A good craftsman needs a good workspace.  Therefore, I decided to upgrade my table saw and router table to a single unit.  This so much better to work on now, albeit - huge.  The base is one inch fir plywood and the doors fir and pecky cypress.

  "I have too much shop space", said no craftsman ever.  So, after research a plethora of plans and ideas for a flippable tool station, I came up with this gem.  My planer and jointer fit quite nicely and take up a little more than 4 sq. ft.  The beds are modular for those extra-long planks.

Some of my turning projects.  The last two are made from black olive wood.  The turning tools are eucalyptus, unknown and sapele.

One day I'm trying, in vain, to chop up some black olive.  Apparently, it was harder than my axe's hickory handle.  Once again, the spokeshave to the rescue.  The handle is made from laminated ash.  Good enough for baseball bats, good enough for me.

Nice tools need nice homes.  I made the top image's boxes from leftover wenge veneer plywood with cherry splines to reinforce the miter joints.  The box below right is made from poplar and bubinga for the top.

I found this wheelbarrow in the trash on a run to Shell Lumber one day.  It was in sad, sad shape.  After busting much rust, like a good deck ape, it cleaned up real nice.  I remade the handles with pressure treated lumber.  First time I really got to use my spokeshave as intended.

My first attempt at cabinet making.  The doors were easy, but the carcass was a royal pain.  Made of verona plywood, fir doors and brass door handles.

My Dad always said if you can't find it, make it.  The sharpening systems for my lathe tools are ridiculously pricey.  Therefore, I made my own thanks to a nice man from Australia who posted plans for free on the old interweb.
