We recently cleared out a bunch of space in our warehouse at work, and my boss was cool enough to let me move my shop in. :icon_cheers:icon_cheers:icon_cheers:icon_cheers:icon_cheers:eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc
So last night one of my buddies stopped by for a few beers and he [strike]got suckered into helping[/strike] was nice enough to help me load up all of my tools into the truck so I could bring them here this morning. :rotflm: I didn't want to do any of this on company time, so I woke up early and was at work shortly after 6:30am with no help to unload the BS or the lathe. :swoon: It was definitely challenging, but I got it done. I didn't want my stuff to be to intrusive, so I laid it out as such. Probably not the way I would do it if it were at my house, but you have to respect the coworkers. :thumbs_up
Here it is...
The BS, redneck dust collector, miter saw station. The miter saw station and all mobile bases were built with scrap wood from jobs. Total cost to me $0.00 :eusa_danc
The lathe and the tool holder that I built today.
A better of view of the "dust deflector" mounted on top of the tool holder. It was slippery piece of some wood that came on a pallet a few months ago.
Drill press
RT, Grinder, storage shelf
Homemade sharpening jig. Total cost to me: about $2.00 for the hardware.
Planer, Restored Jointer, Radical :wink_smil Arm Saw that still needs to be restored, mobile base for the TS awaiting hardware.
Miter saw station
My first project was the tool holder for the lathe and it took about an hour. I can't tell you how thankful I am to have this kind of space after what I've had to deal with over the last year or two. :swoon: There was no switching the extension chord from tool to tool, tripping over things, dragging tools out into the freezing cold (or smoldering heat). Everything just flowed perfectly. And the best thing is, it is still a work in progress. It will only get better.
Thanks for looking,
Trent
