khop's Workshop

That is one great looking shop you got there!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Very nice looking shop. Very clean and organized.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

That’s another killer shop. I wondered about the floor drain so I looked at your projects a you mentioned you had to level the floor to make the entertainment center which is outstanding I might add. I like the roll around tool boxes. I wonder if the floor tires out you feet. I have that sponge stuff and my brother can really tell that it helps. Your floor is real clean and neat. Welcome to Lumber Jocks and thanks for showing your shop right of the bat.

Bob, I do have the anti fatigue mats where I stand most. It does help alot. I wish I had installed the underfloor tube heat though. Maybe next time.
Thanks KHOP

-- How am I doing? Better than I deserve.

Holy Cow! Please tell me you do this for a living and that’s why you need all that space?

Otherwise, please tell me how you convinced your wife that you needed a fully outfitted 30’ x 40’ shop… I gotta get some pointers on that!

-- -- Kevin in Mentor, Ohio

Kevin, I was a small (3 people) plumbing contractor. I built the shop in 1995 mainly for material storage. I have enjoyed woodworking for nearly fourty years. I semi retired from plumbing and now I have much more time for piddling. My wife loves the projects I have filled the house with. I’ve aquired my tools slowly and with much anticipation I’M NOT DONE YET.
Thanks

30×40. wow, thats awesome, thats the same size as my place, gives me an idea of what I can have if I can find it in myself to organize it, what type of paint did you use on the floor, is that a specialised epoxy?

DOX, it’s Rustoleum Epoxy Shield

Khop,

You have a beautiful shop. It is well organized and the space is simply wonderful. You have a nice set of tools to work with as well.

The only thing you are lacking is a kitchen and a bed. Then you would never have to leave!!!! :)

By the way I like your floor. I put the same thing in mine, although I do have some areas that are peeling now, and it does help lighten up the shop.

Thanks for the shop tour. I really enjoyed looking at yours.

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

Very nice shop, where do you keep the sawdust? You either hired several cleaning ladies before you took the pics or you’ve got a bad case of OCD. Just kidding, makes me want to clean up my messy shop.

Awesome shop Khop, couldnt spot a thicknessor?

Harry, A thicknessor? If you mean a planer, there is a Delta 13” tucked under a bench on a pull out tray.
Thanks

Well as Archie Bunker, once said about one of his plumber realatives, “You must have fallen into a royal flush!” Nice shop.

-- Bob Kenosha Wi.

All I can say is very nice shop! I would love to stop by if I lived closer, but if I am ever in Springfield you can expect a visit! Thanks for posting, enjoyd the tour.

-- A hammer dangling from a wall will bang and sound like work when the wind blows the right way.

<<faint>> khop… would you adopt me? or at least could I claim to be a brother? Very well thought out plan and very organized…. now get out there and lets see some chips and dust fly…. get that thing dirty!

When my wife asks what I want for Christmas … I’ll just link to your shop pictures.

The shop is beautiful. I am quite curious about the Protonix™ mat. I’ve collected my share of loot from drug reps over the years but never such a conversation piece. Please share its story.

Thanks,

-Cameron

Incredible. Bathroom, refrigerator, TV, microwave, coffee maker…throw a mattress onto the workbench and I’d never go into the house.

-- Measure twice, then try to figure out which one was right.

Wow.

You really ought to do a video to walk us through what you have, exactly, and your thoughts about it.

A shop that looks like yours didn’t get whipped up on a whim. You’ve obviously put a lot of time and effort into organization, decisions, revisions, and purchases. I’d love to get a bit of color commentary on all of it, if you get that bored.

Just beautiful.

Look up “shop” in the dictionary and the pictures won’t be any finer than what you’ve put together there!
