Shop Specs

  • Location: Beaverton, Oregon, 60
  • Size: garsq. ft.
  • Type:
  • Focus:
  • Heating/Cooling:

My shop is framed in, inside the garage. 60 square feet total. Annoyingly small...

Tools inside the shop: Rigid 14" Bandsaw, Delta 12.5" lathe, Delta Belt/disc sander, Rigid 6" grinder/buffer, Rigid shop vac, Grizzly 2x72 belt grinder, 1x30 belt grinder, router table, Onieda Dust Deputy, Delta 12" drill press, small compressor, plus an array of handtools, sanders, etc... Needless to say it's a little tight in there.

My tablesaw and Performax drum sander have to go outside.

Mostly I am a woodturner. I also make jewelry/trinket boxes, small furniture, and custom knives. See more at http://www.chrisndesigns.com

I noticed the Rigid 14" bandsaw and the green riser block. Are you using the Grizzly riser block kit? Just curious because I have got one but haven't yet installed it (the Rigid one was just too bloody expensive and is exactly the same except for the green paint).
