I’m new to woodworking and just built my new basement shop. It’s somewhat unusual, I reused our old kitchen cabinets when we remodeled… probably not so unusual… but I also got my hands on my company’s old conference room table 16×4.5 ft and a large white board for making notes. I’ve banged my head on that table for years, now I can put it to good use. I added a bench vise and my bench mounted power tools. For now I think it’s great for laying out and assembling project, only time will tell as I continue building projects. Currently, I’m leaning more toward hand tools but use small power tools for a little assistance.

Mike, this looks like a pretty nice place in which to work. I really the re-use of the conference table. Great job on the cabinets as well. I built a lot of mine but when I remodeled the kitchen in my parent’s house I saved those cabinets (which my father built) and put them in my shop. I like the way you organized your tools using the pegboard. This keeps them in-sight and readily available.
Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed visiting your shop.

Very nice shop, thanks!!! FYI – I painted my pegboard white, they look a lot nicer and reflect light making things brighter.

That’s one heck of a cave, Mike – so much room, and such lovely shiny tools :-)
