    Finally have a shop

    Hello,

    I have been a browser of this site for a long time but this is my first post. I just finally returned from overseas military duty and have put together my shop. The stuff has been collecting in a garage back home as it went on sale. I am just waiting my my 20 and 30 amp twist lock plugs and I can start making dust. I will go pick up a load of rough sewn wood tommorow for my first project use. I have always enjoyed coming to this sight and have learned many things reading others posts. I look forward to actually participating in the fun now. I have attached a few pictures of my new oasis.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Welcome Kyle! Looks like you have a nice place to work and some good equipment. If you give me some specifics about dimensions, ceiling height, and location I will add your shop to the summary thread on SMC members shop characteristics.

    By the way, we all use our full surnames at this forum. Please change your profile to provide yours.

    Kyle, congratulations on getting your own place to make the dust fly! But then, with a dust collection system, well, not that much should fly, but at least the projects should start to hum out of the shop. I know when my shop was up and running, it was one of the happier days. Enjoy!
    There's one in every crowd......and it's usually me!

    Welcome to the Creek, Kyle! I see you already have the picture thing down solid, so I won't even go into that! Looks like you've got yourself a mighty fine shop, as well. I note the "Woodsucker". Great unit, but I'd really consider doing some enclosure around it to muffle the noise a bit. The thing is LOUD! At any rate, you've found a great place to hang out and share tips, info, questions, gloats and just about anything else one can think of! Stop often and stay long!
    Cheers,
    John K. Miliunas

    Kyle, welcome to SMC and more importanly, welcome back to your "new oasis". (Thanks for your service) The shop looks great and you're going to really enjoy making that lumber into whatever the wood tells you it wants to be!

    BTW, relative to Franks's comment about getting your last name added, you'll need to contact Jackie Outten to get that taken care of administratively.

    Hi Kyle,

    I just finally returned from overseas military duty
    THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!

    Don't forget to post your stats for Frank P.

    I guess my public must be pretty huge then.
