New Tool gloat and Shop Pics

[Eric Stiles]

Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to the creek, but I love it here. I've been woodworking for about a year now. Right now I have more tools than I have skill but I'm hoping to remedy that. The Grizzly G0513X is the newest addition to the shop. I just got it hooked up tonight and I must say that so far it is great. However, I did find out that my breaker box is made by Federal Pacific and that they're responsible for more fires than zippo. Anyway, here is a picture of my new baby and a few extras of my shop. Thanks for making the creek a great place to be.

Looks like you've got a fine array of machines there. Glad you're enjoying the hobby and Welcome aboard.

P.s. what make is the radial DP and how do you like it?

Glen I think it the same as this one & their pretty good Drill Presses.

But you just gotta add some good lighting I hate working in the dark.:eek: :D

It's the Harbor Freight model. I opted for it a while back when I was making some marbles game boards as a gifts. The tolerance on it isn't great. Bigger drill bits will sometimes deflect slightly as I enter the wood. However, It's fairly easy to compensate for if your careful. It has done a lot of work over the past 3 years though so I can't complain too much. Definately got my money out of it.

Well Eric, From the looks of things, you don't have a favorite tool company. You have one from just about everyone. Thanks for the tour.
