And just like the chisels, block planes are another one of those things where you can spend a ton of money or you can go to a yard sale spend about 5 bucks and come home with three block planes. Here is a good example I have a lenelson(ph), a regular angle block plane and there is a low angle, actually this is a low angle block plane. It just a the Cadillac of hand planes, it is an awesome tools but ask anyone who is actually refurbished the tool and you will find out that an old Stanley, you know there is actually is not that old but an older tool maybe something like this guys here.
Once these things are refurbished you flatten the sole, maybe even buy a new blade and nice thick blade to reduce the chatter and get these things sharpen up and these things are going to perform like a champ. Most of the time people have a bad experience with the plane not because it is a cheap plane because it is never been tooled properly.
So you only need to spent this kind of money, you know to necessary get a good performing tool, you just go to the yard sale or flea market. Along the north side of the shop I got another critical tool, this is a jointer, six inch. Essentially the jointer task is not only to mill a wood surface flat but also to square up an edge so it is a perfect 90 degrees, very soon we are going into the details of milling wood straight, square, flat, parallel and this is a critical tool and that serious of task.
I got some basic shop storage. Tool, blades straight, edges, it just about anything you can imagine. I just stored it up here, and over here I am fortunate enough to have two different bandsaws, I got my jet 14 inch and I got a 16 inch mini max, this is the guy that I used for re-sawing lumber also used for cutting my owned venire, it is a really heavy duty unit.
And between the two I got a router table, if you got the time to build the one I highly recommend, getting yourself a nice unit with some storage and make sure you got a nice heavy duty router in the table so you can handle those you know those heavy duty task. It is good idea to have also had another router, you might want it, you know get one that you can take out off the table and then use it by hand but again if have the luxury, get one that you can used that you just leave this guy in the table and get a plunge router that you can used for taking the tool to the wood.
The last thing I like to show you today is my cyclone dust collector. Basically this one five horse power unit covers the entire shop and goes to each tool via a six-inch main trunk line. Now the principle behind this with the cyclone separation is that the materials spins around it separates the fine material from the dense heavy material. And the dense chips and sawdust and everything settles down right in this can and I empty down just about the a couple days and the lighter really the most dangerous stuff for your lungs it actually sent right outside.
Fortunately, I live in a climate where I can get away with taking a lot of interior air and sending it outside without it getting too cold or removing too much air conditioning or in some cases in the winter removing over heat from inside and if you look outside here you can actually see the vent. Over here I actually had to cut into the house to do this but you know it was worth it, I am missing one of my little two jobbers but you get the idea when this turns on this guys open up and it throws up all the fine dust into my neighbors yard.
