Be aware, Lots of Pictures!! 

 

Here's the entrance from the side door.  As you can see, it's in my attached 3 1/2 car 900 sq. ft garage.  To the left is my lumber rack, to the right you seem my Delta 1HP DC.  Room further right and left of pics are storage spots.

Closeup of Lumber Rack, Sheet Good storage, and the tool generally needed first when you pull lumber off the shelf, My Craftsman 6 1/8" Jointer.  Lumber Rack was my own design, just used 2x6 from my son's old bunk bed set, figured I could put them into good use.  The two funky pieces that support the sheet good rack were just decorative rails or footboards or something from the bed, ran out of straight 2x6's :)

Closeup of my Delta 1HP DC.  Don't have any ducting yet, just a long hose I attach to each tool as needed.  Havn't upgraded the bags yet either.

All around pick of the shop.

My newly acquired Ridgid TS3650.  Outfitted with router table with Rosseau plate and Folding Outfeed Table.  To Do's on this saw are: Miterslot extentions into the outfeed table and for the router table, as well as an auxilery router table fence.  This saw is awesome!

Inside the Router Table I have a PC 7529 Router that I got back when HD was doing the 8529 Rebates, they had a 7529 on display that I walked out with for $80.

Freud SD208 Dado Stack for use with my new Saw :)  Showing Stock Miter Gague.  Actually works pretty good.

Saw shown ready for use with folding outfeed table setup. 

Rear side of folding outfeed table.

 

Outfeed table folded down.  Legs fold against eachother, otherwise there wasn't enough room for clearance to the back of the saw for the table to fold completely.  Just used simple door hinges.  Wood I used was from my son's old bunk bed set.

Frame that holds the folding outfeed table of the saw.  This was a PITA to design.  I just used some poplar for the frame, bolted to the side of the saw.  Had to drill new holes for the bolts, and had to use a lot of them so the frame wouldn't twist or bend.  You can see all the bolts and screws.  Used a continuous hinge for the table portion.
