WoodJack49's Workshop

Looking forward to seeing them. You have an excellent place to buy wood close to you in Carlsbad.

Hi WoodJack;

I like your sign off line!

I am looking forward to seeing your pictures as well. Seeing other workshops is one of the nice benefits of being involved here.

I finally had a chance to upload some pictures of my “shop”.

I enjoyed the pics of your shop, Most of are happy just to have a shop reguardless of its size. It affords us the ability to do what we all love.

Thanks for the pictures, Jack.

It does look like you have a lot going on in there. It is cozy but you manage to get the job done. You have some nice tools to play with as well.

Thanks for the shop tour. I really appreciate it.

How sweet it is Jack. another crowded workshop like mine.

my shop started out as a 10×12 shed, very crowded when i built a 2.5’x35”x5’ dresser.
now my shop is 12’x 28’ still gets crowded sometimes.

My current space is my “expanded” space. I started out with only about 10X9 in the garage. The other half was then occupied by a tent trailer that we very seldom used any more. We finally found another place for the trailer and I could expand my shop area only to have one of the laws of the universe take over and it quickly filled with a larger table saw and an assembly table.

Probaly the biggest negative right now, besides the lack of space, is the lack of wall space. One short side has mostly household storage shelves and the garden hose. One long side has no wall. The other long side has the roll-up garage door which needs to remain useable. The other short has some storage shelves that I annexed but are not really designed for a wood shop. That’s my next opportunity for improving the shop.

That is a lot of equipment in a small space. Looks good.
