My woodworking shop shares duty with my other jobs at this moment. 30×60 might seem big enough till you add all my other stuff into it. I have a plan, and the needed materials, to add 20×40 to the end of my existing shop just for woodworking. All I need is TIME. My dust collector might even be used then. Here is a pic of my latest tool. A Delta unisaw with Biesemeyer 52” fence. I found it in a barn I was wiring covered in rust. I traded the lady of the house a new cedar vanity for it. 8 hours of cleaning and it looks new. 98 model. 3hp.
OK, here are some pictures, just as it looks most of the time, dusty!#1 front of my 30×60 steel building disguised as a 30’s gas station #2across the saw and plainer area. I have 3 table saws I use, all Delta #3 1 of 2 lathes. This my wheel lathe. on a White oak bench I made for it. #4 Project table. Lower part is a granite top, I hate legs that wobble, this oak bench rolls around and has a raised platform that rotates, tilts, and up & down. #5 across the shop at an axulillary work table. Great place to glue up larger projects and multiple items like these booster chairs. #6 is my creation of a wood stove. Inner firebox, outter heat exchanger w/fan. Finished stove has a catalectic exchanger so it is quite efficient. Takes care of all my scrap+. Come on by and have a visit and see the rest. Doug

How about posting some pictures of your shop when you get an opportunity?

Doug, this is a nice shop space that you have. The entrance to your shop is a wonderful touch that immediately sparks interest. If I were passing by I certainly would have to stop in and say hello. I like your shop layout as well. It is well lit, has plenty of natural light and, to me, has plenty of space to maneuver around in there. I can’t imagine what you are going to do with another 800 sq feet but I am sure you will manage to fill it up. The headroom that you have in there is something I would love to have in my shop!! And I have often wished that I had a stand alone shop like you do. You can run your power tools or finish a project without having to worry about disturbing other members of the family.
You have a nice collection of tools to play with as well and it looks like you have organized your hand tools and supplies well. Yes, you do have some dust and shavings in there but that simply makes a shop look like it is being used. I have to get the dust out of mine because if I don’t I get yelled at for “tracking sawdust in the house”. :)
Thanks for posting pictures of your shop. I enjoyed visiting it.

The entrerance is so interesting. The space no matter how much we have we want more! I would kill for that much room.
