'Ol Dave's South Wall Logo

The south wall in my shop is split in two halves by the entry door.  On the left side of the shop facing this south wall is where you will find my drill press, some sheet stock storage, a wall cabinet that houses stains, clear coats, thinners, etc.  Set out a bit from the left side wall is my band saw.  The band saw needs upgraded but will do fine for now.

Bans Saw along 'Ol Dave's South Shop WallThe saw is a an older model 14 inch Enco.  The saw was made available to me when my day job workplace decided to upgrade a couple of these saws.  I just recently acquired the saw and I need to fix the throat plate and guides and probably make a fence for it but other than that, it runs true and has plenty of power.

You can also see in the photo on the left (in the corner behind the saw) my Kobalt 7 drawer top and 4 drawer bottom tool chest.  The drawers all have roller bearing drawer slides which makes it real nice to open and close with the weight of all my hand tools.  My drill press is also located in this southeast corner of the shop.

You can't see it from this photo, but the entry door is just out of the above picture and to the right.
Right side south wall photo of 'Ol Dave's Woodshop
You can see the entry door in the photo on the right which is the right side of my shop's south wall.  The top cabinet on the wall stores all my woodworking magazines (I subscribe to seven different ones) and below it is another cabinet that holds some of my hand sanders and other odds & ends.  Not going to tell you what is in the fridge but you can guess if you want to. 

Until I can get the work bench built that I want, I do all my layout and assembly work on an old door resting on saw horses.  This will be the area where I will permanently place my workbench after it is built.  I only have about a dozen workbench plans and haven't decided which one to build..... maybe it will be a combination of one or more of the plans.  You can see that I have two of the smaller dovetailed drawers (2 of 5 that are going into my wife's new kitchen pantry.  I'll upload the photos of her new cabinets and the finished pantry on the Projects Page very soon............ So, keep tuned!
Porter Cable Model 4212 Dovetail Jig
I made the dovetails (in the above photo) with my Porter Cable Model 4212 Dovetail Jig shown here on the left.  I am really happy with this jig but the manual is a little bit vague in places which initially caused me to add some wood to my "bone pile".  I wrote an article that gets in to this subject a little bit and it is posted on the "Articles" page of the web site.  The router that I use with the jig is my Porter Cable Model 890 variable speed (shown on the left) which I also use in my router table.  Currently, I clamp the jig onto the bench that runs nearly full length along the east wall of my shop.  I also have a small bench top drill press on the bench that can be seen left of the jig in the left photo.

The router table mentioned above can be seen on another view of the shop on this shop tour.  That's about it for this view and I hope you can relate somehow to your shop what it is now or what it used to be.
