My Workshop Series #4: The under stairs area.

This area, being long but narrow, was created under the stairs and verandah by installing a fiberglass roof underneath the joists and lining the inside of the walls.

It is a small rectangular area adjacent to the main workshop and is the main metal working area.

It houses the grinders and polishing wheels, welder, soldering kits, metal cut of saw (adapted from an old drop saw), metal working vice and my lathe, which is a very much under used tool.

In the cupboard under the long bench I’ve installed and soundproofed my air compressor, which makes the noise of the compressor starting up whilst working in the shop bearable as I can still hear the radio. From there I can control the flow of air to both the workshop and the adjacent extendable air hose reel.

Along the back wall my collection of pipe clamps lives as well as various metal working and plumbing tools.

Here are some pics.

Next the finishing shed.
