Not that it is anything special but here is my workshop or as my wife calls it – my domain. This is the shop that R&R built. No, not rest & relaxation – Ryobi & Rockler. It is in a 488 sq. ft. double car garage and takes up most of the space. Everything is on wheels, except the lathe and workbench, so conceivably it could all be rolled to one side to make room for the car. It has every tool I could possibly need. Well it better because there is no more room for anything else. Central to the shop is the dust collector. Its hose will reach every tool. The lathe has its own setup and all you have to do is change hoses. Besides the normal garage power it has 3 dedicated circuits. One runs the dust collector, another runs all the tools (run one at a time) and the last powers the air conditioner. There is a vent from the house air conditioning/heater into the garage but it isn’t enough to be completely comfortable. All extension cords are 12 gauge. The router table is a poor man’s version of the one from New Yankee Workshop. Some of the ideas and suggestions I read here have found their way into the shop. In an effort to keep the place clean there is a large and a small ShopVac and two handheld vacs. I’d rather be at the lathe but the current project is to build 2 more bookcases to hold my wife’s extensive panda collection. She has one whole bedroom devoted to the critters.
