I use the fence designed for my miter saw and the folding table Dewalt offers for my contractor table saw. Anything else ends up on saw horses, my tailgate, or occasionally a hallway scaffold set at working height.
My outside shop dimensions are 16×20. Lots of shelving and cabinets help, but my secret is wheels. Even my router table/storage unit is mobile. I can push/pull/drag just about everything on the floor to make room for a project or operation.
Like the saying goes, anything free is worth saving up for! Seriously though, what a wonderful legacy to pass on tools and equipment to someone who will use them and appreciate their value.
We've all been there: starting a project with high hopes, only to realize it's going to take longer than anticipated. Care to share your experiences with projects that stretched beyond their original timeline?
@David Isaac same age, similar situation. But my son did help, roots didn't prove to be a problem, and I've been a builder all my life. It's hell getting old. The fatigue is a real thing. But in the end we adapt and overcome. Keep on keeping on brother!
