This thread reminds me of my late father. When giving me a measurement it might end like this. it is 120 cms and half an inch.

I have a number of steel rulers in my shed. I grabbed one of them...

Because I live in Australia I have to ask the reason for this question. We use the metric system here, but occassionaly with imported items especially from the States they come in Imperial sizes.

In my opinion for the average Joe it is on tool that fits into the category the cheaper the better. The grinder is what it is a grinder. No great accuracy is required to be built into it. The discs...

I have got a Ryobi. it is very solid and looks well made and is a step up from the bottom of the line jigsaws but not in the league of a Festool.

The one and only issue I have with it is that the...

Thanks for all your replies. I think we have a winner.

Glenn has summed up all your replies which all actually are the right answers. Glenn's suggestion to be...

Sorry about that. I usually reread and edit my post but on this one for some reason the EDIT function was not working and I could not do. besides I do not think we have a Spell check function on this...

Thanks for the replies. I think all three of you have summed up the dilema I am in. Anthony is closer to where I am at. Chris explains what commercial woodworkers do. I realise that because my wood...

The one area I struggle with in woodworking is shop space. I do not think it is because I do not have enough. Well, one can never have enough but really, it's not what you have got but how you use...

For a moment I thought I thought I had lodged on to the wrong site. What's a dongle?

While I am just getting my head around all this I think it is important you have as much information laid out on the desk so you can make an informed decission on which way to go.

Tony.

Could you please tell us how you actually cut the saw handles. I am assuming you used a scroll saw and not a band saw, am I correct?

The work looks neatly...

Thanks for all your help and interest. Your ideas helped me to do some research and google some information based on what you guys suggested.

Unfortunately, I still can not post pictures. That is...

Because I live on acreage and it is the rainy season here the grass is growing in front of you. We do have a couple of miniature dexter cattle as pets to help keep the pasture down but at this time...

Hi Mike, great shop. I was in Omaha a few years back for about six weeks at Christmas. I had see every shopping mall in the city. Even Victoria's Secret. Fortunately I did have some entertainment at...

John,

beautiful shed. Sorry, had to put that in. Beautiful set up. Is the top section part of a split level home.

Thanks Russell. The problem I have is that what I would do for my own shop has to be different to what I do at the club.

We have some, not to bright people here at times, and they have little...

Thanks for the dimensions . The standard here is about 20 x 20 but not much room for anything else, so it is not abnormal to go out to 24 or 30 in width.

Mine is approx 24 x 20 but I lose 4ft...

Thank you John for posting that. Are you sure it really is a two car garage. Looks a lot larger than our standard two car garage in OZ>

What is the actually floor dimensions. It sure looks like...

George, It is a strange set up. It is not a club as you generally know it. Apparently it is an arm of the church as part of a community program to encourage the community to...

Thanks for the replies. The club is part of a church group and most of the members are getting on, even the power brokers on the committee. Most have given up but just come along to fill in time but...

I am in a wood group club. We are having a tidy up and trying to get things back in to some semblance of order.

With your own shop you design things to suit your self and organise your more...

Thank you for all the replies. Those photos of your shop and your ideas show that they are actually for work not like some of those in the glossy magazines where the intention appears to be for show...

I too live on acreage and have started a thread on workshop storage solutions. I never thought about leaving the compressor outside or other tools as well.

Sometimes you just...

Thanks guys.

Some good information there. I have not had time to study each reply thoroughly but it looks like you have read my thread exactly as I wanted it to be received and your replies...
