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 assembled and waiting for almost a year?
?? Wow.
Second step was finding a 10 inch grizzly 3 hp 1023 and getting it home.
Third step was finishing up some of the outside construction projects that were 85% completed while we had experience very mild weather in the beginning of winter.
Third step was posting and selling my 20 year old 10 inch belt driven craftsman table saw.
Fourth step was putting an extender that I've had for 8 years in a box on my 14 inch grizzly band saw.
Fifth step was assembling my 7 inch Harbor Frieght Rabbiting Jointer after 10 years in the box. It's now discontinued
? LOL! I had purchased some mobile bases from Northern Tools that were on sale a few years ago and just realized the rails are too short to put on the jointer! Don't sell these anymore…..LOL! Need rails, so I looked at Delta's mobile bases and I'm borrowing the idea of hardwood rails, but that requires a table saw? Damn I sold my craftsman.
Stopped the jointer assembly and moved on to the table saw. Another LJ has been bloging about his new 1023rl grizzly and I took a hint from his problem and purchased the Super Heavy duty Shop Fox mobile base from Grizzly, which had to be assembled around the 500 pound grizzly bear! Got it mostly qassembled but realized the longer rails were too long! Dissassemble! Cut rails, and paint. Reassemble and get down to last bolt. I'm missing a washer. No problem I have a lot of hardware. And hour later…no washer! Grrrr! Found a jar of washers! Holes too small! Bored out hole and assembled, I reattached the wings to the table and turned off the light.

Oh yeah, I have to install 220 into the electric panel. Step five to be continued.

I hear ya!
One step forward, three steps back, turn left, go forward, turn right, navigate around an as yet incomplete tool setup and try to remember where you started & what you are doing!!! Trying to set up shop can be frustrating. If only I had a completed shop, then my shop set up would be sooo much easier!!!

Sometimes things do not go as we have planned…but you seemed to have had your share of hurdles. You will get it done and before you know it we will all be admiring your projects here on Lumberjocks.
When you are motivated nothing can stop you.

So how do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time. Sounds like you're making headway. But take it from a seasoned shopper, sales are only a good thing if you buy what you are going to use in that particular decade!!

Doc, just reading what you have been doing around your house the last few months makes me tired!
So if anybody deserves some quality time in the shop, it's you. Have fun making sawdust.

Had too much of everything at one time because of tool sales. Thank God I was able to sell most of them years back. It was my daughter who told me "it doesn't mean that it's cheap and you can afford it that you have to buy it" I always say this aloud whenever I have the itch to buy something that I think I might need. lol.. I hope you get everything running soon! HAve a fantastic day my friend!

Figured out how where to find files! added recent pics

Electrical wiring Gas Machine Engineering Electrical supply


look sidways!

Wood Machine tool Gas Saw Toolroom


Harbor Frieght Lathe added a year ago!

Wood Workbench Gas Toolroom Machine


Cabinet saw and old craftsman router table on wooden table

Miter saw Tradesman Sander Door Wood


Before the add ins

Clothing Table Furniture Wood Kitchen


Couldn't find the current pictures, will post when I get the darn things labeled? !

Thanks for following. Sorta feel like the Pigpen character in Penuts comics. The clound of chaos seems to hang over me. But I move through it.

Snow, finding a lost dog, and my work ( including filling out insurace billing forms..GRRRR) that pays money for food, seem to take alot of time? Oh yeah seeing what the masters are doing on LJ's and normal chores seem to take some more of that thing called time?

I took some stills which I will attempt (first time) to include. Also practicing with new digital movie camera to emulate (nice word LOL!) Andy Halewood, and Charles Neil, but in the woodbutcher style, :)

Learning a new woodworking vocabulary…3P's Patience, Precision, Practice. We'll see how well I remember when I'm in the shop????

Started, and still in the middle of a cosmetic uplift for the Ol Lady..My 1023 Grizzly cabinet saw. When I was assembling the Sop Fox Dolly, I couldn't find the washer? And spent an hour looking through the hardware because I haven't "Put it Back", and had to bore out a washer to finish the job. Same thing! Wings went on smothly, but trying to find the bolts for the fence guide rails…..nope!

We do have a hardware store that carries a lot of stuff farmers require. So I found what I needed.

As I said…Doing cosmetic work while assembling to protect the cabinet saw from moisture in those worn places…couldn't find any Black Paint! Back to the hardware store and found something for tractors. It has a hardener to mix in, although not required. Bought it…Will use it on my Snow Plow truck as well.

Oh yeah, the dog showed up, and I shoveled slush and ice.

Saga to be continued!

But I am getting there LOL! ( Practicing the first P)

Not using photobucket, and I don't have my pictures labeled. This is the bench I built, but the grizzly may require removal of the longer section of the bench!

Thanks for following. Sorta feel like the Pigpen character in Penuts comics. The clound of chaos seems to hang over me. But I move through it.

Snow, finding a lost dog, and my work ( including filling out insurace billing forms..GRRRR) that pays money for food, seem to take alot of time? Oh yeah seeing what the masters are doing on LJ's and normal chores seem to take some more of that thing called time?

I took some stills which I will attempt (first time) to include. Also practicing with new digital movie camera to emulate (nice word LOL!) Andy Halewood, and Charles Neil, but in the woodbutcher style, :)

Learning a new woodworking vocabulary…3P's Patience, Precision, Practice. We'll see how well I remember when I'm in the shop????

Started, and still in the middle of a cosmetic uplift for the Ol Lady..My 1023 Grizzly cabinet saw. When I was assembling the Sop Fox Dolly, I couldn't find the washer? And spent an hour looking through the hardware because I haven't "Put it Back", and had to bore out a washer to finish the job. Same thing! Wings went on smothly, but trying to find the bolts for the fence guide rails…..nope!

We do have a hardware store that carries a lot of stuff farmers require. So I found what I needed.

As I said…Doing cosmetic work while assembling to protect the cabinet saw from moisture in those worn places…couldn't find any Black Paint! Back to the hardware store and found something for tractors. It has a hardener to mix in, although not required. Bought it…Will use it on my Snow Plow truck as well.

Oh yeah, the dog showed up, and I shoveled slush and ice.

Saga to be continued!

But I am getting there LOL! ( Practicing the first P)
I mainly am laughing because I am starting a complete shop overhaul and I can't find anything!

Looking good Tom…it is a lot of fun putting a shop together..even though it is easy to get antsy about wanting to work on some non-shop products…
What type of miter saw is that on your table? I don't recognize it.
