Greetings from a newbie

Finally bought a house (1955 build, all original), now I'm looking to set up a shop to renovate it front to back. I also have young children, mind you, so I need to be realistic about expectations. Let's call it a long-term project. Anyhow, I've acquired some essential tools from one job to the next, including a table saw to rip fence boards, and now I find I need a proper work bench/outfeed table that I would like to double as a router table. Lots of things I'd like to build for the workshop. Looking forward to sinking my teeth into some of these projects!

Yes indeed, Jon, a full-time job in many respects!

Thanks for the leads. Makes for great night time recreational surfing material for when I can't make noise with power tools.
