    Default An hours job that took over a week :)

    I decided to put my Blue Spruce paring chisels & my Lie Nielsen chisels here in this cabinet

    Here they are now.





    I then decided my work bench would be better directly below the tool cabinets, but to do so would mean the mitre saw bench would have to be moved to another wall. You can see from this pic it's in the way.




    With it moved the bench was placed in position and a new home for my router table.




    Meanwhile at the other end of the shop The morticer & drill stand had to be moved






    With those moved it cleared the way to re-home the mitre saw bench, I also angled the position of the saw table and my planer.






    Now with the cleared wall where the mitre bench was all my other machines have a lot more room.
    The Drill press was also taken off it's steel table and now resides at the end of the mitre table.




    So what started as somewhere to put my new chisels has taken a week of total upheaval

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Sharp looking cabinet, a place of honor for the chisels.

    Nice looking shop.

    Cleaning my glasses will not make me look any better,
    But will make what I am looking at better.

    Mate, that's a shop to dream of. Do you do anything commercial or is it only a hobby (or obsession!!!).

    Cheers,

    It's an optical illusion, there is a two foot gap from the end of the bench and the door. Anything longer than 5ft I will have to open the door. perhaps another pic is needed.

    It's just a hobby along with sailing, photography, and dog showing
