Pierre Faubert's workshop

When Pierre sent me pictures of his homemade bandsaw I was curious about some of the machines in the background. Pierre graciously sent photos of the rest of his shop, with notes. A very nicely organized shop! Pierre also added:

All my equipment follows the same colour scheme. It all started when I bought a Rigid granite topped table saw on sale at Home Depot. Then everything else just had to be Home Depot orange!

Being retired, money is a little tight and I enjoy building my equipment. I search the web for ideas then I design and draw the tools (your "long reach" clamps are next!)
