OCtoolguy Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Very nice set up Travis. It does go to prove though that no matter how much space you have, it will never be enough. Ray Oscar Myer and Travis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that old table saw and I like backstories so it was perfect. The whole shop tour thing was great! Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacques45 Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) The first pic is from today. The others from a few months ago. Small, cramped, cluttered, and dusty, but it's mine. When we built our house, I had the extra bay built with a wall and door between it and where we park our cars. I built the floor furniture. Everything but the two work benches (far wall and far left) are on casters. I put my bench grinder on my table saw when I shape my intarsia pieces. Most all my projects are scrolling, with an occasional honeydo for the house. I give the shop and tools a good cleaning between most projects.

Rockytime Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Thanks for your post Travis. It's fun to see what others are doing. I don't quite understand. Over 3000 views and over 2000 members and so few workshops. Amazing as this is the friendliest forum I know of and I belong to several. I love it here.

Woodmaster1 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) My second shop at the woodworking club. It is the adult daycare center. Just a few pictures hopefully it shows where I go at least once a week. Sorry about the previous photos. I corrected the problem.

oldhudson Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wow. I don't know what I should be more impressed with? The size - it's larger than the lot my house sits on. The wealth of equipment - I counted 3 band saws THREE. The cleanliness - my goodness do you have paid staff that comes in and cleans the shop every night? Beyond belief, maybe all the pics are "photoshopped" meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodie Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Adult daycare. I hope someone places me in that kind of daycare someday. I have never seen a place like that before. Is it a community effort or co-op? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmaster1 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 No staff to clean it is you made the mess you cleanup the mess. It's stays really clean considering it gets used by 20--30 members a day. The club has 300 members but 35 is the most that has been in their at a time. 4 hours ago, oldhudson said: Wow.

I have never seen a place like that before. Is it a community effort or co-op? No it is a club open to anyone for a $50 a year membership fee. It was built by an industrialist who likes woodworking. The club operates from membership fees, lunches and wood sales. I came upon it by a former woodworking student I had the first year I taught. I have been a member for 2 1/2 years and the club is 11years old. meflick and George Woodie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarud Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Howdy guys/gals,, just found your site recently. I know this is an old thread but I enjoyed looking at everyone else's shops and thought that I would post a short video of mine. Hope the link works.

Hughesy Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 This my small workshop 3.6 x 1.8 mtrs 1. This the outside. 2. Small workbench and battery powered tools. 3. Right side is my scroll saw and wood lathe. 4.Left hand side is my work bench for gluing and finishing. I have a air brush and wood burning. 5. I have a flow over bench in my garage for thicknesseer and oscillating sander. My wife has said no more tools I am running out of space.

Scrappile Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Nice little shop. When my wife and I move, I want a little shop away from the house. I don't need big, no more big project for me. It is surprising what a person can do in a small shop. Mine is what was to be a half of a small 2 car garage. Maybe 17' x 12". I've build a 15" kayak, and a 12" hull for a sail boat in it. You just have to stay pretty skinny. Hughesy, Steve Curtis and OCtoolguy 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I like my shed, nice and compact. "All Australian boys need a shed", a line from a song. Have you still go the boat? I would like to build a boat but no room. we are only 10 minute walk to the river and the same to the pacific ocean. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I had to give up the kayak. My back just could not take the sitting the way you have to sit in a kayak. But it was worth the build. I enjoyed it a lot. The 12 sail boat hull I still have. Needs one more sanding and then paint. Only thing left to build it the mast, boom and sail. I started it over 10 years ago,,,,, think I will ever finish? Edited April 18, 2019 by Scrappile OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
