wow what a shop. Nice. An`airplane could land on that table saw! This is a pro shop

That’s a nice pro shop, although those pieces of equipment are pretty expensive.

and a router? you got lesser important machines like a mortise machine and a radial arm saw but you don’t have one of the most important machines in woodworking
for a basic shop what you need is
a table saw
a band saw
a planer
a thickness planer
a ROUTER
either belt or disc sander
and a drill press

@saltwatersun
nope he doesn’t have a router

@suffolkshepherd a pro shop without a router is not a pro shop. also his machines are a little outdated, and a table saw without a sled isn’t a pro table saw

collolup1 > “.. he failed to mention planer thicknesser ..”
He mentions (and points to) two thickness planers at 1:27 in the video.

Duirward > “.. he doesn’t have a router ..”
Isn’t that a router in the right foreground at 0:24 in the video?
> “.. a table saw without a sled isn’t a pro table saw ..”
He mentions (and points to) several sleds for the table saw at 1:45 in the video.

Of course, while this might be considered a pro shop based on the gross work capacity, the quality of the workmanship (not the tools) is what determines the professional woodworker. Just a reminder for those here apparently obsessed with tools in relation to the word “professional.”

@stewartx5
i’m talking about a real router, not a hand router screwed upsidedown to a table. that’s only good for chamfering
also i meant the real sleds. the ones that’s attached to the machine frame and that slide next to the saw blade.

ummm you do know he listing all the tools you need, and thats why i said he fails to mention the thicknesser, the fact that he has one and point to one means nothing, if he is saying that all the tools you need exclude the thicknesser thats where he is wrong

collolup1 > “.. you do know he listing all the tools you need ..”
No, he’s not. He’s listing only a sampling of things one might need. For example, he didn’t mention things most will certainly need for a woodworking shop – hand saws, hammers, chisels, portable tools (drills, saws, etc), and so on. Likewise, he listed things some might not need. I’ve done workworking for decades without a machine planner (hand planers instead), so that is not an absolute necessity.

that router aint no toy, its a $300 motor with $500 raising and lowering system, know your stuff before you make your self look stupid.
and those are real sleds, back down derwood.

@kentpbmx
i hope your comment was supposed to be sarcastic. if not i’ll waste no more words on you, because you’re laughable if you think that is a router and don’t even know how a sled looks like

@Duirward
No sarcasm here, not sure if there is some sort of translation issue, im assuming english is not your native language, but Im only guessing that you think a router (and im talking about a router table set up) is a shaper. And as far as sleds, those are crosscut sled that I show, and are indeed a type of sled. Plus, why are you sitting around writing silly comments on videos that you have nothing to do with or are knowledgable about.

I agree with you kentpbmx. Any jig that passes through the miter gauge slot or slots on a saw table is concidered a sled. I think what Duriward is refering to is a sliding table saw, ususally very large and ver exsensive, or a “slide attachment” for an exsisting saw. As for the “router” thing. Duriward. I use a routertable in my garage shop and I do alot more than chamfering with it. Ive been in the woodworking biz for 27 years in many different capacities. I know what Im talking about.

I’ll have to win the lottery before i can afford all of those tools.
