This was the shop yesterday morning.  A non profit asked if they could hold a photoshoot for low income families of Oakland, CA.

 

 

And this is how it looks this morning...for the moment.  I live and work in an old warehouse.  The living room, over by the windows also holds the hand woodworking tools.  I'm standing in outer parts of the kitchen that is where the car gets parked.  The woodworking machines live to the left, the big photo equipment is stored there as well until needed.  The space is never ever ever the same, it can be completely different in a matter of minutes.

The rolling cart in the foreground holds leather tools as well as cameras, lenses etc.

The line of wine bottles are from recent wine shoots...one of the perks is I have a never ending supply of free top of the line wine.

That space.That light. This is a serious Highlander like loft (on the ground floor). Love the roll aways. Are they repurposed Islands or made?

So now I have shop envy

my study is full of my books, paints & gaming rig, so I have a shelf for my LW stuff & I use the dining table 

so here is my shelf

@Mjolnir.  Made them both.  #1 on the list of how I make money is through commercial photography.  #2 on the list is custom furniture so if it's wood in my place, then I made it.

Thanks.

Oh man, that is so inviting. Wow, just gorgeous.  Great pic, I feel like I'm right there in the moment.  I  think the first thing  I would build would be  stage and wire it up with a PA and stage lighting.  Imagine the possibilities after that.

You're killing me.  That just isn't right.  I'm sorry but you need to pick one and drop the other -- awesome living/work space or unlimited free top shelf wine, your pick.  My musician buddies and I used to say the same thing all the time about Vince Gill -- you can't both be a monster guitar player and have the voice of angel -- gotta pic one and drop the other.  lol

I'm loving this thread....

So did I miss the maid service? Everyone's shop is so 'clean' with the exception of Leathersmyth's and my own.

Show of hands... who cleaned up first before the pictures were taken? 

Ha! That is my place clean!!!   You should see it when i am in full production mode!!

LOL  Don't worry about that, we all started out doing exactly what you are doing. I know I did for years  I know a guy who works out of a pop up trailer, and he makes some great pieces and does some wonderful tooling.

I bet your work is really good despite the small space

My wife has always said I shouldn't worry if mine was as big as others'... but... I could use bigger shop at this stage in my life.

AND I have natural light envy as well seeing MakerUnknowns space.... my dream shop will have south facing windows and if possible sky lights to get as much natural light in as possible.... and anything is better than my basement spaces.
