Chris Nilluka, Small Beaverton Oregon Shop
Looking in
My shop is framed in, inside the garage. 60 square feet total. Annoyingly small…
Tools inside the shop: Rigid 14″ Bandsaw, Delta 12.5″ lathe, Delta Belt/disc sander, Rigid 6″ grinder/buffer, Rigid shop vac, Grizzly 2×72 belt grinder, 1×30 belt grinder, router table, Onieda Dust Deputy, Delta 12″ drill press, small compressor, plus an array of handtools, sanders, etc… Needless to say it’s a little tight in there.
My tablesaw and Performax drum sander have to go outside.
Mostly I am a woodturner. I also make jewelry/trinket boxes, small furniture, and custom knives. See more at http://www.chrisndesigns.com

Thats a nice shop.
Time to move the car outside and bring your table-saw in. Good dust collection is really really important A ambient dust collector in your shop would be healthy for the lungs. Good woodworking can be done in a small shop.
Great shop and I do sympathize with the size as my shop has similar issues...you work with what you have.
I noticed the Rigid 14" bandsaw and the green riser block. Are you using the Grizzly riser block kit? Just curious because I have got one but haven't yet installed it (the Rigid one was just too bloody expensive and is exactly the same except for the green paint).
jverreult, yes that is a Grizzly riser block. The only problem with using that is the longer shaft for the upper guide block assembly is too small in diameter to work. So I just left the shorter one on. It's works just fine.
