1. Festo Rotex 150 sander. Very versatile and probably most used tool in the workshop.
2. Woodman 14" Bandsaw.
3. Hitachi TR12 router, bullet proof and unstoppable.
4. Makita 3620 router for the little jobs.
5. Ryobi (with decent bearings) 3/4hp 16 speed drill press.
6. DeWalt DW788 scrollsaw.
7. Makita jigsaw (model unknown)
8. Triton workcentre.
9. B&D workmate table, great tool.
10. Triton dust collector bucket, saves me a fortune in vac bags for the old Miele vacuum cleaner I use a a DC.
11. Bozo, our German Shepherd who ensures the previous ten remain mine!
NOt a pro and a think beyond novice. spend about three days a week in the shop and do some restoration work to pay for new tools, also supply some galleries with my work and this generates a little bit of income for me.
Just started a run of wine racks and have promised wifey a new coffee table which I may christen with that free espresso from Neil. http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif
