Ye Olde Wood Shop
The photos are from a small shop I built approximately five years ago. It measures 24 x 36 overall. I built a dividing wall at 22’ to separate the main shop from my sharpening and wood storage...
TV Stand
This TV stand is made from Oak and Oak veneer plywood I had in the shop. This was a Christmas gift for the family this year. Simple design that does the job.

That would be a very handy jig for a 1 man shop, those 4x8 sheets are very awkward. I've made a slight modification to your jig to add stability but I don't know how to add a picture. Bruce (Wood Chuck)

I use the end mills in my Jessem Zip Slot mortiser, They do a great job even with a drill as a power source. The Zip Slot cutter hasa vacumn attachment so chips are not an issue.

I am one of the fortunate ones. I moved from a single car garage to a 24x36 shop that I build about 4 years ago. The majority of my equipment is stationary: however I still use a few of my benchtop tools. Even though all of my benchtop equipment is secured in place and the dust collection is hooked up all of the time they are still benchtop tools. I have a General Mortiser, a 14" Delta Drill press, Ryobi disk/belt sander, small Mastercraft scroll saw and a portable Turncrafter Pro lathe. I take the lathe to craft shows and turn pens at the show. I find it doesn't matter what tools you have if they are properly maintained and have sharp blades they all work well. Happy woodworking!
