Title: Picture of my shop
Post by: northie66 on July 06, 2010, 08:41:20 pm
Boxmaker asked for this.  Here 'tis.  Here's some info worth mentioning:

1.  Scroll saw and sander I got from grizzly.  I thought I'd like the belt on the sander but I like the disk better.
2.  Table was old kitchen table.  Installed power strip to it.  Ran an extension cord under rug for table with sander, dremel and drill.
3.  Light above saw is old and heavy.  Got it real cheap from goodwill.  Got the 2 shelf bookshelf there also which is also metal.
4.  Can't see real well but I have the dremel drill press.  Don't like it.  If you want it, make me an offer.
5.  Big storage cabinet a neighbor was putting out for the trash and I scarfed that up.  Metal desk my bro gave me for free.
6.  Black & Decker handy thing I bought new... but I don't use it except as a table.  Maybe one day.
7.  Blower is waiting for a saw dust mess to get rid of.
8.  Blue tarp in the back is to make the space smaller.  In the winter I put another tarp up between metal desk and trash cans.
9.  Last thing I cut is laying on the table but you can't see it.  It's Steve's pattern of the deer on the plaque.  I haven't put it together and glued yet... I'm trying to remember what is in front... the ears or the rack.  ha!
10.  Hillbilly golf I made with my kids a few years back.  We had a blast making that... especially drilling the golf balls.  I need to put it away though... it doesn't belong there ;)

Nothing wrong with that.  It looks like a good place to make saw dust.  No matter how much space you have, it's never enough. I have a set of what you call Hillbilly golf I keet in my travel trailer and we love it.  Nice thing is almost anyone can play, young or old.

Happy Scrolling

Wait a minute.  Is your trash can empty?  How is that possible?  I swear when I put a new bag in mine, stuff jumps into it and starts filling it up even as I am carrying the previous bag out to the curb.   ;)

Right off the bat I notice one big difference between your shop & mine.  I can see there is a floor on your shop.  I'm not sure if mine has a floor. ::)

Thank You Janet for posting the pic. Nice and Neat shop. I see now how the tarp works for the winter. I'll try to get a picture of mine and post it.

Looks good to me.  I have part of mine in the basement and part in the garage.  Only way I can do some work in the winters of Minnesota is to keep some in the basement.

Thanks for the pic of your shop!

Looks like Janet and I have the same "dust removal system'! Leaf Blower!!!
I don't see a table saw. Janet do you have to buy all your wood in small sizes?

"Prgamatic Engineering"! If it works I must have done it right! Also know as Creativity and Ingenuity!

Good Work, Janet!
