BillyJack Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Looks like you have space to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Man i don't know what you talking about with the space looking tight between assembly and router table. At that picutre all I could think was "Dang that's a lot of open space....". Your space looks great, i really like the flooring and wall look it looks comfortable and spacious. I'd probably have crammed myself into a corner, i like feeling hugged but my shop aka bumping into stuff all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legenddc Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 As someone in a 150 square foot shop, I'm so jealous of all the space you have. Things always take longer than we think they will and, as you said, we tend to forget how far we've come. Your workshop has come together very nicely and it seems like a great place to crank out some projects in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous shop wasn't much larger than that, and I'm still pinching myself with the new one.

I definitely had a few stages where everything ended up clustered in either the middle or that currently empty corner. It's been good that almost everything is on wheels so I could play tool-tetris. Sliding paper cutouts around a drawing is no substitute for being in the space. I think the only thing that hasn't changed orientation or location is the workbench, since I built the window around its intended location. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I also just realized why it looks like there is so much space. Where is your outfeed table? Also one 1 workbench? You'll need to get started on that split top roubo. . I also like the looks of what ever project is on your assembly table looks interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently in the form of a couple sheets of plywood leaning against the garage door. Thinking I'll do something similar to Marc's. I've got a black locust log sitting in my pile out front too if I wanted to go full-Cremona. The English bench has been working well though, even if it's way too big. I was just working on some half-lapped picture frames. On 1/4/2023 at 9:55 AM, Chestnut said: I also like the looks of what ever project is on your assembly table looks interesting. Prototyping the leg assembly for a small trestle/refectory-style walnut breakfast table. I'm currently going back and forth between how much structural detail I want versus letting the woodgrain be the primary interest point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonPacific Posted January 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Small update, I got my non-plumbed sink amd water station setup. The sink is just connected to an old 5gal jug that I can dump out when it gets full. The "tap" is a cheap rechargable usb water pump that has pretty decent flow. Unfortunately local laws consider all water generated inside a garage space to be blackwater, so no options for a legal greywater system, even though this will only be for hand washing, coffee/tea, and water-based finishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I french drained mine which is pretty much invisible. This could ease the burden of disposal at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
