Shaping up nicely... Are those walls about 11' tall? Did it make a lot of whooshing noise when all of that beautiful empty space became filled space? :D . My father-in-law donated some 10 foot studs, where I was just going to use 8 footers. A nice blessing, since I am not hitting the fluorescent li...

Looks good! One question - How did you fit all that stuff inside your garage? Love your choice of roofing materials. Here was the original setup. I have a home office in half the 2 car garage, which left enough space for the SS and related stuff and my bike. There's about a 4' walkway between the b...

The last phase of the build will be a shed roof on the right side, with a storage shed enclosure at the back. I want to put a closet in there to eventually house a larger air compressor and a bigger dust collector for a whole shop system. I currently have the SS vac and several smaller shop vacs (pi...

Looks good! One question - How did you fit all that stuff inside your garage? Love your choice of roofing materials. Thanks! As to storing all the stuff - I didn't. Most has been acquired since then. I bought the miter saw at the start of the build (new project = new tool) :-). Got the table saw fr...

My new shop out back. Had a Shopsmith and hand power tools in a garage shop for several years. Started on this workshop in 2013 with the re-use of some trusses and building materials from an old house a buddy and I tore down. I built the shop to the width and number of trusses, which was 19’x 32’. M...

Just bought one here in east TN for $400. Had it originally priced at $450, but he came down a little. It's on casters (home-made base) and has the dust chute.

No gauge or manual, just the machine. I'll be ordering the gauge directly. Just ordered some blades last week, didn't know about no stinkin' planer :-)

The evenness of cut across the table is a function of the jack screws being the same(table corner heights) and the cutter blades. All is adjustable! I downloaded a manual, haven't read thru it yet though. Hopefully there is something on this adjustment, or a post on the forum somewhere. Thanks for ...

Pulled the trigger and bought it. Ran some cherry and oak thru it and it seemed fine. Only thing I noticed was that it seemed to pull the board thru a little crooked, like it was grabbing one side more than the other. This was more noticeable on the wider board (about 8"), but it was rough sawn...
