Table Saw Finds A New Home

Along with the jointer, the table saw has now found a good home and I have no intentions of replacing it. As I continue to change my work habits, I found I can do everything I need to do with my 14" band saw and my array of hand saws. I have started building another saw bench using this method and I am really enjoying it. Along with the table saw, the buyer also purchased my workbench. It was a fine work bench patterned after the Essential Workbench plans in FWW a few years back. It was big, and very heavy. Since we decided to sell the house here in Tennessee and move back to the Greater Cincinnati area, I saw this as a great opportunity to build the Benchcrafted Shaker Bench and will do so as my first project once we are settled in up north. I have the plans, and the hardware is on order. I intend on keeping my DeWalt 3 head planer for shop use when needed, and some other associated power tools used for home improvements and for the kids to borrow :) Anything else I sell will be some excess hand planes and some wooden planes I don't want, don't use, and don't want to move.           I will post those later.

  1. Congratulations on getting rid of the table saw. I haven't used mine in a year and a half. I hope to find the guts to get rid of it soon. It would free up some valuable floor space. But I'd loose horizontal surface storage space, because that's all it's been lately. Looking forward to seeing your new shop set-up. I've always admired the look of your current shop. Looks nice and bright with all those windows. Anxious to see your wooden planes for sale also. I have a bit of a weakness for those.

  2. Thanks Jamie, I figured the only way was to let it go, besides, I wasn't using it all that much anyway and didn't want to pass up the chance to let it go. I will send you some pics of the planes.

  3. I am sooo jealous that you are going to build the Shaker bench. I want that one too. Good luck with your move.
