Re: UPDATED: What Tools Are on Your Holiday Wish List?

Hmm... It's a never-ending list!

a) Fein Multimaster
b) P-C Biscuit Joiner
c) Grizzly Portable Cyclone dust extractor (6' high for my 7'6" tall basement shop!)
d) A bigger shop!
e) Delta ambient air/dust cleaner
f) Nice set of water stones for sharpening chisels/blades
g) A proper woodworking bench
h) A lathe
...

Realistically I'm hoping for one of the above, but you did ask for a WISH list.

Re: The Not So Big Workshop

I've got my shop in a room just like yours in my basement... air ducts and all.

It does call for some sacrifices, but it also limits my expenses! I can't buy that big jointer I want (and probably can't really afford yet) because it just won't fit.

The best part is coming up with slick ways to store tools that uses minimal space.

Regarding your portable planer, I've seen a plan for a workbench where you mount the planer on a pivoting or hinged surface so that it hangs upside down under the work surface when not in use. If I can find it, I'll post another comment.

Cheers!
