    Since I live in a small 2-bedroom apartment with my wife and 2 kids I really enjoyed seeing this. I have part of our storage closest eeked out as a workspace. Nothing too fancy here, just an old table with some shelving bolted on to it and peg-board on the back. The belt sander has an exhaust port that I can attach directly to the home vacuum, plus I have an air filter, to reduce dust in there. It's not much, but gives me the freedom to tinker in peace now and again. Now I just need to figure out how to get a lathe in there...

    A nice space, for sure!
    I cannot have the dust from power tools in my bedroom, I do suffer from a couple airway problems, so I am a bit stymied as to any power tools working other than a Dremel drill press older? than I am...Works though. I am setting up an Dremel router table for use at a buddy's shop when he is available.
    I do have a WEN or Craftsman 3" diameter wet grinder for work on/ at my kitchen sink!

    It's great to see the workstations you guys have! I'll be piecing it together, puzzling it into a tight space.
    My back porch was just invaded by two laundry machines which is a serious breach of the deal I made with my wife!

    That wet grinder would be an awesome edition!

    Sad to say, I have also lost a blade to clumsy fingers and a concrete floor.
    Tragic to say the least.
