What upgrades are you planning this year?

[Alan]

Your setup has been working well, but there’s always a chance to make it even better. Are you thinking about new attachments, tech upgrades, or maybe some improved tools? What’s on your wish list for 2026? We’d love to hear what you’re planning to add!

More Milwaukee tools!

Great! You can never have too many Milwaukee tools, they're always a worthwhile upgrade. Though they’d add more chaos to your bench, lol.

Speaking of benches, the one in the garage is in similar or worse shape. But that bench was my own creation 25 years ago from some of my first milled lumber. All true dimension, it sits on 6x6 corner posts and topped with 2 8ft 4" x 18" oak slabs. Solid as a rock, I've always wanted to do similar in my shop for about 30 feet along one wall.

That sounds like an incredible bench. It’s tough to beat the feeling of using something you created, especially when it’s still standing strong decades later.
