Kinda like when your friends get divorced.
Over the past few days I've been able to move my jointer and planer from the garage to the shop (the engine hoist comes in handy). And moved two of my toolboxes from the shed to the shop. One more major toolbox to move, but it's pretty well buried in the shed. It will have to wait until I can figure out how to make room to get to it without pulling too much stuff out and having to put it all back.

‘Bout time to test run the dust collector
The DC has been hooked up to the table saw and in use for a couple of weeks already. It works ! (and quiet). Still figuring out how I want to hook up all the other machines. All this 6" PVC stuff is REALLY expensive right now.‘Bout time to test run the dust collector

Crazy the price difference if you call them pipe fittings VS calling the dust collection fittings.The DC has been hooked up to the table saw and in use for a couple of weeks already. It works ! (and quiet). Still figuring out how I want to hook up all the other machines. All this 6" PVC stuff is REALLY expensive right now.
Might as well be calling them marine fittings

This is where I bought my 6" S&D fittings years ago. Prices are a little higher than I paid, but not bad.
Thanks Steven. I have most of what I'll need. Been shopping and buying best deals I could find for a while now. Menard's has been pretty good lately.

Decided on a place for my 12" disc sander. The base was bent, making the machine wobble. Ordered some adjustable swivel feet on Amazon. Found a 3" to 4" coupling that fit both perfectly. All ready for connecting to DC.
Also, a couple of pics of table saw connection. Other branch will be for downdraft table.

Looking good. I hope you’re just dry fitting everything because I want all my DC piping to be the same color in my shop.
Making great progress

Sanibel Causeway
Thought this was ironic being a home inspector.
House turned houseboat
Not a lot of missing shingles. (Ivan way worse) but I believe 2’ flooding will be the major damage.

Finally got all my toolboxes moved from the shed to the new shop and put in place. Now the hard part : organizing everything. I worked out of a Chevy cube van for 22 years. Had almost everything I would need to do my thing on a jobsite in that truck. Also had almost everything in my shop. Now I have to consolidate in one place. Finding things I forgot I had. Always forgetting where I put my tape measure. Now finding ALL of them.

Tool fool ain’t fooling around with the tools. Looks like I need to stop by and build an index for you and I.

Shorty, a random grouping of Homer buckets does not an index make.

Unpacking more boxes and filling up drawers. Routers, lots of router bits (some from shop, some were in the truck), laminate trimmers, and my trusty old 1/2 sheet sander. Hoping to start painting the walls in the garage soon.
Was planning to meet Shorty at a car show today, but lost track of time, again.

Beautiful day to be in shop. I didn’t make the car show either. Was still down in the country.

Good thing you didn't meet up with Shorty, I somehow think he could turn your "trusty 1/2 sheet sander" into a 1/4 sheet sander.
Finished building a DC hood for my miter station, then got the ducting for it hooked up.
(Banged my head enough times under there.)
I'm limited to the depth I could make this hood, so I'll see how effective it is. I hung my air scrubber right above the miter saw, added coverage.

I need one of those for sure! But then I don’t have the rest of ductwork for it.

Great job on the DC hood and plumbing.

I was struggling with the idea of giving up 4'x8' of floor space for a lumber and plywood rack like I've had before, and the 8' of space to pull sheet goods out. So I went vertical. I have some wall-mounted lumber racking and now that I'm not in the business anymore I probably won't be accumulating as much stuff.
In the process of cleaning, repainting and assembling some of the steel shelving units that have been stored in the shed for over 3 years.

John, make sure you take detailed photos of all that plywood for your insurance company. At current prices, that's a valuable stash and I've heard you have a lot of unexpected visitors!

And Short ones?
We just did a revamp of the shop space at work.
Very similar arrangement. So much easier to see, and pull sheets out.
