Well I started the haggling at $750, figuring I would go to $800. But he is firm on the price...

I would say $1000 is fair for Alberta as I see them going for $1k without any additions. But it just didn't feel right so I didn't take it home. I AM however going to go back & scoop up all of his hand ...

40" sounds fine to me. And I already have a couple of Workmates!

I saw that you can get a 4" jointer for the SS as well. That would eliminate the 6" floor model I was planning on & save more space besides! Besides my mitre saw are there any stand alone machines that aren't covered by the SS? I want ...

What is the approximate height of the saw working surface? I'm starting to look at bench & mitre stand designs & want to see about height matching for increased table space

The more I think about it the more I like that slat wall idea. I've also been following a thread about the modern workbench & how it is used these days.

When I say wood pile I mean pile of firewood. I also read the thread about stretching the workspace earlier today!

Maybe I could make it a 12x15, but I am still limited as to my maximum space...

I did think about making a bit of covered porch across the front so that I could expand outdoors on ...

I'll definitely have a heater installed. I'll look at options to hardwire in, otherwise I will use an oil filled radiator style. Its a pretty small space...

I live in Alberta so AC wont be an issue! If its too hot I'll open the top door.

My initial plan had a window in front of the bench but I ...

Small Shop Design

I'm going to be building a small shop in the back yard in the future & am looking for input as to the layout.

The attached picture is pretty self explanatory. I'll be building a shedrow style building 12 ft. deep, with 2 bays or rooms 10' wide & an open "run-in" that is 8' wide, for Storing the ...
