I became an ambassador for Coffee Cup Software before my page was even on the web. I help promote Coffee Cup Software and attempt to help people to make their web pages better. My page is still growing, and I am still learning myself....
First a little history...
My woodworking skills started at a very early age working with my father's tools when I was probably seven. My dad had an old Craftsman 6 1/2" table saw. It was underpowered by today's standards, but it was very accurate. We even had a 6" dado cutter. I built many small projects with that equipment, and learned a lot. We had various other 
power tools, and over the years I acquired my own.
Even before getting my own shop, I built quite a number of illusions for use with my other hobby - magic. Many of my illusions were built from scrap lumber acquired from the home builders across the street
And so, I built my wood shop....
My shop includes the following: 10" Craftsman table saw with add-on fence, Delta 12" chop saw, Craftsman head-tilt band saw, ShopFox band saw, Jet jointer, Delta planer, Craftsman drill press, Porter cable router and various other hand tools. For sharpening, I have a Tormek sharpener system. I recently bought a low-cost (cheap) metal cutting band saw (it's a foreign import that does a descent job). My shop includes dust collection for the tools and a Powermatic collection system.
I have a compressor for the air tools that is stored in my garage with connections in the wood shop. The compressor is on a two way switch so I can turn it on from either the wood shop or the garage. I added my air tools when I built my deck and shed - that has been my attitude for buying tools for a long time - find a tool you need for the project you are working on...then go get it!
My woodworking today...
Since I've had my own tools, I have built everything from wall cabinets to a doll cabinet for my daughter (now used to store cd's). Early on, I had built some "Tater & Onion" bins as gifts (seven of them!) and even an early computer table. In 1992, I began my involvement with a local theater group. That involvement turned my shop into a prop building facility for a play each year. Over the past six years of so, I have been assisting a local boy scout troop, various projects included patrol boxes, wash station, and a really cool Klondike sled. I have more ideas and hope to build more things soon.
Electrolytic Rust Removal
Have you ever seen this? It is very cool and works fantastic. If you have rusty tools to clean, this may be the system for you - Here's the link: Electrolytic Rust Removal
I'm also working on putting together a kit to make it even easier to make - check out my Buy Stuff page for more information
