Title: Let's see your workshop
Post by: bfeist on August 04, 2013, 05:03:18 PM
Everyone please post photos of your building space. I'm sure between us we have some pretty great innovations to make the best use out of a tight workspace.

Jack inspired me to tidy up (mainly because it bugs him so much). Here's my workshop at its cleanest (and emptiest--my car is full of planes right now).

Some neat ideas in this workshop:
- Sliding tabletop allows band saw to slide out so it doesn't conflict with the shelf for ripping long lengths (pic)
- Main workbench supports don't go all the way to the floor. This was supposed to make sweeping up easy but I've filled my floor with tools (pic)
- Plastic containers doubled the space in my main storage shelf making everything easy to find in the process (pic).

No chance. You have a table in the center of the room! I only wish. I can only build tiny foamies now.

Nice photos Ed; I gotta go wash my eyes out now.

My "workshop" is about 24' by 12', and is currently a huge mess.

I clean it out in autumn, and fill the walls and ceiling with planes for the winter.

The 8' by 5' table in the center of the room is where I build and repair.

Really, Ed!

What if you drop an X-acto knife?

What if you drop some hot solder?

Picture this:

A basement room 11'x6', 7'ceiling.  Put in a horizontal work surface then add a thousand tools, 25 transmitters, 40 airplanes and 10 pounds of saw dust.... oh, yes, and me.  Nothing to be proud of; it would be a waste of a picture but it works for me.
I have not quite met my wife's objective of "no airplane stuff outside of the workshop".  Heck, when all the kids were home 10 years ago we used to have 13 race bikes in the living room.  What's wrong with a few airplanes in the basement? ;D
