Re: Building the Perfect Workshop

I have to agree with these folks....I have a two car garage/workshop that needs to double for ski waxing, bicycle storage and house repairs. I have a Hybrid Table saw, 6" jointer, 13" planer, a shopsmith that serves as drill press, lathe and band saw, dust collector, two work benches...and everything has been designed to roll away, under, above something else...I can set up and tear down in about ten minutes, because at the end of the day, I always have to park two cars in the garage. Always great to look at the great dream workshops, but thought that they should do an article on guys like us, that have to fit several hobbies into one spot. I seem to spend a lot of time planning, and re planning the garage space to try and fit the next tool. I dream about the day I will get a place that I can dedicate to my tools, but until then, I just buy things with wheels.

Re: Tool Chest Contest Winner is Selected

So I have read all the comments, and have to say- Great Job on building the cabinet. Kudos to you for having the patience...It would not be my style, in fact I would be afraid to work around it for fear of damaging it. But different strokes for different folks as they say. In all the conversation about the merits of this cabinet as a valid representation of this contest, I didn't want the builder to think that his hard work was unappreciated.
