Very nice shop S. Brian! Where do you put the sawdust?

Here is my half of a 2 car garage, my truck had to go outside to make room for the woodworking tools, my wife however wont give up her side permanently, but i do use it as a finishing area when i am building furniture.

Got the SS with the bandsaw, and jointer, but just got the jointer so it inst pictured, rigid ocelating belt/spindle sander, craftsman radial arm saw, jet lathe w/bed extension, built all the bench's, the dust collection works for all tools including the rigid sander and the SS, i have a hose that i run over to the wall for them, the SS dust collector works very well for all my needs, and i built a separator for it, the DC was the last thing i got set up, i recently moved my shop around just so i could set up a good DC system, it wasn't in place when i build a garden bench for my mother-in-law, that is why dust is everywhere, the workbench and lathe were in opposite places, but by moving them i was able to set up the grinder and drill press in a fixed station, and had to move them to set up the dust collection, as well as add the blank storage and board storage on the walls, i traded my dad my old compound miter saw for his radial arm saw, and don't regret it for a second.

You really should not take advantage of your elders that way.

Nice setup!

Get your wife a "Smart Car" and it would free up almost half of that other bay.

Actually it was his idea to trade cause he needed the room, and when i got it it was in rough(er) shape, after i got it i discovered a recall on its safety gear that got me a new table, and blade guard for free, so i did it.

My wife drives a honda fit, its a pretty small car, and i have taken as much room as i can and still allow for the doors to open enough to get into the car, granted you do have to exhale to do it
She also does pottery so her kiln takes up a bit of room on her side

Thanks Charlese. I bought my Penn State 1HP dust collector last fall, but for now I use it only for my table saw. When SS has a sale again, I will buy the band saw cover upgrade and also want to get a collection hood for my miter saw.

Wildcard mentioned something that may be of use to other forum members and that has to do with Emerson having recalled Craftsman radial arm saws that it produced for many years. If you go here -- http://www.radialarmsawrecall.com/ -- you can read about the recall and which models are covered.

Under the recall, Emerson will give you a new table and saw blade guard assembly by giving them the serial and model numbers. Some of the saws are too old for upgrading, so Emerson will give you $100 (or something like that) for returning the motor assembly. I upgraded my saw a number of years back and all the parts are shipped to you for free in a large box. If you own a Craftsman radial arm saw, it's well worth taking advantage of this recall program.

Heres a pic of my shop in the Azores

That is a beautiful shop with lots of natural light. What kind of wood did you use to finish the interior.

Send us some more pictures.

Now that is one of those shops that looks so friendly and warm that it makes you want to give it a hug...
