    Alan,

    Very nice. I've only got two comments: it's too clean and you need more clocks!!

    Nice shop, nice fly-through on Sketchup too.

    Before you get too far, put 1/2" to 3/4 ply on the walls so you can store vertically on the walls rather than in stacks on horizontal surfaces. Hanging wall units hold LOTS of stuff and this makes room for MORE TOOLS 'n toys.

    Alan,
    Great looking shop and video. I agree with the too clean comment but a man can never have too many clocks. I probably have thirty clocks total and most of them are running all the time.
    Thanks for the tour.

    Very nice shop. Definitely looks sanitized other than the miter saw and wood pile. I envy the amount of floor space. Is this attached to your house or a separate workshop?

    It is the basement of my home. Most homes in Michigan have full basements. In other parts of the country, I gather that basements are rare.

    Nice video and quite a nice collection of tools. I am envious of the amount of space that you have. I wish I had a mother in law like yours.

    Thanks for sharing. Nice work on the fly thru with the sketchup and I love the transition at the table saw. I am working on my shop design in sketchup right now. I would love to find out some info on the little cnc. I have noknowledge of them or how to use one, but they seem like you could have some fun with it.
    I take big parts, cut them into little parts, and glue back into big parts.

    Cheers,
    Definitly more clocks. The space looks real nice and you've gotten quite a loit done there. I think I'm tired just taking the tour .

    I use my shop cabinets, lumber racks, jigs and fixtures all as practice for pieces to come. I'll use unneccessary joinery on a wall cabinet, for example, just to practice on something that is more functional than aesthetic. Have fun and keep us posted.

    Guys, take a look at Alan's under-deck shed. Very nice.
