If you remember way back to the first shop crawl then you know my shop. It is nothing special as there were other more admirable shops on that tour. It is a 12 x 20 stall of a three car garage. There are pics of the construction in my gallery. I have 220v near the front of the shop and regular outlets every 4 ft. on the wall.,at about 4 foot height. Since the ceiling is 12" high, I use ALL of the walls for storage. In view of my recent super-clean this past weekend and the requests for how I set up shop, here are some pics:
This is the door to my shop from the rest of the garage.
When you enter through that door you are faced with this up high. This is my FWW/Woodsmith collection with random high storage for items that I use infrequently.
Below the magazines is my Jet belt/disc sander and some pipe clamp storage. The second bucket contains turning tools that need a new storage place (after I bought Dave O's turning tools).
Turning to the right, at the back of the shop is my lathe. As you can see I have some tools storage below. The white box contains wood for pens and bottle stoppers The box on top hold various jigs and chucks. The cabinet above is m parts storage.And the bike is my triathlon bike. I hung the Airshield I got from Woodguy75 on the seat while the battery charges. I also store a Sawsall underneath the lathe.
Above the bike is a shelf for storage of my Dovetail jig, my original TS fence and my hazardous liquids. My extra bike wheels also hang down from it.
Inside that cabinet is my parts storage, which took up 2 hours sorting through this weekend.
To the right of the door is my drill press and lower storage cabinet. The wall behind it hold racks for various tools.
To the right of my drill press is my main workbench. I built this many years ago in VA. There is storage underneath. The drawers contain my files and rasps, my chisels, nails for nail guns, and the cabinets house routers. Behind it you can see my Delta bandsaw.
The other side of the bench has open shelves for nail guns, drawer slides, etc.
Here is a long shot of the left side of the shop, there are 3 clamp racks and router bit storage here. My table saw is near the door and had a router table built into it. so storage near there is handy.
Here is a close up of the bit storage and clamp storage. I lowered the bit storage this weekend. The pipe is from the dust collector coming up later.
At the top of the left wall is more wood storage. Can't let this space go to waste. I sorted all this wood this weekend!
This is my custom-made Festool cabinet.It is on wheels and the dust collector is built into the back where there are four more trays. The MFT table comes off so I can use it outside, and there is a small tray of the left where I store my pen turning mandrels and accessories.
This is the side bench that runs along the wall next tot the Festool cabinet.
Above the side bench are these cabinets. with shelving between them.
This is the wood storage over the cabinets. I sorted this too this weekend. There is a dust pipe running through this.
The right-hand cabinet contains router table parts and large bit storage. Also in there is my Golden Clamp award from the first shop crawl (thanks Bas).
The left cabinet contains grippers, tenoning jig, newly acquired vacuum press pump, clamps.
Each lower cabinet has two slide out trays. This one has a vice, my mortiser, some nail guns and some hand plain boxes. The other side has my grinder and Tormek.
I keep some stuff on the top of the side bench.
This is the left side of the bench top with towel dispenser, glue up materials and bench top spindle sander. The stuff in from is mostly pen kit stuff and tools to be sorted.
This is my Penn State Dust collector which I got off Craigslist years ago for a steal. It is located to the left of the side bench and near the garage door for easy emptying.
This is my PM table saw with router table of the left. The bag on top is for the vacuum press and needs to find a good storage place.
This is my Joiner/Planer and sits right in front of the door. I roll it outside to use it. There is dust collection on the far wall.
Over the door is MORE wood storage as I cannot afford to leave any space unused. BTW I insulated the door and there is and AC unit over the shop door in the first picture to keep the room cool or warm depending on the season.
I store my sheet goods on a rack on the other side of the shared shop wall.
Finally, I have more storage in front of where I park my car. The wood in front is to be burned in the fire pit. Behind it is a rolling small scrap bin, and shelve storing more wood and burls. I also have a compressor on the bottom left which runs through a conduit in the wall. This keeps the noise in the shop down when the compressor cycles.
Hope this helps. And there is one more big tool in the shop, a Hawk scroll saw and I need Sawduster to contact me as I owe you money!
