Quote from: Spuds – Can't get out this fall (yet, maybe, wishing)  ... so shop time is my stress relief   :smiley:
Wow, that's impressive. You have everything a woodworker needs, including a big room. I'm jealous.  :smiley:
I  also have this passion, but it's only a passion since I don't have such a big place and all the tools you have.  I see some nice joints on the table you are building. My results are pretty disappointing,  as you know a circular saw is not as precise as a table saw, a hand planner is limited if compared to a thickness planner, and so on...
sorry for my bad english

Thanks  :smiley:

Been collecting / changing / trading tools for many years, I'd say 1/2+ of what you see were purchased used, some were free.  There are some great deals out there, just have to be patient, and be willing to fix things.  I've fixed many broken / worn out tools, but that to me is part of the hobby, its amazing what people would simply scrap when all it needs is new bearings/bushings and a little time.

That table is a prototype, as I figure out a several  details and make some templates for reuse.  Its just pine wood, but its all mortise and tenon joinery with dowel pins to pull it tight.   The final one will be out of maple, and the prototype will be donated.

Yea, the woodstove was basically useless, It mostly just sucks what warm air is in the garage and sends it out through the roof, drawing cold air in under the garage doors.  But if I took it out I've have to fix the hole in the roof, so I've been putting it off until I have to reroof the garage (which was at that point about 10 years ago, but I can't seem to find the round tuit..)  It seemed a good place for the propane heater though.. :wink:

I know the perfect place for it... can I specify the stain?  :cheesy:

Beautiful !

Here leaf's are still coming down with every breeze, looks like that area is a couple of weeks ahead of me.  It was a spectacular fall this year.

I just put the cover on the pool for the season, have to wait until March to reopen.  :cry:

I solved this, I found a good offer for a new DeWalt DW7485-qs and I couldn' resist. Next step is to build a stable table saw.  :wink:
