Well I will get pix of the messier parts and the less glamorous parts. But I had these pix in my files already so....

scottg,

Nice digs.  Nicer toolage.  And great benches.

You included a photo of the end of a tool tote.  Could you show the whole tote?

I have a couple of home made totes, but they aren't as artful as yours. 

My wife has her grandfathers old saw tote. It's been ravaged by time and heavy usage, but it's still a beauty.

I've never seen any two totes that were build the same way.  I guess it's highly individual.

The tote lifts out of the sawhorse/portable workbench/toolbox. This is the lightweight (relatively) one made for jobs away from home.
 
 
 
 

There is exactly enough room inside for a plane, drill maybe, and some screwdrivers etc. The little lid bumps opens up for bit n screw storage.

 

    A like a sawhorse/workbench so much to use, I also built a much heavier duty model strictly for in-the-shop use.
 This one has a full 10" bench vise on the front. An old Columbian.
Not sure why, but if you are going to find an old iron woodworking vise in this area, it will be a Columbian 99 times out of 100.  I think they must have had a whizz-bang salesman working this district.

 


 Oh, and one more, the Sawhorsie.........
 I made this to toss up into the rafters, for doing construction work with a skillsaw.
 This one uses a clamp and wooden pad for its vise.
 
 

 

   yours Scott

Looks like a workshop of an artesian/craftsman. Wonderful tool selection. Thanks for sharing.
Now we know where all those great projects come from.

Droooooool.....droooool......

Outstandingly nice shop.

In the third inside-the-shop photo (where it appears to the right), and then again when you feature your metal lathe (where it appears to the left), there's a metal plane up on the shelf.  Looks like some kind of combination plane, shiny silver with a wooden handle.  What is that?

scottg,

All your photo's disappeared.  What gives?

EDIT:  Never mind... they're all back now.  Must have been a website hiccup.

Great shop an as we know there's also some great work done in there. Thanks for sharing.
