Kazi Kuni Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm setting up to build a new workshop and am interested in knowing more about the essentials like ventilation, dust control, lighting and outlets? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Shop size: 45'x21'x12' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 There are quite a few build threads recently. Check em out. Without specific questions, there isn't really a place to start answering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have an easier time asking specific questions about each topic you need info about. Full books have been written about your question. Like this one http://www.amazon.ca/Setting-Up-Shop-Practical-Designing/dp/1561588385 i have that book and its a great resource for starting out. I would start there.

TerryMcK Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 There is a great book called "Setting Up Shop" by Sandor Nagyszalanczy from Taunton press. Check it out - I refer to it from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trip Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 No real advice, but some inspiration to help you think out of the box... http://www.finewoodworking.com/workshop/video/video-tour-of-richard-ciupkas-underground-workshop.aspx BTW: you’re going to have to do the heavy lifting yourself --- no one is going to design your shop for you… Anyway, you wouldn’t want them to – it’s your shop… Do some reading, search the web, get some layouts together, then ask for input… Same for electric, lighting, dust collection, etc.. There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of threads covering all aspects of shop design and implementation… Google is your friend --- members simply won’t respond in detail until then... Sorry, but that’s the way it is… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
