Thanks all,
Yes it's insulated, R30 in the ceiling and walls.
It's been a journey! Over 40 years in the making.
Most every thing is new to replace old rusted cheap crap.
The Unisaw was a lifelong dream.
The lathe was this years Christmas gift from my wife.
The other stuff was an unexpected windfall from from my mom when she passed last year.

When I get a chance, I'll detail it for you all. But in the meantime
Here's a shot facing the doors (with the DP Wink

).
And one of my old 'shop'

The support posts added a unique challenge to any thing over 4'. Add in the unique NJ basement smell and you have a very interesting work environment . This is what the new shop replaced after Mother Nature deemed it was time: Greg

LOL, In a way yes.

Unfortunately, I was so in shock after the devastation, all the wonderfully wood was dumpstered out of here. Cry

. Huge 100 year old oaks, ash, and walnuts.) Just couldn't think straight. Sigh, my loss.
