Bessey Varioclippex or something like that. I picked up mine at Home Depot or Lowe’s for about four dollars each but that was years ago. I have about a dozen of the 4” and they’re very handy. I try to couple of the 2” but they are really a bit too gentle for anything that I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made progress on the wall next to the tool cabinet this morning. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legenddc Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Is that a car subwoofer in the corner of your shop? Nice progress, especially considering the restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted September 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Thanks guys. Yes that is an old car sub-woofer. It has been looking for a purpose in life ever since I got rid of the car it was installed in. It now provides the low, low end for the shop tunes. A little more progress this morning :-) Seems like a workbench out to be standing there… Oh yeah, that is where it goes. It’s taking so long I almost forgot :-) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Baby steps . . . the hydraulic table has already paid for itself in the past. It is way ahead now ;-) With the DP Wall Cab in the new shop I updated the build thread (bottom of the linked page) if anyone is interested or missed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted September 18, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Got help to dolly the DP into the shop. the rest can be moved in small pieces so I'm good with that. One more piece of the puzzle done . . . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 @gee-dub, when you moved your equipment out of your previous workshop did you do it yourself or hire professionals? And where has your stuff been stored while your new man-castle has been being built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lumber got moved a couple of times; that was no fun either time. As to storage, this was a sore spot for a long time but I have gotten over it . The delay of the shop caused a reverse domino effect delaying work in the backyard and some home remodeling. My machines, tools and materials have been in one of three outbuildings on the property, in a large trailer on the property and in the 3 car garage. With the shop near-done I am moving what I can from everywhere . So much stuff has been inaccessible for so long, every day has started to feel like Christmas. I have lost count of how many times I have said "there that is!" and "I knew I had that!" in the last week. I hope to get the all clear (weight limit on lifting following minor eye surgery) this coming week so we can move the big stuff in. Things should move rapidly toward making sawdust after that 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted September 19, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Got the drum sander in. It is surprising how much abrasives weigh if you get enough of them in a small footprint. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan McCully Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Really like how you put the drum sander up on a storage cart for your abrasives. I’ve never seen anyone do that. Will have to remember that for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted September 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 @Jonathan McCully Thanks. The cabinet has huge amounts of storage and is still smaller than the sander's footprint. I have had the infeed and outfeed tables since day one and my edge sander belts fit under the overhang on short sections of PVC pipe. With the exception of my spindles and discs, which store in the modified spindle/disc base. . . . . . all of my abrasives are in the drum sander base. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby W Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I like the way you modified the base. With sanders, it is amazing how much paraphernalia you accumulate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
