Hi everyone!
I’ll be getting a woodworking shop built soon, (sooo excited!!) and I want to know your favorite idea or tip for setting up a wood shop. Storage, benches, power tools, safety… you name it!!
Thanks:)

My wife’s grandmother cleaned out the garage. She gave me several antique carpentry tools. Some will be polished and hung on the wall. Others, like this Craftsmen lathe, I want to play with.

I have no clue how to even begin with this thing. Unfortunately, Grandpa passed on many years ago, so no help there. Any websites or tips from personal experience are welcomed and appreciated.

I’m a carpenter by trade. I am not completely ignorant about woodworking. But a lathe is one toy I have never played with.

I bought a Legacy Ornamenatal Mill. I would like to start a club for people with the same model. The company will not share the contact info of their customers. I don’t know how to find others with this tool. If I could we could share tips and tricks. It is a hard tool to learn to use.
