Sheet Goods Rack

Freshly stocked with plywood and african mahogany boards ready for projects. A 200 psi 17 gal compressor is in the background along with a wall mounted back.

Left Back Corner

The left corner has the planer - a Ridgid 4330, A Delta US made bandsaw - yes US made. Towards the back is rolling clamp rack (home made) and it contains a lot of clamps. To the right is a 1.5 hp dust collector. Against the wall are shelves for screws, router bits and power hand tools.

Assembly Table

A simple assembly table has three sections. Two sections are MDF. The middle section removes to allow through cuts on sheet goods and lumber. The third section a double stack of baltic birch with the edges outfitted with Kreg Klamp tracks for lining up face frames for pocket screw installation.

Workbench

This bench is very well worn but it has done it somewhat gracefully. The whole bench weighs about 300 pounds with plenty of storage. Construction is hard maple.

The Centerpiece of the Shop

The table saw has a home made splitter. Still waiting for the ones made by Shark Guard. The fence has attached to it a sacrificial wood fence attached via a couple of special clamps from Rockler. It can't really be seen well but the router table forms the right hand extension. The miter gage is an Incra V27. I also use an Incra sled but the V27 is the handier of the two.

Shop's Right Back Corner

On the wall are a few shelves built for table saw supplies (has a variety of zero clearance inserts, spare saw blades, dado blade stack, and a variety of push blocks). There is a box just for sandpaper. The drill press station has an upgraded drill press table with its own fence. Next to it is the mortising jig. The mini lathe is in the corner next to the lumber rack. The jointer is in the foreground.

Inside the Tool Cabinet

There is room for more tools, a lot more tools. I just don't have that many hand tools. The jack plane is in the top shelf. The cubbies contain my most used stuff. A Bailey smoothing plane, Bailey block plane and a Lie Nielsen rabbet block plane, a couple of rosewood marking gages. The squares are on the left inside door. I still have a set of engineers squares left to hang. On the right outside door is a set of Marples and a set of Two Cherries western style chisels. On the left outside door is a small set of Sorby turning chisels. The bottom shelves are supposed to have a set of six dovetail drawers but those are still under construction.

New Hand Tool Cabinet

I just finished this tool cabinet (well almost) for my hand tools. It is patterned after the article in Fine Woodworking. This photo shows the tool storage in the back of the cabinet between the french cleats. The other side contains two more carpenter's squares plus a hook for my leather apron. The joinery for the main case uses box joints with full length piano hinges for the doors.
