WorkbenchThe workbench I designed and made as my final project in Advanced Wood Technology in college.
Glue up on my work bench
Clamp Rack
Mobile Tool CartAll of the tools that make a lot of dust live of this cart. I roll it on the front porch when I need to use them for more than a minute or two.
Roll of paper for messy projects ready to goWhen I do glue ups, finishes, or paint projects, I can unroll this paper to cover my workbench then toss it when I am finished.
Building a mid-century modern coffee tableThis is a mid-century modern coffee table I designed and built for the AGB Museum of Art using remnants of old red oak salvaged from the galleries after they were remodeled. A glass top goes on top.
Barn door I made from old palletsAfter making this barn door from old pallets, I 3D printed logos from my favorite tool brands that I use to decorate it.
Main work spaceThis is my primary work area. I stand right in front of my bench and to the right of the photo is my hand held power tools. To the left hang my hand tools. The bins contain screws, nails and other fasteners.
Handheld power tool cabinetThe big saw at the top has a blade 16 ¼ inch in diameter, with a normal 7 ¼ inch circular saw to the left of it for scale.
Stationary power toolsThis is my stationary power tools. Since this photo was taken, I have upgraded the jointer from a 6 inch to a 12 inch wide model. The dust collector now has a manifold system to choose which power tool the suction is going to. The only thing I don’t have is a CNC machine, but I have plans to add one in the future.

View from my front doorWhen you walk in my front door into the living room, this is what you are greeted with. The box on the ceiling is an air cleaner made by General that removes fine dust from the air.
My sharpening stationThis is where my oven used to be. I decided I needed a tool cabinet and sharpening station more, so I got rid of the oven.
3D printer in my laundry room
Wood lathe
Welding stationMy welding station is beside the back door so I can open the back door and let fresh air in. I also made a fume extractor. The walls and floors are covered with fire blankets.
