Spent some time over the last few days cleaning up and reorganising the workshop.  The motivation for doing this is to find a parking spot for the latest nearly completed project – the 14” bandsaw !!!

This is the big Ozito 12” sliding mitre saw. I was lucky to get one of the last as they don’t make 12” anymore. Thanks to Ozito (again) for tracking one down and getting one to the Bunnings Scoresby store for me to pick-up.

On the left is my most recent purchase, ALDI WorkZone Xfinity 20V sliding mitre saw. Marked down from $149 to $99 and then another sticker over that for $49 – into the trolley. Battery (must be 4.0Ah) and charger not included. On the right is a WorkZone belt & disc sander. Both are sitting on a butchers trolley.

Timber storage in this corner.

WorkZone router table with 1200W router. Sitting underneath is a DIY router lift (scissors jack) to easily adjust the bit height which greatly increased the versatility of the setup.

Above the router table is more timber storage.

In the middle of this front area is the Ozito table saw and my most recent project – the 14” bandsaw.

Moving along from the router table is the drilling workbench with two bench drills – WorkZone and Ozito.

Next are two more DIY benchtop power tools, 8” bandsaw and jigsaw table. Both are sitting on a entertainment unit that I picked up off hard rubbish. Stored underneath is the WorkZone shop-vac plus other stuff.

Corner storage with two large shelving racks sitting on/in a dolly with castors.

Computer system sitting on a sewing cabinet.

Electrical and electronics bench.

Small parts storage and in the corner network switch and battery charging.

General purpose workbench and wall tool board.

Central power coming down here for the table saw and band saw, and across the floor here to the main workbench.

  Lighting is good.

The main central workbench with clamps stored underneath.

The main tool cabinet which one day stood in someone’s dining room.

Hardware storage cupboard.

On one side of the PA door a little ‘reception area’ and on the other side phone/intercom and night light which acts as emergency exit lighting if main power is lost.

Finally back where we started, a general storage cabinet which also houses the CCTV security system.
