Looks nice. I like your table saw setup.
Santa just brought me a new 2 post lift and a big air compressor. That will keep me busy for a while.

To keep with the theme, do you wear roller skates when working in the shop?

Seriously, very nice work and nice tools.

Like the out feed table, noticed it is on wheels, is it bolted to the table saw? Been debating on how to do that, trying to come up with an easy way to rip MDF its so bloody heavy.

The out feed table isn't bolted to the saw. They are separate. My solution for cutting MDF is something different. I will try explain it here. It starts with 2 saw horses. Then I have 6 pieces of 3/4" plywood. 3 pieces are 4ft long and 3 pieces are 8ft long. All pieces are 6" wide and have slots cut halfway through. 2 of the pieces sit on top of each saw horse. Then the 3 long pieces are interlocked with these 2. The third short piece is used at the middle to prevent wobble in the center section.

I have tried to include a picture so you can see what I am trying to explain.

The best part of this is that it breaks down into a small bundle for storage.

Is that a Walker Turner drill press?

Yep, 15", bought at an auction over 30 years ago. Spindle speed was too fast for metal work, so I added a reduction pulley.

Do you have one?

 

[Walkin Horse]

Yes I have one just like it. I have had it 20 or 25 years. I have been lucky with my belt. Never had to replace it. But I have always wondered how you get a new belt on the front spindle.

Looks like you would have to remove the spindle.

Really nice shop! How do you heat it?

 

[NewfieDan]

The heater is the white box mounted in the ceiling above the work bench. It's a 240v heater hooked up to a thermostat. When I am not using the shop I keep it about 10C. This keeps it warm enough that I don't have to worry about condensation on the tools. Whe I am out there doing something I turn the heat up to somewhere around 18-20C.

either it doesn't get that cold where u are or your shop is super insulated.

No way that little heater could heat my shop in minus 30 weather
