LOL n00b …. That was awesome!
That looks so clean. Really like your tablesaw. Not to mention that DeWALT sign you got up on the wall.
That a very nice work shop

WOW
OK, that has to be one of the best workshops I seen in a very long time. Where did you score that DeWalt table saw?

What an awesome work space, well layed out with lot’s of work area…..
This is what heaven looks like
Awesome setup man..idk what you use for your dust collector setup but I’d say it’s doing a great job!!
wow, you’ve really put together an incredible workshop! is that your professional shop?
Thanks All! — Much appreciate the comments. I do not do this professionally. I’m just a guy who loves to play with his wood :). It has been a passion for me ever since I was a small child. I would stand on a little stool driving nails in a board at my dad’s workshop whenever he was in his shop. — He always taught me to clean up before hitting the lights and calling it a day … I kinda went overboard LOL! — Now, my Dad (Who is 89 God Bless Him) looks forward to spending time in my shop whenever he can.

Steven, I was a Dewalt junkie back in the day …. My shop was nothing but Yellow and Black LOL! That being said, When they came out with a table saw, It just seemed like the right thing to do. I had a Craftsman before that. I have to say, this saw has been very good over the years. I think what sold me on it (besides the color :)), was the sliding table. Really nice and at the time … reasonably priced.
Faz, that’s one the best looking shops I’ve seen. The lighting is abundant, the floor is immaculate, the tools are amazing (I’m looking at all those Festool boxes). I wouldn’t want to leave that slice of heaven that you call a cave. Awesome stuff

Man, all I can say is ….. DO NOT BUY FESTOOL …. Unless you can prepare yourself to be consumed and addicted to that brand. When my Dewalt chop saw died, I was looking around for a sliding Miter Saw, but was concerned at how much depth they required. I then came across the Kapex. INSTANT love at first use! — Needless to say, I am now a fan.
Festool and Ryobi the green tool brands together at last!! I think you have the full Airstrike nailer lineup!! It’s funny Ryobi has the best lineup of cordless finish nailers out of all the tool companies.
Now that’s a Man cave!

Jason, That’s right haha! — How can you not like those nailers? They perform beautifully. So well in fact, I never turn on the compressor any longer and let a friend borrow my pneumatic nailers.

This is one of the best workshops I have ever seen! Mine doesn’t even come close to the awesomeness of yours and doing the work I do, my workshop gets black dust everywhere! You have some serious hardcore dust extraction! I wonder what powers all that heavy duty suction? Some people in here say you have built the dream, I tend to agree with that statement. And for the one who said this is heaven, thats not quite accurate. Get a few chicks in there in a bikini, then it be heaven. 😛
Alright your now giving me some dust extraction ideas,
Protoolnut, My dust extraction is not as elaborate as one would think. Each of three walls contains an MDF box which houses a RIGID shop vac. They are each connected to an Oneida Dust Deputy Cyclone. I cannot say enough good things about those cyclones. I also have one dedicated to the table saw. For my miter station, I have a Festool mini. For sanding, routing, track saw, general cleanup, etc., I have the larger Festool CT vac with Oneida’s cyclone on top of that. It all works very well. One investment that I am very pleased with is the JDS air cleaner. That thing moves a ton of air. You cannot imagine how much dust it removes from the air. BTW, I said the same thing about the girls in Bikinis, but my wife wasn’t too happy with that idea 🙂
Are you friggin’ kiddin’ me Fazz???????! All this remodeling I’m doing and mine STILL LOOKS LIKE A DUNGEON!!!!!!!! Seriously awesome shop! How’s that table saw working out for you and better yet how’s the air cleaner working out? I’ve been using mine but because of this next phase I’ve taking it down for relocation.
Very Nice!!!

ChrisK1970, I just replied to a post talking about the air cleaner and how much I love it. In my opinion, it is one of the best items one can put in their shops. The table saw is still crankin …. Everytime I see a Saw Stop, my mind starts to wander … but Old Yeller has been really good to me so I keep her around.
Yeah, I bought it as soon as one of our members posted it as a deal. I also run two Midis, one is the dedicated power source and DC for my Kapex. The other I use with my TS, routers and sanders. Glad to have another Festool nut on the forum. I’m thinking of starting a support group. You know…..for the inevitable money problems. Quality and Control costs and it’s worth it.

LOL! — Ain’t that the truth ….. In this case, you truly do get what you paid for.
That’s is awesome. Which I had the space to make a nice workshop like that. I hate having to set up everything up only to keep taking it down.
Now that is a cool work area! Where did you get that DeWalt tablesaw? Didn’t know they made full size table saws like that. Anyway, what a lucky guy you are with that set up. One of the best I’ve seen in a while.

RCWARD, It came out around 2002 or thereabouts. It was Model DW746. It was the first “Hybrid” table saw made. Not a cabinet saw, not a contractors saw. It did not come that way that is pictured. I added all Cast Iron wings and the Sliding table. I love this thing.
Awesome cave! I would be in there so long people would think I’m hibernating … and stuff. Lol

Wish they still sold that bigger model, would have bought that instead of my Grizzly.
Wow just wow. We have some high end crew members.. I need to step up my game. This is one bad ass man cave.

DG1127 – I get great results with both! I highly recommend the cyclones. It is astonishing to me that there is practically no sawdust in the main Vacuum. The filter is like new.
FILTH!! thats just absolute, 100%, undiluted, hardcore pornography!! i think a bit of wee came out when I saw the stack of Festool systainers and the Kapex miter saw….beautiful set up Faz…wow!!
Inspired……great shop thanks for sharing [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Eric a little paint a the right lighting and yours is there
Nice looking place you got there buddy. I love how organized it is.
Nicely lit and organized. Super clean. What else can you wish for ?
Drooooool…
Very easy impressive Faz, definitely a Festool type of shop (even if that is a little stereotypical).
I didn’t even realize Dewalt made a cabinet saw like that.
