Popular Post Pauley Posted June 21, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted June 21, 2019 My shop is a small,15x15 area. No windows. I did clean up, a lot, before the photos. Don’t know what else to say...it’s small. Al B, p_toad, Cal and 5 others 8 Quote

Al B Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 The shop looks great Paul. Should have left a little sawdust just for effect. Looks like you're ready to do a little turning. FlGatorwood, Cal, HARO50 and 1 other 4 Quote

Had to,pick up and move it many times... I had to paint those "Arthur Murray" dancing footprints on the floor to remember how to get thru the shop. Serious, Here's something I made to help when working on projects so I don't need to move them as often. It's an oversized "Lazy Susan" that can be placed on the floor or on saw horses in the only open space I have in my shop. I sized it so it can spin 360° and made a pin to lock it in several locations. Cal, Artie, p_toad and 2 others 5 Quote

Popular Post Al B Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) My shop is a 20 X 22 detached garage. Several years ago I started building my kitchen cabinets and soon discovered there wasn't enough space to store the few cabinets I had built. Required a major change in my building and installation plans. Edited June 22, 2019 by Al B Artie, Cal, FlGatorwood and 3 others 6 Quote

Popular Post Smallpatch Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted June 24, 2019 Also guys the three things hardly ever mentioned having in a shop is what I finally put in my last shop....knowing this one will be the last shop I will ever build has a microwave, a sink and a commode...starting out, it was just a 30 x 50.....the last shop I had just finished right before we retired was a 40 x 60 and it was that perfect size but no sink or commode.. so after we sold out and moved to the lake I thought a 30 x 50 would be big enough cause I wanted to travel instead of working in the shop all the time.....wrong wrong....a couple of trips across America and I had enough of traveling so within three months after I finished the 30 x 50 I began adding 12 more foot so now its 30 x 62. Even with me doing all the building when one starts adding to the original cost and effort so that the extra 12 foot on the end to make it still look like it was all done at the same time doubled to original cost...The sink and microwave gets used the most but I didn't really think how many times in each day I have to wash something off my beautiful hands and fingers...and age adds extra trips to the commode...Actually I don't like a leaking commode so that is why I go in there many times each day... After I had put the forms up then dug the trenches I thought why not go ahead and add the pipes so if some day I might want to add the sink and commode all the water lines and drain lines will already be there...smartest thing I ever did..... I ran the sewer lines to the septic system but I just run the sink drain out side to the flower bed...Another thing I didn't even think of was run some electric lines and exhaust pipes out in the middle of the concrete floor in a place or two for the machines that always have to be in the middle of the room...so yes I have to step over a few obstacles here and there but hey that's about the only exercise I ever get....

No wife wants you cleaning your dirty greasy hands off in her sink, or tracking the sawdust through the house to the toilet. Even have HOT water via a 5 gallon tank under the sink. It is a MUST have people.... p_toad, Gerald, Cal and 3 others 5 1 Quote
