OT: Wiring a shop

I just expanded my shop (due to a large increase in tools - my parents split up after 30+ years and I got everything in Dad's shop) and I am redoing the wiring.

2 Bench Shop Model

I updated my SketchUp vision of my workshop tonight to include two workbenches. I grew up using a machinist's vise and I have one ready to install. The main point I was thinking about when I drew this was a 2nd bench. If anyone is curious, here's a link. http://web.newsguy.com/MySite/I feel ...

Shop made tenoning jig

I've been needing a tenoning jig and was going to order the one on sale at Rockler for $69.99 but had a flash of inspiration and decided to see what scrap materials I had lying around the shop. I found some 3/4" hard maple that was straight along the long grain and only slightly cupped.

The $4K Wood Shop

Shop Fox W1677 TS

Anybody else have this saw? I've had mine for a month and have mixed feeling about it. Going from a home-built TS, it's my first real saw and thus luxurious in many ways. It is tremendously satisfying to make cuts with. It was not set-up out of the box. I was able to set the blade to
