How could we go so long and forget to include Stu and his amazing site:(
The guy`s brilliant at lateral workshop thinking. Good example is the dust/cover for the SCMS on page 15. the adjustable cover is so simple. sensational. Im gunna have to copy that one:D
Of all the so called 'inspirational" sites i think this is truley deserving of the title:D :D

That is indeed an amazing setup, I wish I was half as well organised as Stu. One thing puzzles me - how does he get big stuff and finished items in and out of there? Or am I missing something here?

Goose:D you have to go to the first few pages and you will see how he gets them in. What an effort to only have workshop access from a 1200mm sq hole in the roof:eek:

Sheddie. did you see the link to Doug Abbotts planer blade sharpening jig in Stu`s site
http://www.ablett.jp/workshop/oak/doug_abbott.htm
What a great jig. Alot of blades dont have the holes for the little bolts like he has, but to modify it with snug stops and rare earth magnets would work well. I just paid $38 for a pair of double sided 12" blades to be sharpend:( That was before i seen this jig. Im gunna have to make it:D

Howdy Aussie:D Have you had a bit of a read. Its increadable how it all went through that little hole. He`s even got his little vac and hand held circular saw hanging from the celing. No one with small sheds should ever complain again:D

I don't have much to say these days (otherwise occupied with extensions as owner/builder) but I still cruise the forum and bank good ideas.
Cheers ;)
