Small Shop Tribute – Shop Tour

This week’s shop comes from Pierre-Alexandre who says:Ã?  “Hi Marc, here is my tribute to the small shops. I share my shop with my wife’s car and my bike so every thing must fold away and when I want to produce some sawdust, the same ritual applies:Ã?  Get the car out, put the rolling table saw, get the saw horses and the top of my assembly-toolrest-router-outfeed table. My shopvac and compressor sit under my “workbench” and the little fan is my air supply system for the very hot Florida summers,Ã?  I’ve covered the walls with shelves but I always need more space!”

Setting up the shop : 1/2 hour
Cleaning the garage and putting the car back : 1h
One hour or two of sanding/sawing after work : priceless

    It’s actually part of the table saw, Bosch call it the gravity stand and I have to admit it works just great. Basically you roll the saw on the two wheels, lean it on the front, unlock the mechanism and when to lean the table back to you, the weight of it will unfold the stand and place the table horizontal.
    I was first afraid of the vibrations during the cut with such a stand but it works great and I can store my table saw in the space of a dryer (see second picture).

    Thanks for looking,

    Pierre

    I see you’ve begun working on the Dayton 3 speakers. Nice choice. I have built a pair myself and just have them hooked up now. I cannot seem to find the time to paint them.
