places but I know WarnerSteel (his name on here I believe) is in the area and his prices seem very reasonable.

I haven't picked one up YET. Been eye balling the lowly Hobart Handler 125, but maybe the Handler 140. As stated before, I don't do much large work at all as this is a hobby. My day time job doesn't involve any tools but a keyboard and mouse... :( I will try to poke around and see what I can...

This is great information to have. This will be a small time shop space that is mainly used for smaller stuff. I was originally looking at 1/4" but it seemed to thin...but 1/2" is a bit pricey. Anyone else rockin' some 3/8" material top?

Good point. Also good point.

Let me toss out an idea then... What about a concrete top? Durable, hard, and in terms of heat, it's a mass that can absorb a lot of it. And it can be made (relatively) level. No warping. Thoughts?

BUMP! Got hooked on this thread... Great welds and helpful tips.

I've been looking into building a welding table and I notice they all have nice, thick metal tops. Can anyone explain the reason for thick tops beyond being used as a ground and something stiff to handle the many odds and ends it will see. Also - What about a pretty stout wood top with a 1/4"...

All good points. I will have to chat with her about this. I guess I've assumed that as teenage girls they won't care and my sister lives close with her own family and doubt she has interest in it. I could be wrong so it wouldn't hurt to check on these things. If my buddy and I decide to part...

BTG, glad to see another CAP grad here! WarnerSteel, we're corresponded about steel quotes previously. The project is beginning this Spring>>> http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=189813

Barn Fit out for woodshop. Hello. Quick background. Went to architecture school, after 4 years realized I love making things. Next two years culminated in a built final project rather than a printed poster. Graduated. Got real job and gave up student life plus access to awesome wood shop. A...

Hello all. Been lurking for some time. Have a shop space in the works (will be posting about it). I see there are several Hoosiers already on here. I'm in the Indy area.

Welcome. I also just joined. Indy here.

I think this is working
