Have fun! Don't drool over the table saw, it rusts.

Drum sander. Indispensable for a lot of things. Used this heavily in the beginning stages of the guitar build. From "planning" to getting the cover plates and headstock veneer to the correct thicknesses.


My favorite drill press. Bearings need replacing, but it runs like a champ. Also used a lot for the guitar build. We have a kit that turns it into a small oscillating drum sander. Good for tighter corners. Kit comes with a box that doubles as the dust catch-all. Works well when hooked to the dust system.


Router table. Dad built the table, he also added legs that can be used to raise the table up to save your back. Router is permanently (can be removed for maint.) mounted and designed for this use. It spins the opposite direction as a hand held router. In the table is the hand held router and should have a Dremel kit, but that's out in use.


Picture of on side leg to raise the table. There is a log pole my dad made that has a metal right angle at the bottom, stick it under the table and lift, drop leg. Move to other side and repeat.


Table mounted belt sander with sanding disk. Great for a lot of things, from projects to quickly removing a bit of wood, plastic, metal, nylon, your skin...


SawStop - Yeah, I'll pitch the product all day long. Expensive, yes. But, how much is a trip to the hospital when you cut off a finger or three?
