Seeing Al's shop made me feel at home! Neither of my vehicles have ever seen the inside of our garage and yes, there's ton's of clutter here too. Great video. AL you are The Man!

By the way, Bosco looked like he wanted to play with Al. He must really like that dog house Al built.

Al, did you insulate it and install a heater for those cold MA winters? Im sure if you did, Bosco would love you forever. :lol:

Al-you've got a nice shop and I want to see you hanging around the power tool forum as a regular contributor.

Its obvious from your setup that you're no hack when it comes to doing woodworking. As someone who makes a lot of built in's and case goods, you've got the right stuff to build things like that efficiently. The panel saw must be nice as well as having a table saw dedicated to cutting dados. I don't have the room in my shop for two table saws so that must be nice.

A year ago I met Norm Abram and had a chance to talk with him about making a living in woodworking. He told me that making furniture is nice and admirable, but the guys who make a good living in this gig do finish cabinetry and stuff like what you're set up to do.

I'm on the fence between doing this woodworking for pleasure and for money so my shop will always be a mix between power tools and hand tools.

Speaking of Tommy's music, I was in line for movie tickets the other day, and the old theme music was running on loop in the background. I had to hurry inside so I could tell my wife! :lol:

And now, last night I was taking my daughter out and the Wood Whisperer music was playing inside the theatre. Think they are mind reading me? Two different theatres playing 2 different wood working pod cast themes. Maybe we are a bigger demographic than we thought! :lol:
