RE: My shop with photos - brnhornt - 04-24-2017 Looks great! Thanks for sharing! RE: My shop with photos - Dave Diaman - 04-24-2017 Tom, I build 40-50 pieces a year but unfortunately none of them are to keep. I have been chipping away at a kitchen renovation for the last year though and my wife is on me about finishing that. Of course eating has always been more important for some reason ? RE: My shop with photos - Stwood_ - 04-24-2017 Moving that stuff down a set of stairs is just pure punishment. RE: My shop with photos - Dave Diaman - 04-25-2017 It wasn't nearly as bad as you might think. We moved everything into the shop in one afternoon. The hardest part was walking up and down the ramp. I need to put some grip tape on it. I recently moved my 5 hp shaper and 5 hp tablesaw into the shop by myself without any real difficulty. The winch and dolly set up makes getting things in and out a snap. You would be amazed if you had seen some of the pieces of furniture I took up the steps on the dolly by myself. RE: My shop with photos - ®smpr_fi_mac® - 04-25-2017 Man, now I want to come visit again and see your new shop! RE: My shop with photos - BloomingtonMike - 04-25-2017 Looks great and really nicely outfitted! Be careful doing all that yourself! That family needs ya healthy. Great looking "helpers"! RE: My shop with photos - Dave Diaman - 04-25-2017 Mike, I'm not to proud to ask for help. If I have anything that requires really heavy lifting I will wait for my apprentice or have a friend come help. In general I can handle most things though. In my former life before kids I was a competitive power lifter and bodybuilder. While I'm not as strong as I once was I am still in pretty good shape. I guess lugging around power tools and lumber helps out RE: My shop with photos - TomFromStLouis - 04-25-2017 Thanks for sharing that Dave. Busy as you are I know it took some time to put together and we appreciate the tour. It will be extra nice to have all the lumber on site. RE: My shop with photos - Dave Diaman - 04-25-2017 The biggest reason I want to get the rest of my wood onsite is so I can get rid of the storage fee. For the most part my storage unit has been air dried and needs to go to the kiln or overflow wood that I bought in bulk. All the wood that I use the most stays in my wood rack at my shop. I always have plenty of tiger maple, curly cherry and poplar in it. RE: My shop with photos - appletonrc - 04-25-2017 I love the plywood/winch combo on the stairs. I don't know how many times I've dolly'ed something stair by stair where rolling would have been so much easier. |
