This looks really neat and well organized. I think I could actually find things in your shop.

There is room for one more shelf under the Power Station.

I have shelves installed like you have on the Accessory Stand. I have Rubbermaid boxes full of stuff on most of them.

that is a nice set up.

I think I'm being dense today: if you don't mind my asking, what is the unit stored on the left end of the storage station?

I think you are referring to the Shopsmith 4" Jointer which also has an auxillary fence attached to it.

The item setting to the left of the storage station is a Power Station with the Band Saw mounted on it.

thanks, Dusty.

I did recognize the band saw on a power station (it wasn't quite that bad a week).

it was the jointer that I couldn't figure out from that angle with the auxiliary fence attached. now that you tell me, that lever doesn't look so much like a tilt table lock<g> and I can see that the red bit is the featherboard/cutter guard.

tanks for making my night better.

Very cool. I like that you have the cross cut table down there. I think I'm going to try that.

For a shelving project, I've been planing and gluing up boards that are 3/4" x 14" x 98". Using a ball bearing stand to support the far end, The crosscut sled enables me to trim off the ends perfectly square. The crosscut sled is probably my most often used Shopsmith accessory.

I end up using the sled a lot too. A lot more than I thought actually.
