new work surface

[Guest]

Ok here is the workshop, it is about 14'x14'. I know I'm very lucky to have such a space in my basement.

Pic 0817 is my 25 year old Craftsman workbench with my new granite top.

Pic 0818 is my staining table with my lathe tool sharpening system on it.

Pic 0819 is the misplaced freezer that my son is supposed to take....gotta get that out of my shop

Pic 0820 here you can see my poor lathe sitting on the floor....it will go where the freezer is if I can get my son to come get the darn thing.

Pic 0821 various other power tools and my stain and finish cabinet.

Pic 0822 look at all that stain on the floor! It is 60% off at Tandy now....being discontinued.

Pic 0823 do you think my scrap bin is too full? Have to get to some of those smaller projects.....

Pic 0824 hide table....and just for you Beeze....see all those boxes under the hide table? Those are seat pans. So be careful of what you wish for.

Pic 0825 the required shop vac.

That's it my whole shop

I must admit my Ipod didn't make the pictures....oh well mine has pictures on it not tunes. But I have to admit that I'm a bit concerned about the hand grenade hanging from the shelf....mmm. That must be for a real bad day!

I like your shop. well laid out and very efficient.....as long as you don't pull the pin :biggrin:

My new shop space once it is done will be 10x10 with rubber tiled floor, drywalled and insulated, a 3x6 workbench, a sewing machine under the window, floor to ceiling storage shelves, computer, stereo, fax, fridge and phone, a clicker, a moulding press lots of lights various benchtop tools, a couple of stools, an airbrush and finishing hood and maybe me if I don't gain anymore weight..... well a feller can dream right?

Awesome shop guys. David, so that workbench is sturdy enough to handle the granite, apparently. But there is not that much give? I have one, and never thought about it. THANKS!!! :beer:

welder,

No give at all I love tooling on it....very very solid.

and Jordan....the heck with the dry wall, I'd be moving in that room right NOW! Very nice shop space.

I'll bet if we all showed up at David's place we could get that bench properly messy in no time...nice job, guy. Fact is, I like 'em all, gives me something to think about...kitchen table's getting a little crowded...

Dave - yeah the grenade was a desk accessory at my "yob" but i got the sesne it was stressing people out - especially when i would play with it when i was on the phone...ha!!

have all of my handtools in a craftsman tool box (6 drawers ) to the right on the bench and a host of other crap that sits behind me - 2 Bosses, a Singer 29-4, an Econosew, a drill press, compressor for my airbrush rig, belt sanders, two motorcycles, motorcycle lifts, rollaways tool boxes, etc.. if my wife would stop using her bay in the garage (not likely) I could spread out a wee bit and have a real shop - but for now - I "keep to my side"....well, for the most part anyway.

who thought using (wasting) a garage space for a car was a good idea?
