Sandpaper and a commode in the same place? Sounds pretty rough to me!

Doubles as a tiolet paper holder, I wonder how Fine Woodworking would rate that!

I have to admire your ingenuity Hesh!

I'm happy for you Hesh, you do deserve the best for your dedication!

Way to go my friend!

Serge

Very nice.

I'd hate to see what happens in a pinch when you realy have to get to the throne though. That would be a tight fit through the go-bar deck.

You rock Hesh.

Where there's a will there's a way...

Fantastic use of limited space and nice saw too.

Congratz!

Hesh thats a great looking saw, I'm with Surge, given the standard of work that you and Ann can accomplish together in such a confined space, you certainly do deserve good tools.

When space is at a premium, there is just no room for rubbish.

Cheers

Kim

Hesh, i'm with Kimmy , in a tiny space like yours, you have to be a Surge-on to turn the place into a spa!

Wow. That is indeed impressive.

Y'know, with that shop, you're exactly my kind of crazy. Rockin'!

Very nice Hesh. I'd bet one of the woodwoking mags. would like to do an article on that shop. Maybe Guitar Maker. Is that a new after market fence I see in box next to the saw?

Hesh, You're not married, are you?

Hesh I recognized the box. I have that Kreg fence on my 16" Jet which I use for general bandsaw stuff. I have to say the Jet is the quietest smoothing running saw I have used to date. The fence is great too. You'll really like it

You could remove the Tub to get the drum sander in and just have a shower

Hows the humidity when you have a bath

Outstanding!

Hesh, you are my hero!! "Bathroom Lutherie" great article for Better Homes and Garden....

Seriously how do you manage the noise issue with your neighbours?

Talk about using what space is on hand! You are a true inspiration. Nice bandsaw, too!

hesh I have the same saw. Let me recommend one thing... Woodslicer resaw blades from Highland hardware. I use the 1/2" one. I had three or four of the olson Pro and they did not compare at all to the woodslicer. I bairly have any cleanup of the wood face and in softwoods, maple and walnut so far zero saw drift. Hook your vac up to the port and it does a fair job of keeping your air clean. One complaint...the blade tension knob is too low and close to the back of the unit. Hard to crank, I am looking into an extension to raise it 1 or 2 inches. Then it will be great...

I've got a Jet also...for about a month now. I picked it up used, but it's in like new condition. It's the 14" model, and it came w/ a few accessories (riser, fence, & mitre). It had a 4 tooth 3/4" Blade on it that was OK for the big stuff, but I don't think the guy had it setup right. It was noisey as heck. So this past weekend I also picked up a Timber Wolf 1/4" 10 tooth blade, set it all up w/ some cool-blocks and now she runs real quiet & smooth. I am just about ready to cut the profiles for the top & back, and the 4 tooth one looked a little gnarly for the job. Now, all I have to do is get 'my bathroon' all set up!
