Jeremy Carlsten Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 If a metal worker used the space I would wrap a bar magnet with a clean rag and rub all the surfaces I could reach to pick up dust and fillings . It will get on your wood and turn black. If it gets in waterbourne finishes it will rust. You won't see it until it is already rusting under the finish. I have done a BUNCH of initial cleaning but nothing with a bar magnet good idea Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm looking forward to watching this transformation. Looks like you've got a nice space to setup shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Carlsten Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thought I might share a quick diagram so you all know what the layout is, tonight I'll snap a few pictures of my progress (although I haven't done much... need to finish that coop). If you have any ideas for a better layout of tools, feel free to let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Winter is coming? It 103* today. . Winter is a mean joke they tell to pretend it gets better. And btw, what is cold storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Carlsten Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Just a phrase I heard from the previous owner.... uninsulated storage space Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Carlsten Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Big score for the shop, my coworker stored some things for a friend and as payment he had left a bandsaw, small jointer and a radial arm saw as "payment." So my coworker was nice enough to give them to me instead of trying to sell them. I'll post pictures soon. They are going to need some tuning up but can't complain about free stuff ;) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Jeremy, at first I wanted to offer my condolences, and I mean no disrespect, but on second thought, that is pretty cool. I thought maybe it was pedal power but I see the power cord. I'm looking forward to this evolution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Carlsten Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I know... I may have to come up with some guards or something. It does look a wee bit scary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Carlsten Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Finally got this project prioritized... I may have too many hobbies... Anyway, got everything sanded, and painted. Now to remember how it all goes together.... You all can see pics as I upload them here. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B469VeNR11b7ZWZqaV9MazZlYkE&usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Carlsten Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Well I got the saw done and got the jointer working although it could use a little cleaning it's self. Plus I even cleaned up some! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 That thing is beautiful! But I'd have to build some guard before using it. Maybe with clear panels to show the innards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 That band saw is pretty darn cool but I agree, if it were ever to come into my shop, I'd be rigging up some guards. After snapping a blade two weeks ago, and seeing the blade just STOP in place rather than whipping around was enough validation for me.

gee-dub Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Its great to watch your progress. Making one wall plumb and adding multiple levels of french cleats has been an investment that has paid dividends over and over. It is so easy to rearrange and so easy to make fixtures for: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Carlsten Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Unfortunately( but also super fortunately for non shop reasons) we've moved and I lost my gigantic shop space. I do have an outbuilding but I need to get enough spare cash to lay some concrete. Right now I've taken over the back corner of the garage. Bandsaw is there just slightly outside of the picture. @Gee-dub I'm definitely going to be using French cleats in the big shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
