Welcome to the woodshop!

As promised, I'm going to walk you through Michael's woodshop and some of the wonderful tools that we have at our disposal for any number of projects. Before I get there, though, lets start with where this woodworking endeavor started. Michael began his hobby in a 1-car garage using foldable benches that could be easily moved if a vehicle needed to be put inside. He then upgraded with his last house to a 2-car shop that had some fixed benches and didn't require that the primary tools be moved, but that the less oft-used ones be pulled out when needed. This setup wasn't ideal, but allowed for quite a bit of productivity and it was where my woodworking skills began. So, here it is:

Desk and planning area:

Fridge, stereo, T.V., and tool cabinets:

Stain and hazardous material cabinet (given to us by my grandparents):

Most of our work is done between 2 large workbenches:

Ok, now for the hardware:

The mobile clamp rack - clamps include 1, 2, 3 foot, and some large pipe-clamps.

The planer - used to get pieces to the right thickness.

The large, wall-mounted clamp rack is used for table tops, dresser tops, and any other large glue-ups.

Table router.

Table saw.

Jointer.

12 Inch, Compound Mitre saw. There's a glimpse into where I spend my Thursdays and occasional weekend days. Hope you enjoyed the snapshot!
