how many times do you think ''THE SHOP'' was ''REDONE'' to have ''EVOLVED'' to this???
to think of all the time, energy and money spent to get here... that gives me a headache...
oh what I could have used that money on that was spent on the prototypes....

12'' deep shelves sure gave me a lot floor space and not much of anything in front of something else like w/ deep normal cabs...
way more usable wall space...
easy to find storage... nothing is ''buried'' behind something else...
of all of it the equipment chase that takes even more out of the way and gives me ''MORE floor space...
serious organization...
the doors (when closed) go a long way in keeping things cleaner ...

how I did the door wheels..

they are SGD wheels riding on a length of ½x¾ angle iron...
 

clamp on guide and 2 adjustable sled.. 1st aide kit..

 

the other end of the bench...
 

drawer contents...
 

 

the wood box has the chisels for the Bulldog...
 

 

 

 

 

 

home grown stand for the tile saw and lathe
 
 

  the wheels...

another gain in the small shop is to cover the windows, use the wall space and go w/ operable skylights...

better ventilation and increased security... (the skylights get security bars)..

Must be nice to have a "real" shop! 

 

Basement shops are a totally different animal!

this satellite shop is 14x16....

Hey Stick some good ideas there, but I have to pass on the bared skylight....we have a good Sheriff in this county. And even then we have the Castle Law too, plus open carry.

so go w/ the sky lights and hold the bars...

Stick with the winter temp where you are do you notice temperature variances due to the skylights?

not really...

no they are triple glazed...
