Permits here are extremely expensive due to the fact that we live in a 'seismic' slide zone. This means before the county will even look at your building plan, they require an engineering survey that includes core samples of the area to be built on. This can get ridiculous in terms of time...

I will never move back to the 'burbs' or city. On my must list for a property is I need to be able to pee outside without being whistled at or arrested.

I'm a bit worried about my tool collection. Space is a premium these days (garages are becoming a luxury) and as mentioned kids don't seem to have the desire to DIY like their parents. My son is starting to show interest and has a few of my hand me downs and has purchased a few tools but...

This is why I made it quickly removable to convert from woodworking to metalworking. I just finished (well almost) a quick removable woodworking table as well. Since I killed the idea of a dedicated metal and woodworking shop in new out building, I am trying to make do with metal and wood...

Still working on the drill press table but started with building a base cabinet, had to design to fit not only the tracks but also the mobile base. Tee tracks are made from hardwood... nice and snug but will slide off fairly easy if I need to drop the table extra low. Two full extension...

Thanks for the great post on dry cut saws, CB! I am looking forward to the day that I can ditch my DeWalt abrasive cut off saw for a dry cut saw. I am already a big fan of MK Morse as I use their hole saws and have a nice kit from 3/4in to 2-1/2in plus additional diameters as I have needed...

I don't know that I can say these are must haves... but Magswitch magnets are sure handy when welding up various frame structures.

Nope, no expert but sure looking forward to this new site!

Thank you, Muhammad! Way to go!

I'm here!
