My $200 wood shop

That’s a very interesting way to go about it. Great in fact!

Great wood shop.. and a great use of an old trailer. I will refrain from my trailer park jokes.

Hi Pete,

That is a wonderful way to create a wood shop without spending big bucks for the space and tools.

Great job.

Thanks for sharing.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

That’s a dandy and the price is right.

that is pretty cool.

Form and function, what more do you need?

I love this story. A great shop with little start-up cost. I notice that the ceiling is sagging, I hope it don’t leak.

Great post and idea!!! I just wish you had posted this a year ago…...so we could put the truck and the van in our garage. ;-)

I’m curious, what kind of permit cost $3400

...and when you really start makin some money you can up grade to an Airstream! I’ve got a freind who has his shop in a 8X16 cargo trailer that he takes to job sites.

I had to paint the top of the roof with 2 gallons of silver seal to stop the leaks, will redo the inside of the roof as time allows.

And thanks for none of the Jeff Foxworthy jokes.

wow thats a great idea. its so cool how your shop is in a trailor and you used your space wisely to fit all of those tools in there. cant wait for some more posts.

Looks like a cool lil shop I have been known to do them there sort of thangs. But I’m not so sure I would smoke in it. The thought of the flames making my tools scream help would make me cry like a baby.

Very creative thinking both in the economics and the necessity of your needs. Great Job! You can actually take this shop to MsDebbie for inspection, why wait till she comes to you.

LOL…............... That is very cool! Awsome post!

Wow nice job. What are you making that you are in there 8-12hrs/day??

Great Idea! Hope you kept the bathroom in place!!

Imagine the possibility of going on a vacation, and spending your days at your campsite producing fine wooden items in your camper/workshop!

I knew of 2 people who bought old school buses and upfitted them as workshops. One of them even had sleeping quarters!

I guess an added benifit is that if you move your shop can move with you: no need to start over again! A very interesting idea.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Now that’s a cool idea.

My hat is off to you… I’m pretty cheap too… kills me to buy something new… that’s my Grandfather in me, I guess… good job!
