Nice setup.

I've still got a ways to go with mine.
I have the jam bottles for the screws though.

Mine is set up more for working on cars, but no I have retired, woodwork is preferable.
What is the circular saw?
I have a Triton work bench with saw and router tables.

I have posted some of my daughter's comicon weapons I've built.
Pretty tame stuff.
But I've made a couple of display cabinets for the wife.
Most of what I do at the moment is upgrading the house.
Walk in wardrobes, moving walls and making rooms.

I HAVE A DREAM
A WONDERFUL, PEACEFUL, BEAUTIFUL DREAM.
A DREAM OF A WORLD THAT HAS NEVER KNOWN ISLAM
A DREAM OF A WORLD FREE FROM THE HORRORS OF ISLAM.

SUCH A WONDERFUL DREAM
O HOW I WISH IT WERE TRU

Nice work Valkie. You recycled some offcuts from packing cases.

Circular saw is Ozito. Does the job well. Drop saw is Ryobi. Bewdy. Drill Press is also Ryobi.

Easy projects, but expensive Bathroom over $6000.00 materials Built in $800.00 materials But to have someone else do it, it would cost a lot more

Its a double garage Long, and wider than most. But still gets a little cramped when the wife and my cars are in it, the 4x4 does tend to take up a bit of room.

Be nice to always be able to put my hands on exactly what I want, when I want it.
I can do that with all my tools, no problem, but I have lots of bits and pieces I use.

The stuff on the table is the guts of a sewing machine.
I'm working on another project and needed a 240v motor and some gears.
The sewing machine was one that stopped working after a lightening strike up at the mother in laws place a few years ago.
She put it in for repairs and they said the motherboard was cooked, cost what a new machine was worth, so I got it for parts.

Just a question for ya.
I carry around a toolkit in my car for emergencies.
I'll bet you do as well.
Do you also carry a battery drill, impact driver and torque driver as well, is it it just me?

With Valkie's professed 'talents' he would have to carry a bootful of tools for "emergencies" with his self-serviced and self-repaired car.

One wall is just ladders of various sizes and types.

Got the benchtop delivered, arrissed it, did 3 coats of linseed oil on it. Looks lovely, very warm coloured
Working out the wood required for the frame is hard for me.
I'm not used to working in 3D, had to do my own drawings to scale. Take measurements off that.
Weird little things have cropped up, the floor is not level. Some legs have to be longer than others to make the table level.
Made sure I can mount the vice.
Will put extra legs on it for more strength.

oohh, look at these.

Hanger bolts, for mounting my vice under the bench
