Tool grinding/sharpening area, the slice of oak trunk on the wall was cut from a tree that actually were two trees with each their own piths and in the middle there is a bark covered hole.
Lathe area. A fully restored 20 VS Wilton drill press (880lbs) and a 24 Meber band saw.

Shop Specs

My new woodworking shop is an addition we made after Hurricane Katrina to an existing multi function shop I had for 20 years. The new shop is 900 sqft of heated/cooled space with 10' ceilings and gives a nice airy feeling with plenty of natural lighting. Most of my woodworking interests are in furniture and pro style  finishing and outdoor furniture.

Thanks for your comments.

Nice shop and my wife about fell over seeing that sewing table, it is beautiful. Are there plans for that or did you come up with those on your own? Thanks

I just built a new 1000 sq ft shop and placed my dust collection systen under the floor. It makes sense to me that your dust collections system has to work harder to suck dust up rather than down, which is the way gravity works. Was their a reason to go over head?
