This was my first shop, it was a detached 10’ X 12’ storage shed, so needless to say the space was cramped. I put my table saw on a stand I built with casters so it was easily moved out, so I could rip big pieces. The first picture is what the shed looked like before and the rest of the pictures are the after. I left my storage shed for a 2 car garage all to myself so it was a major upgrade. I will post more projects in the near future, thanks for looking.

Curtis, I would say you made very good use of the space you had to work with….but I’m sure you are happy to have more room. My shop is two 20’X20’ carports end to end giving me 20’X40’ and I still bump into tools…

you’ve turned that into a nice tidy little shop but if less is more then think how much more more would be

Curtis, congrats on the up grade.
I went from a one car garage that I rented when I lived in my apartment. I then bought a house and utilized my 2 car garage solely for woodworking, and now I am running out of space in there. So I bought the property next door, so that hopefully in the next 2-5 years I can build a custom shop.
It seems no matter how much space you have eventually it’s never big enough, haha!
Enjoy your new work space!!

Aaahhh, we all remember our first shop. They hold special places in our hearts. Mine was itty bitty, so cramped and small but I loved it. Must be awesome to have such a nice upgrade!

Yeah the storage shed is a little cramped. When you enter your new shop post it under the workshop tab on your home page. I look forward to your posting.

Good luck with the new shop project. These tin storage sheds here in Texas get plenty Hot in the summer and a darn site chilly in the winter. I hope to say good by to my shed someday soon. Don’t forget the A/C…. haha

I just bought a 10×16 building painted red and white and looks like a small version of the old farm barns, it is tight but i have made the most of it. My harley takes up alot of my space so i have put it next to shed with cover, now if i could find a place for my kids jeep and bikes i will be cooking with gas.
Have your say...
