Good thread. I'm about to embark on the same adventure. Bought a 8-acre property last winter with a house plus three other buildings. I'm close to finished with the house remodel, then the garage work starts. Maybe I should make a thread!
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Well, I purchased my first new workshop toy today
Once the table saw is delivered, I'll start working on an out-feed/assembly table as well as a routing work station. Space is a premium, so still working on conceptual layouts:
I'll post more pics the table saw is setup.
Nice! I'm planning on the same saw. Post pics when you build it out.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Have you decided on your dust collector yet?
I have not. I bought a fixer-upper property with a separate garage that I'm going to renovate into a shop, but I haven't started renovating it yet. Waiting on the weather to cool down.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:I finally got my SawStop put together. Here are some pics for radium:
I strongly recommend purchasing the industrial saw's hydraulic mobile base. It can be purchased with an adapter kit for the professional version of the saw, just a much beefier base with 4 swivel caster instead of 2. The biesemeyer style fence is very nice and slides smoothly. Overall, the fit and finish is better than that of a comparable Powermatic saw. I still need to run power for the saw, so no feedback yet regarding how it operates. I'll post some more updates once I've had a chance to play with it more.
This should help cabinet making more fun
Man that's hot.
I didn't know about the mobile base, that looks pretty serious. My buddy is still trying to sway me to a Powermatic but we'll see. Thanks for the info.
That's great I love your labels.
This is my favorite thread. I'm currently planning my garage renovation as well. It's a separate 20x30' building, insulated but unfinished. I've got to upgrade electrical, scrape popcorn ceilings, hang drywall... but it'll be worth it.
I convinced my wife instead of spending $8k to renovate our kitchen, I can build the cabinets myself and get better quality. This gives me a nice big budget for tools. 
Top of my list is a Domino joiner and a track saw!!! Been needing these for a while. I've got the same planar as you, and love my Hitachi miter saw even if it's not the coolest.
Oh my god you cost me so much money. I haven't seen that Jessem guide yet, looks sweet.
I have the same set of Incra T's. Also just picked up a Miter 1000SE used for $80, love it so far.
Curious to see how you like the paulk bench. I'm building new kitchen cabinets this fall and may have to build one of those first.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:If you build a Paulk table you won't need an MFT.
It's not so much the table I like as the fence and track setup, but I suppose that can be replicated.
I thought of making a paulk table but on a cabinet base on casters. Don't really need it to be portable. Not sure yet.
Wow very nice. My buddy has the smaller model and loves it. That fence is a beast!
New toys are fun. I just bought the Festool TS55REQ track saw. Haven't tried it out yet but I'll be building new kitchen cabs soon with it.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Great saw. I’d like to get the battery powered one. Best to just avoid Festool’s website, save more money that way.
No kidding. I first bought the domino joiner and a systainer of tenons, then I had to have the rotex... then I’ll stop, yeah. Well now I want every tool I buy to come in a systainer!
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Finally picked up a Domino, it's worth every penny.

Nice! I’ve got the same kits. Definitely checkout the domiplate...

I also just bought the Seneca parallel guides and really like them.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Been looking at those Incra parallel guides for awhile as well. They do look nice.
Do the Seneca guides come with the Incra track or do you have to purchase them separately?
They sell them with or without the tracks. I bought them separately because I had a coupon or something. I got sets of 24" and 36" so I can swap around.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Ha, we both know Festool stuff never goes on sale
I got a $100 gift card with my OF1400 last month from toolnut.com!
But what I’ve mostly been doing is waiting for those 20% eBay coupons. They occasionally have no restrictions, so I use them to buy Festool from a reputable seller (I like hartvillehardware). It adds up to serious discounts.
Quoted from j_m_:you need to post when those 20% coupons become available. I've been eyeing a few more festool items
Check out this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ebay-20-discount-today-only
The codes are being posted there. I check pinside a couple times a day so when the thread pops to the top of my favorites I usually see it in time to use a code. I've saved over $500 so far on various stuff.
