Pull little poker chip trays. Now under the assembly table I got a few handy features I got my Air Compressor, just a little guy and I got this retractable air hose. You can press there in a wood working shop is indispensable you definitely to have some sort of compressed air. I also have a little handy roll of brown paper, so If I am doing anything on the assembly table and I need to protect the surface just pull this over side, cut it, tape it down and it is ready to go.
On the East wall, the shop is pretty much to finish storage preparation area. I got a nice metal cabinet that has all my flammables or most of my flammables and lockers in there is not approved but I would render stuff be in the middle of a cabinet then inside a part of board cabinet. As we move over, I actually have a nice wide from top here. We start mixing finishes and you know dyes, and pigment some things like that, it gets messy and you want to make sure whatever surface your working on is either irreplaceable, you know easy to clean or you just do not care about it because it is going to get messy and you are never going to get a perfectly cleaned. So I got some good organization my respirator, my work tunes, head phones these are awesome some, of my spray stuff is over here but you definitely need a nice wide surface to get something like that done.
Next to the finishing area I have a work shop, Hodge(ph) that I actually just built it is pretty basic, the primary function is sandpaper storage, small parts storage, you can check this out real quick. I got all my sheet to sand paper, pretty well organized by grid, I got this little handy round orbit sander, these holders for each individual grid that you can take out, take it to table and start your project. I got a nice heavy duty device here in case I need to do any work with metals and I also have a sharpening station. I use a mixed of sharpening stones and I also use this Tormek unit here. If you are familiar with the Tormek it is a pretty place of unit but it is a great luxury to have, it keeps my wife happy because I get to sharpen the kitchen knife with it too.
But in the future we are definitely going to have some sharpening episodes and will talk about all the different options that you have available to you when it comes to sharpening from the cheapest stuff to the most expensive stuff. Now appear I recently re-organized and got this great little handy I think they are made by Stanley, small parts organizers, screw organizers, this are just creative there is a lot more user friendly than those little plastic traditional plastic storage units, I always had trouble with them that might break and were lose them. This are I can bring right up to the project, used what I need and put them right back on the shelf and everything I have got is stored basically and these three.
On this side of the shop you could see I got sort of a mobile spray system set up here. I have a Fuji, a three stage turbine and if you are going to go from wipe on stains or wipe on finishes into the world of spraying a turbine really is a good way to go as completely self contained, you do not need a separate compressor and it really gets where you need to be, you are been spraying and finishes a note time, I highly recommend something like that.
In the north side of the shop you could see my hand tool traditional wood working area. I got a solid maple wood working bench here. I was really fun to build and just to give you a few words about work bench is, you know you can use a set of sawhorses and an old door if you want to and call it a work bench. It would really get the job done but something like this, not only it doe not look cool to have in your shop but I can consider it sort of right of passage into a fine wood working. If you can construct a nice solid maple top like this, a nice settle legs you know, really it is just a great way to go.
And right over my work bench you could see I got a nice tool cabinet for chisels, some saw, scrappers, block planes and marking tools. Just to show you a few details here this are very cool Japanese chisels, I believe it is made by the Fuji family. A really cool details here in a back here to notice is this a double hollow. Japanese steel is really, really hard so when you got to sharpen it take a long time it grind this flat but if you remove a lot of material you essentially can still get a flat back but you really to remove material from around the border of this hollow.
Now up here, you could see these are pretty standard bench chisels that are made form marbles cost about 20 bucks for the entire sets. These do not have any hollows ground into the back but it is a little bit softer steel so it should not take us long to sharpen as the Japanese chisels.
And just to know this as far as the money is concern, this again are great privilege to have you know it is a nice tree to have toll like this but honestly they are so expensive per chisel you know for what you get as far as returns, you are really better off just getting a set of $20.00 chisels that you can feel confident to knock around the shop and not be worried that, “Oh I am going to messed up my chisels.” So this guys I do got a lot to use but I reserved my Japanese chisels for special task, things like you know hands on details, and special during re-techniques so I really do baby those.
