Shopsmith Forums

My biggest problem is that I have a bunch of stuff in my workshop that really doesn’t need to be there. Job one is to get that stuff moved somewhere else, or get rid of it.

Both good observations.
That second one is my constant curse...
That and my shops are combinations of shops. My farm shop isn't just a tractor and implement shop, it's kind of "all things mechanical" sort of thing. It's auto, trucks, tractors, a small engine shop... Sections are a tire and battery shop, welding and blacksmithing, machine shop and tool groupings for electrical work, general construction work including concrete and masonry work, plumbing etc. etc.
My wood shop also has a section for upholstery and leather working (heavy on sewing equipment). I also keep 6 of my chainsaws and my roofing nail gun and framing nail gun in the wood shop, parked with my finish nailer, brad nailers and long staple nailer just because it is a much better environment to store them.
Lumber is every where in small batches...
The time has come to start thinning "stuff" out...

Pretty impressive. Now if he had a Shopsmith, he could get rid of the little table saw and the benchtop drill press, disk sander and lathe and have even more room - just sayin' ...

So many good ideas in one video.

It's made possible by outstanding organization. I think the guy must have made his living as a lean-manufacturing consultant ... or maybe he's just an unusually-talented natural neat-freak.

It's also an exceptionally well-done video. Check it out:

Zero carbon jointer.... Fantastic

His video got me thinking about my temporary makeshift shop. A 8’x48’ van body trailer.

If you like that one, you might also like this video. This guy makes skateboards and turned a 20 ft shipping container into a woodworking shop. Having a narrow, but long shop can present some unique challenges so hopefully you might find some inspiration as well from this setup:

That’s a good video also. Thanks RFGuy

Someone need to ask Santa for a Label Maker.

Do you know who Henry O. Studley was?
