I built my workshop in the summer of ‘06 after moving into my new house. Its built on a previous single car garage concrete slab. I built it on 6×2 bearers and 4×2 stud work. It’s smaller than most of our North American cousins ‘shops, but it does ok for me.
You can view my flickr site to see the complete start-to-finish build, although I still need to update it as i’ve changed the interior quite a lot of the last couple of months.

Your shop looks like a WONDERFUL place to head to, to play with some sawdust.

I liked the photo shoot – but not a mug of tea in sight. I see the rain had perfect timing, waiting until you started to waterproof the roof. Welcome to LJ – great work for improved the privacy and gave you a place to hide – perfekt

Hi Tony, Glad you liked the photoset. It was typical british weather with the rain. It held of almost all the way through the build, (apart from 1 day when it rained and I had to run around with tarpualin and buckets to protect the newly laid floor), it rained only for 2 days, and one of them was during the roof laying, i got absolutely drenched!
But, it was worth it, my shed is like a little slice of paradise, just a shame I can’t be in there full time!

Your shop reminds me of mine quite a bit…overall size and all. And the weather seems to be about the same.
Enjoy seeing your work coming! Cheers!

I nice shop. It all proves that quality work doesn’t require large shops.

Dorje, Karson;
Thanks for the nice comments. The size of it for me is great, before I had a tiny 10×8 shed and had to work out on the patio! Because I don’t use a tablesaw and bias my work towards hand-work it’s surprising just how little space one need to work on various projects. I’ll post another fairly large project (green house) later that I managed quite well in the space.
If I could have more space, I think it would be useful to have a seperate finishing room, thats probably the most awkward thing at the moment – finding space to finish a project whilest starting another.
Have your say...
