Here is my all-round workbench. I use this for small mechanical repairs and for setting up my sharping system for
sharping chisels, plane irons and so on.
Here is a picture of my good old Dewalt 500270 10" radial arm saw that I bought for $50.00. I would have never
have bought one if I did not find this one for such a good price. I have had it now for about six years and I use it
all the time.
Here is my Delta 34-080 10" chop saw. I made the stand for this saw about 15 years ago and I have moved it numerous
times until I finally found a place where it works out great in my shop. I think!
Here is my Delta P20 20" scroll saw and my Delta/Rockwell sander grinder. They work good next to each other because
I like to grind a point on my scroll saw blades allowing me to make smaller entrance holes into the pieces that I am doing
fret work on.
Here is my Delta 14-651 hollow chisel mortiser. What a handy tool! It is sitting on top of a tool box
which I store most of my woodworking hand tools.
This is my Delta 22-580 13" planer. Notice the sled that I installed so that I can plane wood down to 1/4" comfortably.
This is my most recent tool to be added to my collection, a Delta 31-255X 18"-36" drum sander. Just like everything
else, you wonder how you got along without it once you have it.
By now you are probably wondering if ever buy any stationary tools other than Delta. Well here is my Jet JWBS 18"
bandsaw. What a wonderful tool for re-sawing! I have not found anything yet that I wanted to do that I could not
do with this saw.
This is my good old Chicago DP558-2 5 speed drill press. I have owned this since the mid seventies and it is still
working great! I made the drill press table with replaceable inserts where the drill is centered. The clamps are
made out of white oak that I salvaged from an old pallet.
This is my Grizzly G1018 8" jointer. What a work horse. I am considering to replace the jointer head from
jointer knives to the carbide tip cutters. I have to think about this for awhile.
This is another machine that I use all the time. A Grizzly G1071 oscillating spindle sander. Before I had
this I made a jig up so I could use my drill press for spindle sanding. This sure does a much better job.
Here is my Grizzly G1531 6" X 80" edge sander. I do not use this all that much but when I do there is no other
tool to match it.
This is a downdraft table that I built sitting on top of a cabinet that I also built. The vent hood above
the table is an old vent hood that we replaced in our kitchen. It sure does help with the dust.
The following two pictures are how I store my plywood. I was having trouble with somewhere to store all of the
cut off pieces so I came up with this cart.
Now this piece of equipment which we will refer to as a wood stove is for the projects that just do not turn out right!
This little stove heats up my workshop just fine.
Thank-you for visiting my workshop. If you have any comments good or bad please sign my guest book to let
me know what you think.
