This is the space I'm working with, and the upstairs is just as big...
Thinking I may put all the woodshop stuff upstairs and have this space as vehicle work and have all the metal fab and welding stuff down here.
So let's see some workbench and shop pics.

Mine's still under construction. Big chunk of bowling alley laying in the middle of the floor. Crap everywhere. It's embarassing. You don't want to see it right now.
Did you see the pic I attached?!?! My dad was worse than I am with cleaning a work area, he never threw anything out and would just as soon by a 2nd or 5th tool instead of try to find the 1st one.
I have a whole grade school parquet gym floor, in 8 barrels, behind the black tool chests on the left... Whatever glue they used to install it, pulled chunks of the concrete up with it when they removed it.... They were going to the dumpster with it, my dad thought that was a waste. :banghead:

I may post a pic when bow season is over and I can pick stuff up a bit.

I'll be calling you after January Kenny. Our bow season is done then, and I should have some idea of what I all need by then. I have a 24" drum sander, so I'd like to get some taper sleds.
Also, could I take your original 62/64 pattern and add 1" like you did? Or should I order a new pattern?

I have a small shop and I do all my dirty work outside which is about 90% of making a bow... So I like a lot of things on wheels... Here are some things that may benefit you... A rolling work station with all your small go-to tools on it and put misc. stuff like rags and such on it to keep clutter off the work table... Make sure you use big sturdy wheels so it is easy to roll around... Once you find a happy place for it you may keep it in one spot...
A work bench with a perfectly flat surface... I used a 36" exterior door slab... They are pretty damn flat... And I built a frame under it and trued it up with some wedges... I installed a bow stringing device at the end of the table... Very handy...

I do have a handful of those old solid wood table tops from a school or something. And I used an old solid door and lower cabinets (back to back) on a wheeled cart for a bench in another shop that has turned into a storage top... Need to clean that up and see if I can utilize it...that one is 3 cabinets and drawers in each side, overhang on one end with some pegboard on each end, and I worked up outlets on each end and a long extension cord to plug it in.
For that bow stringer do you pull up or push down the top limb?

Yep, you can . Just draw the new curve. Then bend something like a pc of glass around curve and where it starts to be sure no bumps or dips...

I want to build a doorway and deck off the 2nd story, as that would look down on the 50yd archery range on the north side. :shaka:

I have a twin bag collector in back of barn. I moved it out of shop cuz it sounds like a jet plane. Think it’s 5 hp
Haha. And you don't have to worry about a filter for the fine particles that get through the bag.

Here’s a real mess. The result of two years of spending too much time at work and not enough in the shop. I’m waiting for a warm weekend so I can clean it out. :)

That looks more familiar to me. :biglaugh:
Guess it’s been awhile since I’ve stopped to see ya, since we had beers last time I was there. I’m gonna have to find a good excuse to get over that way.
I’d post pics of my shop.....if I had one. Some work is done in the garage, some in the basement, some in the building at work. Hell, some is done in the driveway. :biglaugh:

I’m not sure I could function in a clean shop with everything put in its place.
Good for you Roy! It’s been almost 17 years with no beers for me. Don’t miss it even a little!
