Mark, great looking shop. I really like the Black and Decker Cup holder. I have several of those made by various manufactures. I am still testing so I am not ready to give one a heads up on the others.

 

Looks like you have a great space there.

Mark, standing in front of your plane bench is a most interesting large plane.  Is that used for really hogging off material?

If you are refering to the double sided axe it was my Grandpas. So it stays close as a reminder of a carpenter that impressed a kid 40 years ago.

 My Dad also gave me Grandpas bench about 10 years ago and it does duty in the garage.

one of those things that make you go hmm. If you click on the dust collection pic it enlarges into a different picture.

Great shop! I wish I had that much space. That leg vise looks lonely just standing there....

 The lack of power tools = space. Today though I'm cutting some bead board and thinking a table saw would be great for this. Leg vise got installed this morning on my side bench. It might still be lonely but at least it's ready to use.

It it can't be fixed with glue and sawdust - it's not worth fixing.

Thanks Sue. Maple would be good but this is just 2 x 4  and 2 x 6 from the big box store.

First bench build and I kept it low cost in case It didn't function as well as hoped.  
I spent over two hours sorting through there select pile to find 24 2 x 4s.
