New Layout for my shop
« on: May 08, 2010, 10:21:22 pm »
So I had a galley kitchen style layoyt in my shop and I was running out of room fast! After a little configuration and ALOT of clean up I figured now would be the ideal time to take a quick picture before it looked like a disaster again. So here is my new layout, lots of room and lots of room for future expansion. The two car garage is slowly being dominated ... shhhhh don't tell my wife  ;D

That looks like a palace to me lol.  If you saw my "corner of the kitchen" shop, you know what I mean.  I'm jealous!  Nice work!

You only think you had a 'challenge'!
Try stuffing almost the same amount of equipment in a ONE car garage that has to be used by a female who is very picky about her car and garage! (no not wife!)
Everything I use is either on casters, a hoist, mounted to the joists or hinged to the wall!
One thing I will say though is it forces me to keep order and keep it clean!

Nice job on your solutions!!!

A clean workshop is a workshop not being used so go ahead and make a mess in your workshop.

my motto is:  "no sawdust on the floor no money in the bank"
i always figured a clean shop mean no projects to do.
last time i cleaned was to have my woodworkers guild monthly meeting and caught a rash about a clean shop lol.

Don't worry about the comments on your clean shop ...................... mine looks like it has never been used but its because I work in a Dirty, oily Machine Shop for a living so I make it a practice to clean up when I'm done in my shop. Your shop looks great have fun in it.

My shop is a ancient one car detached garage.  When I clean it out I just open the doors to the alley and fire up my leaf blower and let the chips fly!  I do make sure the neighbors don't have any clothes on the line first though.

I wouldn't know what to do with all of that room. Sorry guys but my shop is so small that if I didn't keep it cleaned up it would be a safety hazard in short order. LOL
