RWW #4: Setting Up A Hand Tool Shop

Welcome back to The Renaissance Woodworker Podcast episode #4. This week fresh from a major power outage I started thinking about the elements of a hand tool shop and how it differs from a power tool shop. Subtle but major differences all at the same time.

Finally I mention several links throughout the show:

Bridge City Toolworks Commemorative Tool #15

Khalaf Oud Luthiery: Getting to Know Roubo

Popular Woodworking’s Greene & Greene online extra

Workbench Magazine’s shop planning tool

Here is a link to Amazon for “Hand Tool Essentials” one of my favorite books

Here are some pictures of my shop and a short video that will help to illustrate what I have done and my vision for the future.

This is a series of pictures moving from the front at the garage door towards that back wall showing the original fixed cabinets.
