Sandpaper and a commode in the same place? Sounds pretty rough to me!

Doubles as a tiolet paper holder, I wonder how Fine Woodworking would rate that! 
I have to admire your ingenuity Hesh! Shane |

Congratulations on such a nice saw. You'll get a lot of mileage out of that baby. |

Very nice. I'd hate to see what happens in a pinch when you realy have to get to the throne though. That would be a tight fit through the go-bar deck. You rock Hesh.

Where there's a will there's a way... Fantastic use of limited space and nice saw too. Congratz! |

Hesh thats a great looking saw, I'm with Surge, given the standard of work that you and Ann can accomplish together in such a confined space, you certainly do deserve good tools. When space is at a premium, there is just no room for rubbish. Cheers Kim |

Hesh, i'm with Kimmy , in a tiny space like yours, you have to be a Surge-on to turn the place into a spa!

Very nice Hesh. I'd bet one of the woodwoking mags. would like to do an article on that shop. Maybe Guitar Maker. Is that a new after market fence I see in box next to the saw? |

Hesh I recognized the box. I have that Kreg fence on my 16" Jet which I use for general bandsaw stuff. I have to say the Jet is the quietest smoothing running saw I have used to date. The fence is great too. You'll really like it |

You could remove the Tub to get the drum sander in and just have a shower 
Hows the humidity when you have a bath

Talk about using what space is on hand! You are a true inspiration. Nice bandsaw, too! |

hesh I have the same saw. Let me recommend one thing... Woodslicer resaw blades from Highland hardware. I use the 1/2" one. I had three or four of the olson Pro and they did not compare at all to the woodslicer. I bairly have any cleanup of the wood face and in softwoods, maple and walnut so far zero saw drift. Hook your vac up to the port and it does a fair job of keeping your air clean. One complaint...the blade tension knob is too low and close to the back of the unit. Hard to crank, I am looking into an extension to raise it 1 or 2 inches. Then it will be great... |

I've got a Jet also...for about a month now. I picked it up used, but it's in like new condition. It's the 14" model, and it came w/ a few accessories (riser, fence, & mitre). It had a 4 tooth 3/4" Blade on it that was OK for the big stuff, but I don't think the guy had it setup right. It was noisey as heck. So this past weekend I also picked up a Timber Wolf 1/4" 10 tooth blade, set it all up w/ some cool-blocks and now she runs real quiet & smooth. I am just about ready to cut the profiles for the top & back, and the 4 tooth one looked a little gnarly for the job. Now, all I have to do is get 'my bathroon' all set up! |
