I recently started woodworking and this is my first half garage/shop picture with basically two portable horse/work tables and not many tools. Working on my first project a shoe bench, however, my wife had other ideas for it.

I'm looking for an economical solution for my 2-car garage. This will be mainly for my larger tools (e.g., table saw, jointer, planner ext.) Currently looking at a Laguna DC15 (1100 CFM) $699 with no cyclone and the Bauer collector and cyclone $699. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

We’ve all had one. That project that went sideways, and took a chunk of our wallet with it. Maybe you miscut an entire sheet of walnut or used the wrong finish on a custom build.
