10 lbs in a 5 lbs box - my finished shop

Project by uswine posted 117 days ago 1126 views 1 time favorited 22 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I didnt have the ideal space to start … and I wanted a wide selection of tools and equipment …. I think it turned out OK.

The shop started as an open air car port that I walled in using shiplap sideing. I added a 170 sq ft side room with oak floors and cabinets finished with redwood beams and skylights. The main shop area is 25×24 where I added overhead storage and 25” bench that passes through a door to the added room with a Dewalt heavy-duty 12” double-bevel sliding compound miter saw on a mobile stand that slides in and locks in flush and square to the bench next to an 8 ft digital fence.

Pretty much everything is on heavy duty rollers so i can create more space when needed

Great looking shop, the skylights must be great for the natural light. Which part of the world is your shop?

Beautiful shop. I really like the cabinet doors with the strap hinges. Great touch that gives it a look and feel like it’s been around for generations.

You have plenty of space there too. I can only dream of spreading out that far. (If I did I would have a bay I can pull the truck in to work on it out of the sun). Your organization is much better than mine for sure!

And lastly, if that is what you do for shop cabinet doors, I would LOVE to see what you do for non shop projects!

I’m jealous. I still have to make due with a garage shop. It sucks. Still trying to move to a house with some land so I can custom build a separate shop for myself. Great layout my friend
