ChrisLBren got a reaction from dgbot in Power Tools for a Fully Framed Build December 19, 2016

Look what showed up last night - these tools are so well crafted and balanced - can't wait to get them sharpened/honed

Thanks for the lively discussion here - a bit of an update - I bought 2 tables from Home Depot for 200 a piece - I like them because they are on wheels/mobile and are height adjustable - perfect for my Jim Brynes tools - since I typically stand while using them.

Im buying this desk as my main workstation

https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-1222-SMAP/Packing-Tables/Packing-Table-96-x-36-Maple-Top-with-Square-Edge

My dust collection system - again thinking mobile is best - waiting for the holiday sales to purchase these

And hung from the ceiling

Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone - here are pics of the shop finished. They installed 4 bars of lights on two panels - the lightening is terrific. Again - Im trashing that desk, and will be bringing one that is height adjustable. Im running another work bench with all of the major dust makers and still deciding on dust retrieval - you given me some great ideas. Rockler sales will be good for equipment thru the end of the year.

Thanks for the feedback everyone - here are some progress photos - should be done by Wednesday (I used left over Benjamin Moore Paint Revere Pewter Paint from our living room rehab). The drop ceiling and lighting will be installed tomorrow. I could have the contractors drill a hole in either wall on the HVAC side or the Water Heater side for hoses to install the dust collection/shop vac system away from the shop behind the doors. Would that make sense ? Also do I need a ceiling mounted unit to clean the air as well ?

Thanks for the feedback everyone - here are some progress photos - should be done by Wednesday (I used left over Benjamin Moore Paint Revere Pewter Paint from our living room rehab). The drop ceiling and lighting will be installed tomorrow. I could have the contractors drill a hole in either wall on the HVAC side or the Water Heater side for hoses to install the dust collection/shop vac system away from the shop behind the doors. Would that make sense ? Also do I need a ceiling mounted unit to clean the air as well ?
