I'll finally be non-nomadic, and I'd like to finally build up a workshop. Before I get started, I'd love to get ideas. I'd love to see how you do things, and how you do things differently with all the disciplines here: tuners, neanders, power tool users, festoolies, etc. For those of you who...

Warren Lake Today, 8:28 PMI believe that it is totally marketing hype - if you google the phrase, nothing comes up but Martin's auctions. Not even sure what it's supposed to infer...
