Show Off Your Shop

[fredbelknap]

Les you get my vote for the the prettiest shop . Sometimes I have a dream about mine looking something like that then I get jerked back to reality when I look at mine. Kudos to you, it takes a lot of work to get a shop that nice.

[brburns]

Les, how the heck do you get a wood shop THAT clean?!?

[bch47]

Thought I would add my shop to the list. This was right after I got it set up and it hasn't been this clean since then. I guess that is a good thing. Means I have been doing lots of work in the shop.

NICE stuff, Brian!!

I have the exact same heater! And your air conditioner looks familiar, too.

You got a crawlspace under that thing or did you run the DC lines in the slab?

Looks great!

[fredbelknap]

Brian that is a real nice shop. The drywall lift looks like it takes up a lot of room. I have seen the time I would love to have one.

Ran pvc in the concrete for dc. Bil told me one thing he hated was tripping over hose on floor in his shop. My table saw is stationary and all other large tools are on wheels. Just roll them over to the table saw and hook up dust collector and power (both 120 and 220 v). The drywall lift is no longer in the garage. Need to decide if I will ever need it again, but it was definitely handy.

COOL shop!

Your shop is way too clean Les....lol. Very cool shop. I would love to see some closeups of the two handsaws up on that shelf if you have some. That looks pretty interesting. Are they intarsia?

Here's a close up of the Hard Maple and Black Walnut hand saw.

Well, crap. I had a long post complimenting the shops of Les and Brian but I hit a wrong key and poof!...it's gone.

So, I'll just say that both of your shops are very, very nice. They are well set up, well lit and well organized, not to mention clean.

As someone else wrote, it takes a lot of work and dedication to keep a woodworking shop looking clean. In Les' case especially, since he is so prolific with his turning projects. Even though his shop is immaculate, it is definitely a "go" shop.

Thanks for showing, guys.

Les,

Love all the stuff hanging on the walls in your shop - REALLY cool

Brian - Nice shop.

[Safetyboy]

Well, my shop just had the 2x a year cleaning (spring & fall), so now's a good time to take photos! Here's what my 1/2 of the garage looks like these days.

Hand tool workbench (new this winter):


Tablesaw and outfeed table (table base also new this winter):


Router table, mitre saw, & shop-made cabinets:


Sharpening station / paint cupboard:


Power-tool bench + tool cabinet:


Dust collector & lumber storage:


Jointer & planer move into the other 1/2 of the garage when I need them.


It's a fun shop, I love spending time there, hopefully one day I'll have a dedicated space.

[Beamer]

Lookin' great, kev!

I really like the bench - can you give us a nickel tour of all the features? I see a knee vise, deadman, a couple hold fasts and a bench hook. Did you build it?

[Safetyboy]

Yes, Jason, I did build the bench - I'd been coveting one for some time. I'll give you the full tour sometime soon in a post of its own.

[fredbelknap]

Nice

[Ruffnek]

Nice shop, Kevin and a very nice bench. I'll be looking forward to the thread on it.

[deepsplinter]

Yeah, I wanna hear more (all) about that workbench.

[sawduster]

Great set-up Kevin. How are you liking that Leg Vise? I really love mine, great depth and didn't cost an arm and a leg.

[Leo Voisine]

Nice Shop Kevin,

Yeah I like that bench also.

[gomer]

Just a garage! All my hand tools are in their place in the big blue cabinets.

[Leo Voisine]

Hey there Kyle -- Nice shop there.

Are thoss Lista cabinets -- I am jealous.
