That appears to be a pretty good deal for lightly used tools congrats!! Other than the price I cannot recall any negatives thoughts on my Festool items...well there was one sander I actually wasn't fond of and sold ...but considering how much I now own pretty much just price and you definitely hit a score there 🙂

They’re probably like me and break them down outside and no dc is needed.
yep!

I like @Chet use my TS55 to primarily knock down sheet goods and the only thing I would change is to go cordless if I were to do it over again.

Nice!!

Kev for what its worth I saw woodturningz.com had 4 pack of ornament blanks at a pretty good discount to Craft Supplies.

I have forced air furnace heat/ Air conditioning in my shop becuase mini splits weren't a thing when I built my shop but I have always thought if my unit craps out I would look at them for both space and cost considerations. Keep me posted we definitely get cold here -1 is the high for the next few days 🙂

Looks great!! I appreciate the mini split info as well I had heard they wouldn't work well in markets that cold good to know they have either improved or what I had read was not accurate.

Those are pretty cool!
Did you purchase the blanks or make them yourself? Where did you pick up the metal parts?
Picked up the blanks and the parts from Craft Supplies USA ...but I think I would look elsewhere for the blanks they were quite a bit bigger then required and I ended up cutting about 1/4" of two sides of each blank before turning.

Paul, not having a lathe, I wouldn’t know but is having the tool rack behind and over the lathe, not a safety concern? Or is it a given that when you change tools, that you shut the machine down? Or maybe the tool rack is to your back?
At 6’1 with long arms not an issue as far as grabbing a tool. The lathe is purposely at an angle that way should/ when something flies off the lathe it will deflect to the left not straight back at me. I have tested this a couple times over the years with success 😊

I have a cabinet to the right of my lathe with drawer storage and added a shelf underneath for blanks etc and a tool rack behind on the wall for the tools. On my old set up I had a shelf between the lathe and the stand which worked but as you mentioned would fill up fast so this time I went with the wall rack. We'll see what I think after a while but I think it will work.

Back up and running.. I'm certainly no expert when it comes to internet speeds and stuff but, I'm told these numbers are pretty good especially considering where we live..
That there is some fast internet my friend, regardless of where you live 🙂

I typically copy someone else plans or just go off a picture I like. The latter can bite you in the butt though just had to run to the lumber yard and get another piece of oak for my spectator chairs due to another design change during constriction 🤦♂️
On a positive note the I will be able to use the changed parts for other pieces of the build so that's good. If I was getting paid like Kev is sharing on his current project oh my my labor cost would be off by like 12 hours and counting 🤣

Well the good news is that after setting the new bench in place against my saw it doesn’t appear that I will need to do any modifications if I don’t want to and feel like the bend isn’t too much which it doesn’t seem to be. The only thing I could do is attach something to fit in that weird bar off the back of the saw but I don’t know if it’s really needed at this point. Might be a bad spot to collect dust but can blow it out or vacuum frequently. Leave it as is it come up with a solution to fit into bar?
I think this bench is going to be a joy. I have my 8” jointer nice and tight against the saw to be more compact and have ample room before the saw and around the new bench. With it’s current configuration I have 99 inches from the garage door to the blade, and I like my extra large ruobo off the wall to have access all around it and with it 4ft off the back wall I still have slightly over 8ft between benches. If I do have a big project (I.e. a king bed) I can push the ruobo against the wall and I have just over 12ft between benches. Can’t wait to continue working on this bench and finish it up. I have the leveling feet and holdfasts ordered and will order the leg vise soon. Next will be finishing out the cabinets underneath that I’ll pick all your brains on soon.
Awesome shop!!

I saw it somewhere and copied it to work for my set up. It has worked well for many years.
