Don’t have my workspace any more, but I have a deck (below a deck). I’ve started slapping together an outdoor workspace.
It is not a long term solution, but I get to fiddle around. The elements are still a problem, but not as bad as I thought they would be. I still need to store wood and my better tools inside as a precaution, but water resistant toolboxes, trash cans and a few bits for covering can help.
All wrapped up.
As I uncover and lay out the bits and pieces.
I after I get my planing stop and dog holes bored, I’m going to add a wood thread vise, a more stable base, perhaps more trash cans or weather resistant toolboxes.
Far from perfect, but maybe someone else will improve upon it!

Very simple and functional. I look forward to seeing the end result.

Nice job. I really like all the functionality. I used two 8’ 2×12” doweled together for several years as an outside work surface on saw horses. Yella wood. Sturdy. The older I got, the heavier it got lugging back and forth to the shed, to keep it out of the rain. I should steal an idea or two and modify my ol’ workhorse.

That’s a great idea. I should put this on the list.
Have your say...
