Title: My Workshop
Post by: Braz on September 09, 2007, 11:46:56 PM
I said in "my first calls for sale" post that I would put up some pictures of my workshop. We recently moved and we are in the city limits. I was unable to build a large workshop without going the permit process. And since I still have a septic tank, I knew that the permit would not be approved for anything very large. So, trying to make the best of it, I put in a "Tuff Shed". It is only 10x12, but that is all I can put in without a permit. I hope to get another one maybe next year, that I can put the table saw and miter saw in. That would open up a lot of possibilities. But for now, I am pretty content with what I have. My cabinets are all the Lowe's variety. I got the unfinished ones and oiled them, as they are the cheapest.  I have done some rearranging since I took these pictures. I have an extension on the lathe, the scroll saw in on the bench and the grinder is on a stand at the end of the lathe. And the dust collector has been replaced by a large shop vac, which works quite well.
All in all, it is working out pretty well. Here are the pictures. And before anyone says anything, yea, there are a lot of outlets. I thought I may as well put one on each stud and have a lot, rather than want an extra after it is done. The shop is insulated, lined with a 3/8" plywood, walls and ceiling, and has a small air conditioner mounted in the wall. Not sure what I am going to do for heat this winter. I also have 4 double tube four foot fluorescents for light.

That is a very nice shop.  Good storage areas in the cabinnets, and a plenty of bench top room.  I like the electrical outlets, that is the way a shop should have them.

Uhmmmmm, the third outlet on the left is off by an 1/8th of an inch with the rest.  :wo:  It has been my experience there might just be enough play in the screws to adjust it.   :biggrin:


Nice shop Dude!!!  :congrats: :congrats:

Shop?  That is WAY to fancy to be called a shop.  That looks more like a home to me.   :biggrin:   My only thought on the outlets was - there is a man that knows what he is doing.

Good lookin shop! :yoyo: Someday I'll get one put up. Until then, it's a couple a feet space in front of the Yukon in my garage, a couple a extension cords, and the hood of my truck for a table.   :nono:
