Thanks, glad I could help

Thanks

Thanks Dave. All of those spray paint cans took up a lot of space under my bench. By making that pull out rack, it created a lot of new found space.

Ray, the entire shop is 12'x22'. The main part is 12'x14', the room on the other side of the shower curtain is 12'x8'. I don't cool the smaller room, I'm not in that part as much and my little ac unit probably isn't big enough anyway.

Thanks! I wish it was bigger though. Originally 12x14, about 8 years ago I added on so now it's 12x22 and still not big enough.

Thanks!

My shop remodel is finally done! I started this in August while on one of my work vacations. Prior to the remodel I had exposed wall studs with insulation. I was using a 30 year old Craftsman rotary table as my main worktop that wasn't meant to be used as that. I had some corner shelving that I could never find anything on. I met a guy that lived a couple of miles from me that also did woodworking. He had a source for lumber that was rejects from a local mill. He was getting tongue and groove Pine and Cypress in 36" and 44" lengths, 3/4" thick x 5 1/2" wide. We become friends and he gave me a really good price on all the lumber that I needed. I decided to go with the Cypress because, well.. it's Cypress! Towards the end of my remodel he lost his source for the lumber and I had to finish up using a little bit of Pine, but it is mostly hidden by my lumber storage. I needed a miter saw station that could double as a work surface as my shop is small. It is 12' x 22'. The main part is 12'x14' with an addition that I built a few years ago of 12'x8'. In the new part I have my table saw that has a router table on it, storage and this is where I mounted my Dust Right motor/bag. This part is still a mess right now. I made the miter saw station as long as I could with the room that I have. On one end below the top I have a stationary shelf, on the other end I made a roll out cabinet that can be used as more work surface if needed. On this cart I will add some plywood wings on each side to increase that work surface if needed. I will use hinges and a support system so that the ends can be folded down when not in use to fit back under the miter saw station. I used reclaimed Cedar from fence panels that the last hurricane knocked down to make a roll out spray paint holder that I attached using drawer guides. I build some wall hanging shelves above the miter saw station for needed storage. I spent 4 hours a couple days ago cleaning up the original workbench to complete the remodel project. Threw a lot of stuff away that I have been hoarding for years. Find my very first tool pouch that I bought when I was 16 for VOTEC while I was in high school. Found my Dad's old benchtop grinder that you can turn on and stop the wheels from spinning with a pinch of your fingers. LOL,, that thing has been used hard! I still need to put a trim piece above and on one side of the doorway going into the new part of the shop and figure out what to do above the walls on the gable ends and on the ceiling. The new part of my shop is not insulated so to keep the cold air from the air conditioner kept in the main part I use a shower curtain to keep the air in. This works very good. As the part that is intended to be kept cool stays cool, the other side is hot though. I can now get back to making things that has been collecting in my "to do" list. I want to make something special as my first project in my "new" shop. I'm thinking about maybe a porch swing. I have linked a short video of the shop for your viewing pleasure, 'cause I know if there isn't any pics,, then it didn't happen! https://youtube.com/watch?v=0wpBbSstpkc&feature=share

Great job! I looked at those when Steve posted them. My wife loves Snowmen. I had actually forgotten about them until you posted.

I have an old Craftsman rotating table that I have had for close to 30 years. The idea was great but it is not practical for me. Mine has 3 stations. I have always had a spindle sander on one side, a disc/belt sander on another and the third side was left open as my worktop... I have a small shop. Anytime that I need one of the sanders I had to clear off the worktop in order to flip the table. Also the side that I used as my worktop had a piece of metal going across the table on both ends to help keep the table from flipping. These pieces of metal didn't give me a truly flat worktop. Most of the time I had to put a piece of plywood on the top to get a flat worktop. I just remodeled my shop and currently have this table on Offerup for sale. No one has even asked about it over the last couple of months. Next week it is going to the dump!

Very clean looking, great job.

I like that one on the right.. no,, the other right. LOL ...and I think picture frames are over rated. I am working on remodeling my shop.. almost done. I was hoping that I would have some room to hang some of the things that I have made once I am done but it doesn't look like I will have much room.

That is a great pattern and cut! I have cut one of Charlie's other Cash patterns. I have several waiting to be cut once I get my shop remodeled.

Ernest T was one of my favorites as well. Although it seemed like more, I believe he was only in 6 episodes. He also directed several.

Another awesome pattern and cut!

Cool! I made several of them a few years ago.

Very well done! If you are still sending out copies, I would love to have one. Thanks

Beautiful woman, beautiful cutting!

If most of your stock is 3/4" to 1" and you plane it down to an 1/8" or less, you are wasting a lot of material. Your best bet would be to use the bandsaw to "resaw" the stock. then sand each piece. You would get 2 or 3 thin pieces out of each 3/4" piece. I remember last year I needed some 1/4" cedar,, all I could find at the time was some 3/4" at Lowes. (Didn't want to order and have to wait) $22 for an 8' piece,, I ran it through the planer and got it down to 1/4" I looked on the ground and I had about $15 worth of cedar saw dust all over the ground. LOL

Very nice! You wanna be my uncle? LOL I love cutting Eagles. Have a few that I have cut, have a few statues, got a 4' chainsaw carving of one and one inked onto my arm.

All are very nice! I've made the church one myself.

I was 8 when Grease came out. I'm pretty sure she was my first crush too!

The woodgrain in the sky looks like the clouds. Very nice in all aspects.

Same here. LOL I don't golf and only know one that does and that is who it would be for.

Spray the center black? I have an Elvis record and a pattern, but what I don't have is .... time!

I like them all! The apple and worm really "POP" with the color. Great job!
