Hey guys,

I'm moving my shop from my townhouse to my farmhouse, lots more room and better conditions.

I have a few dremels with pretty much every concievable attachment, a scroll saw, and a disc/belt sander.

What else should i get? I'm working on getting a drill press, is there anything else you guys can think of?

Lathe for your own custom combat barrels =D

De quoi s'agit-il?

haha, multiple people from combat have told me that...

I'm afraid even if i could afford it i wouldn't understand it...

I'm thinking Band Saw, i have a soldering iron i forgot to add to the list ... along with the common hand tools...


Luckily i have a few friends with Lathes, you gotta pay for barrels and props but they are still cheaper than buying online!

Chem equipment for your own gunpowder

1. I'm planning on getting a bandsaw too, however would someone explain to me the purposes of one compared to a scroll saw? anything other than just thicker material?

2. I have gundpowder

3.by Palm Sander do you just mean a sander that you hold? I believe i have a few out in the barns...

With a fine blade it will cut more fragile materials as far as Ive been able to tell, Scroll saw is better at turning corners.

Whoa! I thought you said you had your shop in the basement. Is that what you mid-westerners call a townhouse?????

The one thing I use above all tools is a linisher.
I have a Multi type. It has a disc and a belt sander.

A very fine toothed saw is a must also.

Regards
Phil.

what is a linisher?

A sink. I have to take sanding into the kitchen or bathroom to get to running water all of the time.

Also, if you have the room, a walk-in spray booth.

One of these.
They come in lots of sizes and do not cost the earth.

Kiwi,

I have one!

Devin,

I'm working on a sink... we have all the plumbing set up in the basement to install a bathroom, but we haven't found the need for one yet (in the basement that is) ... so an industrial sink should be easy.

As for a spray room, no need. I do very little spraying, and there is a door from my shop to go outside in an area surrounded on 3 sides to prevent any wind.... i do spraying out there.
