The Work Shop and Home of the Kubota
on the left side. The Shop is 24x26 ft. and
the Kubota home is 12x20. Originally planed
on a 30x40 shop, that is before I found out the
cost. I had to scale back to fit the budget,
big mistake, should have made it as planned.
I don't have room to assemble the projects as a
lot of my projects are large

Delta Unisaw with 36 inch Rails |

Delta 10 in. Unisaw. I looked
for several months before finding a shop that was
going out of business. The saw was only 4
years old and had not been used much. This was time
well spent, this saw is a dream to operate and cut
through hardwoods like butter

Woodmaster drum sander, 26 inch. I purchased this
used and it is several years old but works well
Yes,
that is a Radial Arm Saw form Sears, last of my older
tools. I do find the saw useful and would always
have a Radial Arm Saw, I would prefer a 12 inch

Router Table with 31/2 hp VS Porter-Cable
router. The table was build from Norm's NY project
plans. The top was made from a modular office
desk 1 1/2 in thick covered with Formica

Dewalt Planner. This planner
had been a workhorse in the shop. I have a
saw mill in town and have bought a ton of ruff sawn
lumber form them.
6 Inch Jet Jointer. This tool
is used on all most all projects. If you don't
have a jointer I don't see how you can work with
twisted material. That is my biggest use for
this tool, flattening wood before running though
the planner
Roll Around Lumber Rack. Fills
up real quick. The back side holds sheet goods
that lean out and are supported by arms that pivot
out, works real well in holding a lot of material.

The shop hutch is along the right hand wall built around
the window air-conditioning unit. This was patterned
off the shop hutch Norm built on The New Yankee Workshop.
This unit is longer and with more drawers.

Jet 2 hp Chip collector,
notice I didn't saw dust collector. If you seen
my shop you would know why. This was my biggest
mistake in setting up the shop. I thought all
you needed to do was run some 4" PVC under the concrete
floor and you were all set., wrong. If you are
thinking of setting up a dust collector please learn
all you can from the experts about pipe sizing and air
flow
Dewalt Compound Miter
Saw with Woodworkers II blade. I have not
used this as much as others have, thinking of moving
out of the shop. I get better control of miters
on the table saw.

Shop heater made by Modine,
I purchased this used from a farmer for $100.00 and
thought I got a bargain; it took another $300 to convert
to propane gas and for installation pipe and flue.
Work Bench, inspired by
Norm's design, top is white tile board, easy to wipe
off and cheep. If you look under the bench you
will see a Pattern Makers Vice that was planned for
this bench, I forgot the overhang on the left end to
accommodate the vice, been under there since
