Work in the shop continues

The three day week-end afforded me some time to continue working in the new shop (affectionately known as "pops" man cave). The clamp storage is temporary for moving purposes only.

Potential shop storage. 3 1/2 " x 16" shelf can hold lots of small items. My plan is to cover the opening with a pegboard door which will also be used as storage.

Dust Collection

The Saw is set up and tuned, my next focus will be dust collection, not fancy but will have to suffice until its time to acquire a new toy (bigger, badder dust collector).

More on dust collection as progress is made.

New Toy

Thanks to my mentor "sarge" we made quick work of assembly of my new toy. The fact that he is handy and has been through the assembly before helps a lot. My little buddy Molly had fun to. (She was a little upset when she had to share her stool with Sarge, but she got over it quickly.

THANKS SARGE

Remodel Continues

One of the new toys arrived for my shop make over. The shop isn't complete yet, but just couldn't bring myself to refuse shipment of the new toy. My little buddy "Molly" is even having a good time.

Shop Renovation continues

One ugly...one painted wall.....

220 Is Installed

Thanks to Zane, the 220 is in and confirmation on 5/11/09 as the ship date for the new saw.

Shop Progress

The beginning...before construction began.

Wall is built, and a six foot opening left for the door.

Oh my GOSH....what a mess, will I ever find a place for anything?

New Saw

I ordered a new saw, but circumstances with the manufacturer caused me to cancel the order however a suppliers sale on two top of the line saws has caught my eye and I am going to make a decision Monday and order another. Stay tuned as things take shape.

The new shop is coming along nicely, 220 to be installed this week and I have just about decided on the location and configuration of my dust collection system. Stay tuned and as soon as I finish painting the walls I will post pictures of the empty shop, and then update as i move equipment into the new shop.
