Wow!! What a shop.

[Tar Heel]

I was in the Washington area this weekend and visted with Alan. I got the grand tour of his shop and what a shop it is. And with the plans he has (see his post with the back bench pics) it will be even more impressive when he's finished. Alan, I can see from the pics that you got in a lot of shop time since I was there. Alan is a very innovative and creative guy and I really enjoyed my visit.

I have to second your comments, Stuart! Alan sure has a nack for very innovative ideas. The DC, air compressor outlets, hoist and all of that space blew me away when I visited a few weeks back. Needless to say, he sure has a nice collection of tools as well!!!

Well worth a visit for those like me that have a habit of drooling over nice toys. 'r tools!

Sounds really nice. That shop will be top of the line by the time he' finished!

Thanks guys.

If I'm home, the shop is always open for tours.

I got backbench dividers and spacers finished and figured out how to mount my Sliding Compund Miter Saw. I made a recess in the wall (for the rails) and also mounted it on a sliding plarform so I can stow it without it sticking out past the edge of the bench. Tonight I started planing some oak for the face frames. Planed about 50+ bdft, but without planing my whole stack, I won't be able to tell how much QSWO I have. I will just have to make my cabinets with whatever comes off the stack. Oh well, its just a shop and the oak was really cheap.
