Nice shop, plenty of room.
Since you’re in FL I guess you don’t have to worry about the challenge to heat a space like that.
I wish I had the cash to justify renting a small place to setup shop.

Thanks for the shop post. You have wonderful place to work and it is great having a lumber supplier next door. I really like your idea on the dedicated router set up. I was contemplating building another station or two for this same purpose but simply replacing the top is a vast improvement.

Thanks for the post and the inspiration as well.

I’m really impressed with your shop, you managed to thin it down to everyting you need and nothing you don’t. A true sign of someone who knows his business.

That is an outstanding shop – you can really tell the difference between a woodworking hobby shop and a professional setup. Having seen your projects it is understandable why your shop contributes to your fantastic work.

I am also amazed how clean it is.

Nice space. I am hoping for even 10ft. ceilings in my next shop. Right now I’m pushing 7’10”. Not a lot of room to swing 4×8 sheets around. How fortunate that your hardwood supplier is right across the street as well. And great organization. Right on.
