DaveC's Workshop

Dave,

Nice workshop and clean too!!!!!!!!!! I installed outlets in my shop about every 4 foot around the shop also and caught all kinds of flack from the wife that I had more outlets in my shop that we did in the whole house!!!!!!!!!!

Nope – no woodwork done here! No mess – no dust – no shavings – no projects under construction – and nothing on work surfaces.

A workshop is not supposed to look like an operating theater – that’s what I tell my wife and I’m sticking to it!

i remember when we had our addition put on the house and I saw how easy it was to put an outlet in—- well, I can tell you, that I was right on top of the electrician after that . “I want one here and here and here and here and here and….” He just smiled.
And so, when we “finished” the basement addition this past year (that would mean covering the gravel with cement) we had many plugs installed, just in case. Unfortunately, at that time, I didn’t know that we would be needing separate 220v outlets and so our electrician has to return this week (hopefully this week).
We needed a plug for the bandsaw but we don’t have a dust collector yet and I’ve noticed, on here, twice in the past week that some also take the 220v… hmmm might have to have 2 plugs installed.

Nice, mine is about the same size but is almost 6 years old. I remember when I had room to walk and turn around….....YOu will have re-post it 4 years to see how much stuff you can cram into a small space.

Thanks for inviting me into your shop. I’ve found that the French cleat way of hanging cabinets is by far the easiest. I too have many outlets around the perimeter of my shop at 52” above the floor so that a sheet of plywood leaned against the wall will not cover them up. Do you find many uses for you radial arm saw? I have three 220v outlets; two for my planer and maybe future 220v tool and one for a window airconditioner unit(if needed).

Hi Dave,

You have a nice shop and some nice tools to play with as well. I like your use of french cleats to hang your cabinetry. I have done all my in this fashion.

thanks for the post.
