shop space

[Phillip]

ok, my new shop space is ready for action. i've posted a bunch of pics, but i didn't make a new category until after i'd posted them. is there any way to move them to the new category? i still need to make a router table, outfeed table, cart for mitre saw, assembly table, etc., etc. but i'm getting to it as fast as humanly possible. thanks for looking.

Phillip,

I think that "Shop Space" is definitely an understatement!!!!! That is an awesome space!!! I think that a newbie like myself would get lost as soon as I turn the corner at that fine lookin' jointer and lathe!8-O 8-O 8-O 8-O 8-O 8-O

When all is out in its place, your shop will be one fine woodworkers paradise.

Congratulations!

Phillip,

Nice shop! I'm guessing by the exit sign and what appears to be a sprinkler system, that ain't your basement.:mrgreen:
I know you are a pro in your day job, did you open your own place?

How many acre's is it ? Seriously, that is a really nice area !

Oh man, I am way too jealous!

i'm lucky to have the space for sure, its about 18' x 50' plus a small storage room and a small bathroom at the far end of the shop. the only drawback is a lack of natural light though i'm adding more fixtures and replacing bulbs and tubes with color corrected ones.

SteveD, i've still got my day job doing millwork. this is a serious night/weekend thing for me. keeping my regular job allows to me to pick and choose the kind of work i want to do here, another luxury. still, the shop needs to be self supporting within 3-4 months. i've got several turning jobs lined up and i wouldn't mind teaching a little as well. i've already had my first "student" (a guy from work) come in and start turning bowls. i've already been there for a couple of hours this morning, its definitely my home away from work.

Hmm, 18x50. During college I lived in a trailer smaller than that 8-O

Apparently the bicycle is for getting around the shop :lol:

Congratulations on your progress.:icon_thum

Wow - thanks for sharing your pics. Must be nice to have all that space...

Phillip, there are still unclaimed fixtures from my store's remodel. 4X4 eight lamp fixtures, currently wired for 277, but I have been told by experts on this forum, that simply replacing the ballast with one appropriate for how your shop is wired should be an easy enough operation.

Nice shop!!! I'm jealous. Mine will only be 16x20 (when it's finished):jealous: .
