hi all....
i'd like to introduce myself to the forum. I've already made a post earlier on but i've just been bitten by The Bug and see myself spending more and more time in the backyard knocking things up so i finally decided to start getting myself a half decent workshop
So here are the results after a few frantic weeks of buying gear and clearing out 1 side of a double car garage (this is all i've been allowed so far).
the gear so far is my workbench which has been recently made. It's not like a "traditional workbench" but then before i started browsing through the internet etc, i really didnt have a clue what a traditional workbench was meant to be. The vice is still not attached properly.
The table saw is a KS-12K from Carba-tec. Bandsaw is a 14", again from Carba-tec as is the router table and triton router under it.
The sander is a 6" disc and 4" belt sander combo.
I'm still in the process of putting up the cabinets along the two walls and making proper stands for all the big kit inc TS and Bandsaw as i dont like the stands that come with those.
I've got another double car garage in FRONT of the current garage (that's where the cars go) so i'm thinking of blocking off the garage door alltogether and perhaps building a temporary wall with some ply wood to give me 3 walled sides. The otherside of this double car garage belongs to my partner (infact this whole garage belonged to her and i had a little shed in the backyard) but we've just come to an agreement with regards to boundaries and borders :) :)
Still got to get a few things like drill press, another router for overhand use and i've also ordered a system called Routermaster for slab work (which is really what i want to do). Oh i also need to get cracking on a Dust collection system and getting an extractor fan put in to allow some air flow.
Well, i just thought i'd share what i'm doing so far, so pls feel free to give me your comments, suggestions and thoughts.
Thanks again, i look forward to being a more active member of the forum.
regards
Jeelan
