Workshop Make-Over #2: Current Shop Layout

« Part 1: Workbench Update Part 2 of Workshop Make-Over series Part 3: Table Saw update: Pt 1 »

I forgot to show the current layout of the shop in the first Blog,, without this information the rest will not make much sense.

So as you will see I do not have a good space for assemble of projects, so this update is all about maximising the limited space that I have.

Episode 3 will now contain the Table saw upgrade.

Tony, this is a really nice set up, the flow looks good. Looking forward to seeing how the shop evolves.

It’s an enviable setup, but I agree…assembly is limited. I’m looking forward to seeing the updates!

I guess it’s all relative, Tony. I’d die for a shop like this. (Course, if I died – I wouldn’t need a shop like this. LOL)

LOL….good point Don….I’m sure when you die you’ll have all the shop you need and every exotic species there is to make small boxes.

Tony….Tony….Tony….let’s trade shops ......no assembly area…....LOL….I think I’m getting slightly hysterical….

Tony -

I agree with Don – “I would die for a shop like this” Well, maybe not die but envious for sure!

I appreciate the kind comments, but do not forget, this is how I make my living – as commercial workshops go it is a little small – it is only a 2 car garage – NO CARS ALLOWED – plus another garage. I need another 500 square feet, with a 9 to 10’ celing. this means I can then work on multiple projects and/or have another woodworker in the shop at the same time.

Still I have another 14 years and 50 weeks befoire they retire me – so plenty of time to get a bigger workshop – I need to use the M7 more and start building a log workshop!!!!
