Took things apart in order to put in a sub panel with 100 amp feed and 220v. Getting ready for the SawStop.

Shiny always looks good and the sooner you get your shop up and running the sooner things get built. Lookin good…....

Coming together nicely…good job.

This looks like a pretty nice shop to me. You have it well organized and I always enjoy seeing windows in a shop. You have put together a good looking tool collection and the Sawstop will be a nice addition as well.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed taking a tour of your shop.

I thought shiny was bad until Jen convinced me I was never going to have time to make a tool box so we went out and bought one and now my shop is far more organized and I can actually work on fun stuff. A good looking shop space, enjoy!

I love the pinch clamp in the big electrical junction box/fuse box, that keeps that fat wire in place

curious minds need to know why ?

That’s a shop with style. It looks like you have organized it well and have lots of nice tools and equipment. BTW, welcome to Lumberjocks.

Thanks for the comments. I really need to post some newer better quality picks. The clamp was used temporarily because the weight of the cable risked pulling it back into the crawl space.

Thanks fella’s. I am fortunate.

Smitty, I am bothered by my shop in that I covet that vintage quality to your shop. I am not quite sure how to get it. I don’t know what it is more metrosexual the terracotta paint or the thought of re-painting just for the looks.

I definitely plan on moving the gladiator cabinets and replacing the tool till.

my workbench is going where the maple dining table sits now.

Looks great. Nice space and tools, cant go wrong with that.

And I’m ready for improved lighting, a quality window and enclosed cabinets like yours… :-)

You’ve got a great workspace. Stay flexible, make changes that work for you. Sometimes I wish my space was done, but then I realize I like tinkering.

Lighting- in the bay that the workshop is in I changed 2 fluorescent T12 fixtures the had either the magnetic or electronic ballast, can’t remember – the old ones that hum. I put in 4 bulb fixtures and put 2700 k T8s. This made a HUGE difference. I like the warmer light. I know it is not as brighter or true to color or whatever. But I really like it.

Didn’t add fixtures just changed them out.
