My new shop is getting finished (I know that a shop is never finished but alsways is in transition)

Bert, looking good, keep us posted as your shop progresses.

-- Charlie............Only time will tell if it was time well spent.

Nice job! Looks to be a nice size, too. Gonna insulate it? Heat?

This is looking pretty good. You are going to have a really nice shop space in which to work when you are done.

Keep us posted on the progress. It is fun to watch a shop’s evolution.

Yes the shop will be fully insulated and I shall have an air/conditioner heater and a wood stove so that ii can be used all year long.
The air compressor and dust collector will installed outside for noise and dust isolation

-- Bert

I’m envious. Looks like it will be great!

Your concrete slab looks like it is 8” thick, am I imagining that? Or do you have access to free concrete supply?

I don’t think I have ever seen walls being framed and raised in this area without sheathing (keeps them square and you eliminate the lateral bracing), is that common in your area?

So many possibilities in a brand new building!
You could run your Dust Collection piping in the attic space, and keep your ceilings full height…

All the best!

The slab is 6.00” thick.
I am going to lay all the dust collection piping and the wire to connect the machines on the floor and then I shall build a floor on the top of it with 3/4 tongue and grove plywood on the top of everything.
Everything will be removable, just in case..

-- Bert

If you are planning on having a lathe, I’d stick with the concrete. It will vibrate even the best of plywood. My thickness sander vibrates as well. I’d give a lot for a concrete floor. I speak from experience. My 2 cents.
Three cheers for the heat and AC. Was just out in my shop with the AC on. Outside temp: 89.

-- Bruce from Central New York...now, if you'll pardon me, I have some sawdust to make.

justfine the sheathing is being installed as we speak and the framing is secured to the slab in a very effective way This building is not going anywhere
