verhoevenc Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Ok, so I was tired of always working in my dorm all year round... so I finally put down the money needed and built a shop, fully tool equipt! Granted, it IS in my parent's basement... which means I can only use it when I'm home over summer/christmas break, but atleast I can now get BIG work done, like wood processing, and then do the usual work I do in my dorm as always. Atleast it saves me trips and pleeding with cabinet maker's stores. If you wanna see it normal sized (ie: big) go ahead and click HERE. As for what you're looking at: 6" jointer, 2hp dust collector, 6"x48" belt sander, 8" drill press, 17" extreme series bandsaw, Sears lathe with copy carving, 22-44 Performax drum sander, dehumidifier , 60" workbench, tool chest. I'm happy with it Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verhoevenc Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I actually have a 12.75" planer.,.... it's just not here. I have to get it up from FL somehow. But I have it none-the-less. As for "just need.... my wood stash." No issue, go ahead and send it over Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattia Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Nice, dude. Makes mine look tiny-ass by comparison, because, well, it is: http://www.xs4all.nl/~mvalente/guitarpics5/shop/newshop.jpg http://www.xs4all.nl/~mvalente/guitarpics5/shop/newshop2.jpg Most of the wood and the 'clean' work area is elsewhere, but it's mine, all mine!

verhoevenc Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ummm..... the prices of the 17" extreme bandsaw, 6" jointer, and 2HP dust collection are on the grizz. site. as for the room, materials cost $300 (sheetrock, 2x4s etc.), the lathe and 22-44 drum sander (with like a freakin' lifetime's supply of papers) I got used from a guy for the awesomely low total of like $900.... and that workbench is only $139 from harbor freight with $10 shipping!!! So yeah.... I dropped quite the pretty penny and destroyed all savings haahahaha, but if I didn't buy it now, there's no way I'd ever have the money for it after I get out of college and into the work-force... so I had to now if I ever wanted it. And I can spend HOURS in there.... WELL worth the money! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
