My hand tool storage. I picked up the peg board at a yard sale for $1 a sheet and bought 10 sheets so I have used a lot of it. I am planning a tool cabinet as my next project.
My band saw a Craftsman 12-inch which is fine. And other storage. I have french cleats holding all my storage items so I can move them if needed.
Drill press and Triton wood storage.
A ridgid granite top table saw, delta 6-inch jointer at the back is router table with a Triton 2 1/4 hp router and a Steel City dust collector. I grouped them like that to run the dust collection pipes easier. I have all the blast gates between the saw and the collector. Ridgid thicknesser.

  • Type: Basement

In my previous house I had to work in a double garage and really got tired of moving tools around. So when we moved I found a house with an unfinished basement so I could have dedicated space.

This is it's normal "between project" state. I am not very fussy about cleaning during projects but between projects it always gets a good clean.

It is on a slop in my yard so obviously it is up on footings with one end higher off the ground than the other. The 425lbs of this table saw has caused a significant sag in the joists that I am currently having to replace and reinforce. I am putting in twice as many and doubling them up now.

I also find I do better work working in a clean shop than when it is a mess.
