Official Luthiers Forum!

I am searching for one of you experienced blokes to assist me in setting up my basement shop. I wish assistance to correctly assemble, set-up, and tunembled my power tools -unassembled in crates- (not many-
14" Delta band saw, Jessem router table, Grizz. floor drill press- a few smaller units) and arrange tools for most efficent use of machines and space.

I live in Denver area, 60 yrs. young, nice guy and very funny , Of course, wil be willing to pay in cash or sawdust
Thanks,

There's a bunch of books and magazines that cater to this topic specifically.  I'd suggest picking up a few and going through them as a first step. 

Second is to determine just what you want to accomplish with the space.

Thanks all,
I have read numerous publications, watched DVDs, and believe I understand all the concepts.
However, if I have questions about set up or to perform a certain task, I find the answers on DVDs and in publications rather non-responsive. Ergo, I want to work and talk with a human-what a concept.

[QUOTE=ToddStock] John White's 'Care and Repair of Shop Machines' from Taunton is about the most comprehensive guide out there for standard shop equipment. It covers band saw and drill press set-up in detail. Router tables are really not something that needs much more than assembly.

That is a good book. Another that I find invaluable is "The Accurate Table Saw". It is a small book I got on Amazon, but it is packed full of very useful information (and debunks a lot of myths and misinformation) about how to set up, maintain and use a table saw.

I'll second that, it's a great book.
