what’s your dream workshop setup and how’s progress?
I reckon if you know where you want to get to, you have a better chance of getting there some day because you have something to work towards. So where do you want to get to and where are you up to?
I’ve been watching this Manor Wood guy from the UK and he has built close to my dream setup (but he needs it to make a living!). Two years ago he was crammed in a 5m x 3m sized workshop and he’s certainly come a long way! https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCxxvt...qC0tZMg/videos
His setup (and basically my dream workshop:
High roof block and timber barn with classic style wooden doors
Altendorf Sliding Table Saw
Felder 500mm? Jointer/Thicknesser
Felder 510 Band Saw
Hammer F3 spindle moulder
Felder 960mm Wide Belt
Felder dust extractor?
A mountain of Festool gear
A Felder FAT300 hydraulic lift work table/cart and lots of bench dogs etc
A metal work shop in the other half used mostly by his son.
How far have I got?
work in the garage in my house
Felder 510 bandsaw
makita table saw
Jet 260 jointer/ planer
Jet 22-44 drum sander
Cast Iron Router Table
3hp DC
Festool Kapex, TS55, Domino
what’s next:
Proper mitre saw table with wood racks underneath, fence with stops and tops drilled for 20mm dog system
square? rolling work table drilled for 20mm dog system
Ditch the makita table saw to make space and just use the bandsaw, kapex and ts55 for all cutting
I feel very lucky to have got this far, how is progress in your workshop journey?
