My new shop!

Elton

your shop is great, I just added on to mine also but am not ready to move in yet, I will try to post pics when I do. How wide did you make your work bench? I use plan drawers like you but they are 34"wide and I am wondering if i make my bench that wide if it will limit the available reach to tools on the at back of bench.

Congratulations on a great space

Great looking shop, Elton! I'm definitely jealous! And an 8'x 8' cutting table?! I'm with Bruce....that's incredible! I love the blueprint drawers too...no more patterns nailed to the walls! WOW!

Thanks for sharing.....

Very nice shop Elton. When we bought our house it had an 800sq.ft shop with it. I had it all planned out on how I would set it up. Then I started remodeling the house so now it's full of remodeling junk and my stamp bench and sewing machine are shoved off in a corner where I work. Only problem with a shop that nice is that you'll never see the house you bought. Congrats on a beautiful setup. RW

Dink, My bench is 24" deep. My map drawers are under my cutting table because they wouldn't have fit underneath the bench.

Wood, The realtor kept bugging me cause I wouldn't say anything about the house. I told him that as long as it was warm in the winter and had a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen that was all I needed cause the shop would be all that matters!!

Elton your shop rocks. I am in the process of moving into a shop about half the size of yours and this give me some great ideas.

Your work space layout is great and I like the way your tool rack looks. Thanks for sharing.

As some of you may know, Candace and I bought a place in May. I told her when we were shopping that it had to have a building on site that would be suitable for my shop. Well...here are a few pics. The shop is 24' X 24' with 10'6" ceilings. I have 14, 4' flourescent fixtures with daybright tubes. You'll notice there are no windows which I would like to have somedays, but really like the fact that people that stop in can't snoop through them to see what's inside for them to steal if they are so inclined!! My cutting table is 8 X 8 and has substantial storage underneath, including a set of blueprint/map drawers for patterns.

Nice setup Elton!

Why do you skive on plate glass?

I always skive on glass if I have a lot of it to do. It's easier to do on a nice flat, smooth surface and easier on the blade.
