Very small shop…. very tightly packed with tools. It is a 20 foot shipping container with an 8 by 10 foot concrette pad in front with a cover. been slowly adding to it for around 9 years now. Plan on completely starting over and re laying out the shop in the near future.

Bet that sucker will hold up to a hurricane pretty well! Maybe I should weld a few of them together and dump the house…

This is a nice shop that you have put together. I have seen a few shipping containers converted into shop space and it is an interesting and economical method of putting in a shop. You have organized your shop space well and using pegboard is a good idea. It is a cost-effective method of adding both storage capacity and a wall covering at the same time.

You have a nice set of tools to play with as well.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed the tour.

Fascinating how much useful stuff you’ve gotten in there. What a trip for the eyes!

Florida, huh? What do you do for HVAC or—at least—de-humidification?

Since it is a shipping container you can ship your shop to my shack.

Great looking shop. I see something there that I have drooling over for awhile now. The Ridgid Radial Arm saw, that is the next item on my list of tools to get.

I lucked up and bought the Radial arm saw off of Craigslist for $50… couldnt believe it. Guy I bought it from said it wouldnt cut straight… well after spending 2 hours cleaning, tightening and realigning everything it works great!

Great shop, certainly maximises a very small area. Looks like you have some very servicable equipment in there too.

Takes time, money, and a lot of looking through Craigslist and pawn shops.
