A few updated pics of the shop layout. Same shop, just a little rearranging and new additions.
Inner Room main desk
lots of files, some punches and hammer rack
Right wall, chemicals, mold making supplies, packing materials and auxilary bench for mold or jewelry making (incomplete)
Outer room, sanders
everything else
Buckets of knife parts, cabinets for handle material and handheld power tools. white collapsable table soon to be replaced with a 5ft permanent bench for more tools
by the door, starting to put up peg boards and appreciate their versatility. Starting to get tied of digging on drawers whenever I want a certain tool. Or when someone asks me where something is it's easier to go dig it out myself rather than try to explain where it is.
I was working on my dust collection system when I remembered seeing this beast in one of the old outbuildings one of the previous owners used as a paint shop for autobody work. It's dilapidated and a hazard or else that is where my shop would be. I dismantled one of the walls around it, brought it up to the house, cleaned it up, rewired it and shore 'nuff it worked. A fresh coat of paint and a 4 ft hole in the wall later I had it ready for use. This thing will flat pull some air now, don't really need dust collection all that much anymore. You can watch the dust go flying towards the fan as it rolls off the sander while in use. Awesome piece of machinery. Has variable speed too.
