Dutchman Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 matusalem posted some pics of a teak hatch he was making (a beauty too i might add). Me being the gearhead I am was looking at the tools and the workshop. Ok lets post em. Pictures or a description of of your sweatshops and what you use to make your pyracy fettish happen. Tools, sewing machines, forges, what have you. I guess I'll have to overcome my figure out how to post a pic fear this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matusalem Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My place is a real mess right now, as my teak grating photos show in the other post. You can see scraps from flooring in the corner. However, I have built my basement shop *specifically* to make furniture. I am a wood guy, as well as a modelmaker. We industrial designers need places to prototype stuff. My arsenal is as follows: 5X8 worktable with two 4-box power outlets...single most valuable shop thing I own, allows me to make fake pirate shoes, weapons, etc. two 4X6 workbench, one with a very large vise floor standing drill press router & table Bandsaw table saw combo belt & disc sander air compressor with 20 gallon tank paint spray gun fiberglass layup tools &chemicals (...modern boatmaking stuff) 4 ft wood-bending setup using 6-inch dia pvc pipe, a propane camp stove & kettle, though now I discovered the steam has now permantnly kinked my pipes various hand held tools: 4-inch grinder, sawzall, drills, belt and 4x4 sanders, clamps, etc. ...and a boatload of antique tools acquired from my great grandfather such as these drawknives (a.k.a. spokeshaves) though, I may say Islandcutter has one on us all...he has a computerized CNC router table that's like 5 ft by 10ft .

Misson Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm not meaning to cast aspersions on this fine thread idea, but it has been brought up before in the Beyond forum.
