Hi Steve,

Any chance that we can get some updated photos of your shop?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your interest. I happened to have a few pics I took during my last project which I’ve uploaded.

When I say I am crammed, I mean crammed but I’ve put the table saw and the planer on wheels. I’ve also built a scrap wood and handtool stand on wheels which can be tucked away when not in use and moved around when access required. You can see that in the last photo, to the left of the drill press. I used offcuts of some recycled plastic carpet tubing to make some rings that I use for storing long narrow pieces. It has shelves on one side and has bins for storing long flat stock on the other side. The central upright panel is a torsion box for strength and lightness.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the update. Making your tools mobile is a great way of utilizing shop space. And that is a nice wood storage idea with the plastic tubing. Going vertical like this also effectively uses shop space.

You have a nice shop and some nice tools to work with.

I have enjoyed the shop tour.

Definitely a full shop! Cool idea for storing the long narrow pieces.

Great looking shop neighbour.
