Re: Calling all benchtop warriors

I don't know where to start. My main piece of equipment is a 50+ year old Craftsman table saw, that I have been using for 50 years! I just recrntly muilt a Besmier(sp) style fence afor it after fighting the old pot metal original fence. I have a Lathe that I bought for $20 from a friend, it was sold by Fingerhut! It looks to be about a 6" swing with a 36 + bed. I have a Rigid 13 inch planer, a combination saw 4 or 5 routers which I build my own extra large tables to do door panels etc. I have a 4' Ryobi bandsaw a 6inch table mtd belt sander. Several cordless drills a hammer drill several hand sanders, electric skill saw a mortising machine a 6" rockwell jointer salvaged from a friends throw away stuff, a Ryobi grinder and a couple of dovetail devices. Now what is, I think, is situated in a RV shelter with a galvanized roof but no walls except the side fastened to the house the rest is covered with trailer skirting The shop is behind a 5
foot wooden fence with a steel security gate in frontof the shop itself. I build furniture made from waterbed frames when I can find them so far I have built a 6ft wide hutch that is 7 ft tall a cabinet for my aquarium a 5ft wide TV cabinet for my LCD tv my next project is replcing the inside doors with Shaker style rail and stile construction. I realy didn't get serious about furniture building until after I retired and need something more to do besides regular house maintenance.
