building a wood work station

Post by drbailey »

Changing some of my home garage from strictly body shop hobby to a wood shop area. I can trash a garage as fast as anyone.
yesterday I started building a work bench, I dont plan on doing much more then whats done now,for now. I hope to build drawers and doors later , "after I get some experience"
after retirement a few months ago, I got into a little wood projects for fun. the last 6 days things seemed to explode, a man was selling all his body shop tools, wanted me to com look. Well , I bought a SS, a router sign making set up (sears) and a routor table for pic. frames. Paper work galore!
so here I am wanting to do good with a new hobby.
The main reason for all this is that my Grand daughter is gettin married, a Barn,western wedding. she has me making rugged wood things, like a horse drawn waggon, and now, signs.ImageImageImageImageImage

Very nice Wagon,D.R.! It's obvious you aren't a new comer to shop work. Best wishes to your continuing success with woodworking using your new found Shopsmith.

If you wish, you'll find this Forum full of info about using the Shopsmith.

P.S. Your shop makes me pine for the old days! In envy!
