Finally getting past the starting point! Time and money….seems I've neither. LOL! Did make a commitment to myself that I would have my shop tools up and running by spring. It's actually happening. I'm making some headway! First step was purchasing a Harbor Frieght Lathe which has been...

Chisel Rack! For all the version with pictures, please click here. I guess I got a bug to get more organized as the projects I'm working on get more complicated, storing all the tools in the rolling tool chest o' many drawers is getting awkward. Plus it seems like all the cool kids have a...

Lets get started Well… It just wouldn't be me if I didn't share pics of my first "workshop". Many of you have already seen it… But here it is again. Yep. that's where I got my start. Working outside on a stack of pallets and some plastic tables. Of course, when it was too hot outside I...

Shop Air Nearing the finish up upgrading workshop with a compressed air system. Got a Husky 33 Gallon air compressor with (2) 50 ft. hoses last year thinking that would do while I figured out plumbing the shop. The past few months I've been installing hose reels and using the Rapidair garage...

The Woodmaster 718 - A Story About Craigslist I made a short film documenting how I found and purchased a Woodmaster 718, UFO DC-101 dust collector, and overhead air filtration for $500. Craigslist can be a really wonderful tool for building your workshop on a budget. You just have to be...

A trip to Harbor Freight, vacuum pump, legalities, and shop cleanup. Just posted a video about a trip to Harbor Freight, some HF shopping tips, legalities, AC Repair, and shop cleanup among other things… Just as an FYI, I mention my "GoPro", I should have said SJ4000, I am too cheap to buy a...

Tool Cabinet Concept My first attempt at using Sketch up program for designing a piece. I am a bit slow on my first day but I think it will be a handy skill to add to my woodworking. This is still a rough draft. I have to confirm that my tools will fit. The cabinet must fit between two ceiling...

In the begining In the beginning chaos reigned. Yep, that about sums up my "shop". Or to quote my wife: "What a mess"! Easily 50% of my time is spent searching for a tool or hardware I know I have and dancing around everything trying not to knock over wood piles or tools. I had a decent...

French Cleat Hooks - Repurpose Project We've had this old coat/key rack hanging in our garage collecting dust and whatever else didn't have a spot. It's basically falling apart. I also needed a dedicated spot to hang my shop apron. So, while deciding what to do, I noticed the old coat rack and...

Renovating the shop I am remodeling the old workshop to turn it into an assembly and finish building. I have a new 12×24 building that will be turned into the main shop. Here is a look at the transition and some discussion on whats to come. I started by removing everything from the shop, then...

French Cleat Screw Storage / Screw Caddy As to be expected, do enough woodworking and you will need various sizes of screws for all the different projects you work on. Then you end up with extra boxes of screws. I had all of mine just stacked together in a small bin. The bin was overflowing and...

Reorganization of the shop: Not what I had planned on doing On my way to finishing the guitar I decided I needed to do a cleaning of the shop to minimize the dust to put the finish coats on the instrument. Along the way I ended up doing a four day reorganization. Oh, I did clean it too. This...

2022 Shop Tour I think it is about time I show you around my woodshop! I converted my 2-car garage into the workshop where I build all of my pieces. 440 sq ft may not seem like much space, but what you can fit with careful planning and organization is impressive. Of course, that's not to say...

Hey guys, what do I have to do with this MDF to accept white spray paint. I put two coats on and it doesn't even look like I did anything to it. I used a white primer in a spray can. I tried a small scrap piece and it took 2 coats of primer and three coats of semi-gloss white paint to complete...

I made a box for a trophy which shall travel (looks like golf's Claret Jug!), and I would like to protect the trophy with some sort of custom foam packing. The only idea that I've had is to wrap the trophy in plastic wrap (temporarily), then get some expanding foam, place the trophy in the box...
