Tool thoughts #2: Doors!

Howdy folks, got a little more progress on the shop this weekend. It’s been a long project, and I’m far from done.

This weekend was spent avoiding the last summer blast of heat, and hanging the doors on the shop…

This may seem like a small step, but for me it marks when I can truly start moving in equipment and stuff into the shop.

Starting to get a little crowded in there, but that’s the nature of the beast… at only 240 sq ft I’ll be doing the ‘dance’ a lot as I get things ironed out.

Here’s the first of my old workbench’s to be reassembled:

I’m 6’1, and this bench is 41” high. I’m going to lower the other half after measuring my mini lathe on there:

As it sits now, if I were to use the other half of the bench the spindle would be at 57” high. I think I’m going to lower it about 7” just for good measure.

I’ve still got the other half of the bench, plus a benchtop drill press, a storage cabinet and a bandsaw to stuff in there as well. Not to mention, lumber, and so forth.
