Workshop Information

Location
United States
So, I out grew the garage and built a new workshop all by myself (with the exception of the slab and shingles), what I've got is a 24×14 shop with a 10×12 storage room attached for jigs, hand tools ect. There's another garage door on the right side that opens up to a 10×10 outside storage room for yard tools with it's own garage door.
I built in an overhead lumber storage area above the garage door, no use in wasting space!
I'm and electrical contractor so of course I have some killer lights, four 110 watt (13,600 Lumens per light) LED highbays on a dimmer, with two 10 watt recessed lights by the garage door. Outside I have 2 LED 15 watt flood lights, a coach light and some landscape lights to make it look purty.
Right now I have a little window unit but have provisions for a mini split A/C in the future.
I walled the interior with OSB and trimmed it with left over cypress siding
Thanks for looking!


Cypress siding from a local mill


The bench is made from a hickory tree that was cut down to make room for the shop, so basically I relocated it about 10 feet


Lumber storage


The sucker switch leads to the sucker hole that's connected to an old central vac with a thien bucket for shop clean up and the miter saw


I still have some work to do but it's a start!

That is a great looking shop! You did a fantastic job on the build.

I almost want to rebuild my entire shop to put in a closed off, separate area from the main shop, like yours.

Very nice shop! I really like you overhead storage. I have a central vac with dust deputy hooked up for cleaning, miter, router table, sanding etc… One of my best shop decisions!

Very nice!! Love the exterior, its very inviting, unique and possesses a bunch of curb appeal. Nice style. Also love the cabinetry-beautiful…..the sucker switch is the icing on the cake. - lol. Might install me a sucker switch wired to a siren to get those nosey friends of mine. Would make a nice joke-lol
