New shop under construction #7: Things are coming together

« Part 6: Finally...somewhat operational Part 7 of New shop under construction series no next part

I’ve been working on/in the shop all fall and things are taking shape.

My next major project is to build Bob's Bench to replace my existing bench. I’ll then move my old bench under the window in the back corner. After that I’m going to build a low assembly table. Third on the list is some rolling storage carts under the stairs to maximize that space.

For now, I’m pretty happy with the way things are coming together. One lesson learned is that it helps to have more wall space. A box doesn’t have much wall space. If I were to do it over I would break up the space a bit more with a 10’ wall.

This turned out to be a gorgeous shop. It looks like you have plenty of space in which to work. And, to tell the truth, it is about twice the size of my shop but the way you have got things arranged it looks a lot bigger. But I agree with Woodworm. Let’s see some sawdust. :) I would enjoy working in there!!!!

By the way the trim work looks really good. It gives the shop a finished look that most do not have.

That looks excellant. When your ready to improve the dust collection on your Contractor’s saw let me know.

So that’s what a woodshop is supposed to look like. I really like the outfeed/assembly table for your TS.
