Finally have a shop

[Kyle Stiefel]

Hello,

I have been a browser of this site for a long time but this is my first post. I just finally returned from overseas military duty and have put together my shop. The stuff has been collecting in a garage back home as it went on sale. I am just waiting my my 20 and 30 amp twist lock plugs and I can start making dust. I will go pick up a load of rough sewn wood tommorow for my first project use. I have always enjoyed coming to this sight and have learned many things reading others posts. I look forward to actually participating in the fun now. I have attached a few pictures of my new oasis.

Thanks,
Kyle

Welcome Kyle! Looks like you have a nice place to work and some good equipment. If you give me some specifics about dimensions, ceiling height, and location I will add your shop to the summary thread on SMC members shop characteristics.

By the way, we all use our full surnames at this forum. Please change your profile to provide yours.

Kyle, congratulations on getting your own place to make the dust fly! But then, with a dust collection system, well, not that much should fly, but at least the projects should start to hum out of the shop. I know when my shop was up and running, it was one of the happier days. Enjoy!

[Don Abele]

Kyle, welcome aboard SMC. We look forward to seeing the projects that come out of your well equiped shop.

Let me be the first here to thank you for your service to our wonderful country. Welcome back to the states.

Be well,

Kyle....Welcome to the 'Creek! Nice looking shop! Thank you for serving this country. We will always be indebted to you! Again....Welcome!

[John Miliunas]

Welcome to the Creek, Kyle! :) I see you already have the picture thing down solid, so I won't even go into that! :D Looks like you've got yourself a mighty fine shop, as well. I note the "Woodsucker". Great unit, but I'd really consider doing some enclosure around it to muffle the noise a bit. The thing is LOUD! :rolleyes: At any rate, you've found a great place to hang out and share tips, info, questions, gloats and just about anything else one can think of! Stop often and stay long! :cool:

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Nice shop Kyle...I see a few nice machines as well...we look forward to your posts!

[Jim Becker]

Kyle, welcome to SMC and more importanly, welcome back to your "new oasis". (Thanks for your service) The shop looks great and you're going to really enjoy making that lumber into whatever the wood tells you it wants to be!

BTW, relative to Franks's comment about getting your last name added, you'll need to contact Jackie Outten to get that taken care of administratively.

[Dennis Peacock]

John,

Thanks for the input. The enclosure I am actually starting tommorow. I just got up here 2 1/2 weeks ago and had to repaint the whole inside of my new (to me) house and put the shop together. I would really like to raise the garage door by 2 panels and build something outside the garage and plumb it through. I will complete this once the money tree I planted in the front yard comes through for me.

Frank,

I read through the information and ONLY the administrator has the power to change a persons user name. I let them know so I assume they will take care of it.

Thanks,

Nice shop setup (I'm green with envy) and thank you for your service to our country. Look forward to seeing some of your project work. Cheers, Roger

[Rob Russell]

Kyle,

Welcome to SMC and back to the US. Do yourself a favor and keep your shop that neat. One it gets messy it takes a LOT of work to clean it back up.

Rob

[Michael Stafford]

Nice shop and welcome home. Thanks for your service. Rob is right, I once had a nice clean organized shop- about 20 years ago. Once I started working in it I filled it up and it has never been the same.

[Waymon Campbell]

Kyle - Nice shop and first post. Welcome to the 'Creek. I see you're a Griz man...well, so am I.

As the others have said, thank you so much for your service to this great nation.

Sorry, I should have known that. :(

Looking forward to pictures of the work that you do in the shop. :)

Also, please send me the requested dimension and other characteristics.
