Here are my favorites:

1. SawStop 3HP Professional Cabinet Saw.  It's a dream tool.

2. Ridgid Oscillating Sander.

3. Kreg Master Jig with  Klamp Traks.

4. My custom outfeed table with Klamp Traks attached.

(see above)

5. My custom-built  New Yankee router station.

6. My 16" Porter-Cable Omni dovetail jig.

Geoff, would you post photos of those tools (please include the motorcycles).  The 4510 is the portable Ridgid, right?  Good tool!

i would have to say my new shop, nice to have room to work with good light and plenty of outlets, no more extension cords. as for real tools i would say my ridgid table saw, jet 22-44 drum sander and grizzly dust collector. but picking a favorite tool for me is like picking my favorite child, lol. like all my tools. cant forget my kreg jigs.

I really like that Ridgid tablesaw.  I had one that I sold to my brother....he loves it.

BTW:  I am really envious of your shop.  I had to convert my garage, unfortunately.  When it freezes overnight, I have to make room for my wife's car so she doesn't have to remove ice from the windshield!  My lot is not large enough to build a shop.

nice bike! do you guys like the ridgid occulating belt/spindle sander. looking to buy one, got a great comment from one other person, just verifing his comments.

[Geoff Simpson]

Thanks Steve.

 

I like the sander, it's not what i'd call a precision instrument though.  Takes off massive swaths of wood in no time

[steve kidd]

thats what i needed to know, thanks geoff. when the funds arrive i think i will get one, hope to get a hd discount coupon.

Yeah, ya know with Global Warming and all, we've had more freezing weather in the past few years than I can remember.  But seriously, we have had more freezing temperatures, but, it is usually freezing only until the sunrises.  So, we'll get some frost on the windshields.  It did snow three times last winter.  In the 58 years that I've been around, it's only snowed maybe 5 or 6 times until last winter.  That Global Warming is the darndest thing!
