    Old Craftsman Lathe

    I bought this thing a few years ago for only $50. If I knew then how much work it'd take to get it useable, I'd probably pass on it.

    Poppy's jointer

    Picked this up from my grandfather a while back. Finally got it cleaned up enough to be used. I'm not using the table saw part, just the jointer. My plan is to take the table saw off and store it so I can mount a planer where it is sitting. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

    Finally building a workbench

    It won't be much, but I'm finally getting some type of bench installed in the new garage. I've cleared out about 7 feet of wall space to put it in. It will be nice to use the woodworking tools without running them on the ground and having to kneel down all the time. Having a real top to do...

    Hello from the little land of texas

    I found this site while looking for ideas for my new garage, and I decided to stay. It looks like there's quite a few like minded individuals on this board. I just hope I can impart some knowledge to repay some of what I've already learned. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
