h3nry Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 SInce I've just cleaned up the garage after finishing my current project, it seemed like a good time to take some photos of the workshop. It's a single-car attached townhouse garage, and about half of it gets used for woodworking - the other half is usually full of bicycles. I was lucky when I moved into the house, the previous owner had had some kind of workshop in there, and the big full-width bench and cabinets at the back were already installed. It's a compact little woodshop, but it seems to meet my needs at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Nice looking shop H3nry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I hadn't even thought about a couch in the shop, when it gets to dusty do you just flip the cushions over seriously the shop looks. great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3nry Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 The couch isn't supposed to be a permanent fixture - I'm just storing it for a friend - but I kind of like it there. Perhaps if I keep it a bit too dusty they won't want it back. It's a great place to sit and contemplate my next move while watching glue dry.

Eric. Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nice little space. Well wishes to your jointer plane...hope she gets better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I like the bench as well it looks very handy especially the pipe clamp vise maybe my next bench I'll do that on the sides instead of buying a another clamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nateswoodworks Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Looks nice, everything has a place-I'm the same way. Also like the floor, we have the same thing in our basement, ours are handmade from the mid 1800's and set in sand which makes washing the floor a breeze as it dries quick and absorbs into the ground, I just curious is your the same?

h3nry Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks guys. The pipe-clamp front vice works really well on larger pieces, but racks horribly with small pieces that don't extend down as far as the pipes. The tail vice is the Veritas inset vice, which was super easy to install and use. I'm afraid the flooring is nothing as nice as hand-made 1800's - it's some kind of 1970's synthetics, but is so much nicer than just bare concrete. Eric - I think I missed your joke about my Jointer plane? It's actually the best bench-plane on the shelf being a pre-war Bailey while the others are all Groz.

Eric. Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Looks like it's got a broken tote, no? That's what I was talking about. Maybe it's just the pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good eye ... there is a chip off the top of the tote - it's still comfy in the hand though - but after 80 years of service that's its only battle scar.

Eric. Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 LN planes are basically replicas of the old Stanleys...wonder if one of their totes would fit on yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
