That is really nice. My shop is never that clean. I thought I would supplement social security with woodworking, but when the economy bottomed out, it was no longer profitable. My cabinet saw has only been turned on once in the last three years.

How cool is your workshop!

That's a great shop you have there! Every man's dream! And it is so neat and nice. There are many different tools, and it looks complete. What tools do you still want to own?

There basically isn't a tool that I want for my shop. I have 3 band saws, 2 drill presses, a router table, 4 hand held routers, a bench sander, oscillating sander, 2 scroll saws, 2 dust collection units, a table saw, a surface planer, a full sized wood lathe, 2 cordless drills, 3 corded drills, 2 circular saws, a reciprocating saw, a compound miter saw, 2 shop vacs, a jig saw, a laminate trimmer, a sharpening station and 7 sanders. Not to mention a full assortment of hand tools and hand held power tools. I'm into upgrading now but at the moment, I am very content with what I have. I have a lot of quality equipment that I keep in top shape.
I think that my next "upgrade" will be a better quality wood lathe. I'd like a JET, but I can't seem to get them in Canada.

(I can't believe that I can't think of anything to buy....

I should be ashamed of myself)

Geez, and I thought I was a tool junkie.

I've got a JET lathe, and I love it. You've got to find one. You won't be sorry.

I have only one band saw, but I have 2 drill presses, 2 lathes (one is a duplicator), 2 dust collection units, a finish sander, 2 scroll saws, 3 cordless drills, one corded drill, a compound mitre saw, a Performax, 3 dremel tools, 2 circular saws, one trim saw, 2 shop vacs, a sharpening system, a table saw, 2 belt sanders, one has a disk sander attached, and a boatload of hand tools, including an entire collection of hand planes.

I don't even want to think about buying another tool.

A workshop any guy OR GAL would be happy to have! I'm planning to build in a few years, and a big workshop is definitely in the picture. I'd love to learn woodworking eventually, but for now I'll just stick with a centrifuge, kiln, soldering and other metalworking gear... One thing at a time, right? :-D

At any rate, enjoy your space.

Actually with all the tools that I have, I think the one I use most is a pencil. I don't even bother with a pencil sharpener. I just sharpen it with a utility knife.
