In watching various YouTube woodworking videos, almost all of them (amateur and professional) seem to be in a garage. Sometimes one car, sometimes two. My shops have always been in a basement. Besides sometimes having to haul stuff up and down steps (one did have an outside entrance), I have enjoyed the heating, cooling, and privacy. I understand that some parts of the country do not typically have basements. I understand the advantage of opening the door for fresh air access, or moving big things to the driveway. Or some people can't afford the space or zoning for a separate building. In our last move, we looked at houses for 9 months before we found one with either a suitable unfinished basement or stand alone building. So, where's your shop?

I've been working on a project to reorganize and refit my workshop over the last several weeks. Here are the results along with the new ShopSmith Mark 7 that replaced most of my stationary tools. Panning clockwise from the far right corner. While it's true that a project like this can never be truly finished, this is better than it's been in a long time. .40

We got fun and games We got everything you want If you want to play. Tool Chest is completed. And sitting in it's new home. A look at the rest of this little box Most furniture has a plywood back, not this thing. Thems raised panels, in Pine I can carry the "tote" over to the bench, with the toys, er, tools I need. That handle on the backsaw sticks up just enough, that the tote can only go so far. Five saws are in the til. Inside area is 25" long. A jointer, three jack planes, and three smoothers reside in the cramped Plane til. the rest of the planes? reside on the "Ready Rack". Another look? This little place is MY workshop. Even hired a new crew to clean it up. Igor was fired for using my broom as Transportation. I hired his three brothers....Larry-gor, Curly-gor, and Moe-gor. Seem to do a decent job.

I have my shop in my dry (most of the time) basement. What have others done to stop noise traveling up into the living quarters and keeping dust out? I have a good dust collection system venting indoors. I think a door sweep on the basement door would be a great idea. I think keeping shop clothes in the shop and clothes also would be great idea. Should I put insulation in the celing then drywall it up? If so what type of insulation? If not do I just use drywall (where possible)?
