dennis mitchell's Workshop

Not sure if that large shed in the background is your shop, Dennis, but if it is, that’s my dream shop I can’t even imagine how much equipment I could cram into that space.

You’re lucky to have all that space Dennis. What do you use for heat ?

Sounds like about 24×48. And I have about 160 sq. ft :P

It is 32’X26’. Dick, I have two 220V wall mount electric heaters. I use these just to keep it from freezing. I heat it with a portable propane heater.

Wow, my math was waaaayyyyy off.

You have a nice place to work, Dennis. You do great work, too.

Dennis great workshop. I’m with you on keeping the shop warm. I have a seperate meter for the shop and pay about $45.00 per month for electric and last year I paid over $600. for propane.

This year I dropped the thermastat setting. and only heat to 52 deg. So I’ve used just 100 gal of propane at about 3.50 per gallon.

Dennis,I finally found your shop. Looks big as a barn. I hope to get over to see you before the year is out. See ya then.

Hi Dennis,

You posted this long before I came on board but I am glad it came up on my list. You have a huge shop with plenty of work room. You have a nice collection of tools and I really like your lumber stash as well. By the way I enjoy seeing some sawdust on the floor. It confirms that you shop is getting used. I would much rather see something like this as opposed to a pristine shop that, to tell the truth, looks rather lonely.

Thanks for the post.

Hey Dennis – somehow I missed your shop – guess I never went to page 7. Great shop and I think I have seen that tractor before. =0)

As I have said to others, my whole shop would fit on your outfeed table! Very nice!

Nice shop. I recognize the tractor and outdoors photo. I grew up in Hunt on a farm, ranch just east of Jerome and had an old ford like that one. Makes me want to move back to have some land for a large shop.

I aw and drool at your shop and I’ve even designed my dream 24’ x 36’ shop but I think the question really is how warm you want it. My shop is 14’ x 26’ right now and I keep it as warm as I want with two small electric heaters charging me maybe $40/month or so but man it would be nice to have another 100 sq ft at least! I’d compromise ten degrees.
