The shop started coming together during this year. The saw was moved to the central part of the shop. The tool wall started to be used to organize some tools and I started gathering a few clamps.

shop history 2005
I do not have a group of pictures for 2005. I started working on this in 2006, I think. A new base for the table saw. This was a very significant effort. It's purpose was two fold. One to create a new base for the old Craftsmans saw and second to improve my overall skills at cabinet making. It worked on both counts.
