The 'shop' -- a corner of the garage. I gots my band saw and my drill press along with some things I'm doing right now.

When It's not Christmas, this table (below with tablecloth) is bare and it becomes my indoor workstation where I glue and finish my CBGs. You can see one of my projects in the background there.

My "workbench" is a retired computer desk: the only real "shop"-like feature is the pegboard. Here it is, along with some works-in-progress:

Psh. Little bandsaws aren't scary at all. I routinely work into the blade close enough to gouge my calluses. I'll even rub the softer parts of my finger on the back of the blade. My table saw, on the other hand, terrifies me. I hate that I even have to use it. That and my trim router.

But I'm often using it on ugly pieces that need pressure from multiple directions. I guess I could use a helper to push stick the side. Or make a multi directional push stick.... I'm thinking rollers against the opposite side of the fence, or a track, and basically a giant c clamp to go around and keep my rough chainsaw cut across the bottom from wobbling when I push from the back. I'll look I to it.

More than you ever wanted to know about push sticks and featherboards...

Shop made feather boards are what I use on both the router table and the table saw. I have several of various lengths. Clamp 'em to the fence to provide downward pressure, to the table for pressure into the fence, both at the same time, whatever you want. They're easy to make, mount, and can be made from scrap wood.
