I don't have a shop. Hard to get any smaller than that. Everything from the house and basement shop are crammed into two 20' long shipping containers. Hopefully they go into the house and shop by next fall.

My shop is 8X14 and occupies about 1/3 of my garage. Pen turning stuff is in the shop. Rest of assorted equipment is scattered in the rest of the garage wherever there is room. Metal working equipment is in the basement along with my clock shop.

How do you like your Skil band saw?

I have 1/2 of a 8x10 shed as my shop.

I work in a 10 x 10 bedroom. Has big Hawk scroll saw, vacuum chamber and pump, drill press, lathe, 12" disk sander, Pegboard on the wall for hand tools, 3 tables and 2 upright tool chests with a Jet shop dust collection system, and all my wood and kits. I have to go outside to change my mind but it is functional.

Ernie, the Skil saw is working ok, I changed out the blade to an Olsen and the cuts are spot on, I'm having a problem cutting the blank length wise when using a fence, overall I'm pleased with the saw for the money. The PVC ducting works real well except that it will plug up on the lathe using acrylic, I can live with that for now, cut my mess down by 90% so I'm happy. In that small space it didn't take long to get dust and dirt on everything. Have a Merry Christmas

I assume those are ball valves on the pvc tubing - is that correct? That's a very clever idea which I have not seen anywhere. You should get almost zero leakage that way.

Yes, they work good but a little stiff but should loosen up. Everything is dry fit so everything is movable.

No bandsaw or table saw?

Actually, the sides extend out on each side of the lathe. The right has enough room to hold my 9" Ryobi band saw (junk). The left side has my 8" grinder (that you can see in the photo) and another 6" grinder converted to a buffing station. Under those is my dad's old 1950's Craftsman table saw that slides under and just fits under the bench top.
