    LOL...that's what a very wide angle lens does to a photo. They are normal, flat bottomed trusses.

    That's the support table for my TrueTrac slab flattening system but also gets used with the tracksaw for, um...tracksawing ...and for clamping/assembling when convenient. Right now, I have the support for spraying finish on a guitar body fastened to it. It breaks down into three pieces if I need it out of the way, not including the Kreg Sawhorses. (I may get less expensive horses to park under the support table so I can use the blue ones more constructively in my shop and home)

    Just finished a turntable cabinet for my son and cleaned the shop, so I decided it was a good time to post
    Overall very happy with the workflow. It has been evolving for the last 3 years but I think I've nailed down what works best for me.

    Nice shop, mine has never been that clean and won't be until all tools and equipment is gone. Very good job taking care of your shop. How do the two different dust collectors compare?

    The two don’t really compare. The Oneida is super powerful on 4” tools and equally so with the 2.5” hose I use to sweep the floors and tools. It was more expensive though so I guess you get what you pay for here. That said, the Rockler is a great DC that does the job for the CNC and drill press. With a CNC that can spend a couple of hours on a carve I prefer to have the wear and tear on the Rockler.

    I figured I would post some pics of the shop, just got fully under power 3 weeks ago and waiting for glue to dry at the moment. It has been a 4 year process and fully under power but waiting for a 400 amp meter head that dumps 200 to house and 200 to shop/garage. Apparently the one my utililty company desires has been on back order over 2 years.

    This has been life long dream moving from a smaller garage shop previously and then sold all the big tools while traveling with the service and job training. Trying to make a few kid kitchen stools at the moment. My wife and I had our second last Mar, a son who will hopefully make the sawdust some day. He will grow old with us, he has Down's and had a rough start to life. A few families watched our daughter while my wife didn't leave the hospital for 6 weeks straight, absolutely amazing. So I am making each of their families one, they each have 4 kids with the youngest being 3 weeks old. I will keep one for the house here, the one with the most errors of course. I was hoping to have them done by christmas but time ran short. Next project will be a roubo bench that I have always desired. Couldn't be more pleased with how everything came out in the shop. Sorry for the rotated pics, I have given up trying to figure out how to rotate them on the site.

    Kyle, that is a beautiful shop space. I love a timber frame building. Any pictures of the outside you could share? Awesome tool setup too! Congratulations!

    Thanks. The retaining wall was done by the prior guy here as he had plans for a garage/mother in law suite that would attach to the house. For simplicity I chose to have the garage/shop detached.
