Since a couple of weeks I am improving my woodworking workshop. We live in a house that used to belong to the village blacksmith, so it has two large annexes, one of which houses my workshop. It contained and old workbench, an old toolboard and a cupboard full of woodworms.
The old workshop
Some new tools
Because I’m in the process of picking up this hobby again, I invested in some tools. I started out with a new miter saw, a drill press and a shop vacuum:

miter saw 45 degrees 
drill press 
Light and laser cross hairs

Self made tools
Then I created some tools for myself, three different length guides for my electrical circular hand saw:
Cleaned and oiled my existing tools
After that I gathered all my old tools, cleaned them up and wehere needed gave them some TLC, oiled them again, etc.

‘Upgrading’ the old workbench
With my drill press turned 180 degrees, drilled hols in the workbench, made some stops and an improvised hold fast from an old clamp.

I added a grinder to my tool set.
Let there be light
It’s getting a little dark (end September), so I added some light above the workbench.
