Nice work. I love seeing the work of talented people.

Seems like the workspace may paint yourself into a corner?

Unless you have OCD cleaning and organizing habits like I do.

I dunno, I think you shoulda built it a bit heavier.
That suckers got higher load limits than our spring roads.

Looks good.

Looking Great

Now you can weld a vice to it

Got a new vice coming. I picked up a new Wilton 5 1/2 " general purpose. It should be here any day.

Just about everything and anything. This is just the tool room of my main shop and garage. It will be used for woodworking, metal working, gunsmithing, cars, tractors, you name it.

You need ramps on both sides ... then you can drive the tractor onto the benches and work sitting underneath

Looking good

Looks good, A lot more storage you have now. Label drawers and doors. I need that, getting older ya know.

I'm thinking about staining it golden oak. I think it would look better, and be less blotchy with plywood.

I am following. I need ideas for my shop!

Looks like it took some time but it is solid as a rock I bet and it will be a great help in getting things done as time goes on Thanks for the post and the pictures I am not planning any updates but maybe your post will give me some things I can do in my workspace also

Awesome start on your shop. Good to see that I am not the only one to plan ahead and bury the pipes for vacuum and power in the floor. My shop is smaller, and it is nice to not work around pipes and cords. One hint: put T's where each comes up (with a sliding gate and an adapter for a vacuum hose). Another thing I did was to put a remote (cordless) switching system on each machine for the vacuum. Let us see what the finished shop looks like, cause you got a great start.

Old masters Spanish oak would look good with the metal tops

I looked at that per your recommendation. While it would look nice, it's too dark for the area. I'll need to go with something lighter.

Made the doors and the drawer fronts today. Nothing fancy, Just plywood with maple boarders to hide the edges. This is just about finished. Just some trim work, the last piece of steel, staining and sealing. I hope to be all done and moved back in by the end of the weekend. Here are some pictures of the doors and drawer fronts. I haven't adjusted the door hinges yet since I'll be taking them off for staining. That is why they look out of wack.





Here's the drawer fronts.

Looking nice- some anti fatigue matting would be nice on the floor

Very nice work…I second the anti fatigue mats…they make a big difference

Very nice workmanship

Looking really good.
