My almost done creekside workshop

[ExYankee]

Greetings all, because I no longer even own a Dremel, and have settled in the south (I hope for a long time) I am dropping my “Doctordremel” ID and going to be the “Ex-Yankee”. And I’d thought to give an update and the shop by the creek project. Well, at least a month later than I ever thought it might take; I finally got my workshop closed up. I hung the salvaged patio door and installed the lock today.
This is a panorama from the front door.



I Picked up a second BT3100 locally and dedicated the left head for dado work. The base is mostly an old entertainment center with a riser platform to bring it up to normal height.



The offfeed table serves double duty as an assembly table. The wood lathe is only there temporarily until I build a stand for it.



Most of the creek sidewall is a long miter saw bench and parts center.
All the side benches are at the same height as the Frankensaw, that lets me support long crosscuts on the miter bench.



I went and bought a gazillion cheapo plastic food tubs to sort all my odds and ends out.



Well we are off for a week to Orlando and will look forward to being back on the forum when I return.

Now that is going to be a SHOP! I think it's big enough to sub divide and rent out space.

Thats a fine looking bachelor pad!

Looks like you may be doing some serious woodworking with a setup like that.

[gmack5]

That is going to be one nice workshop when you get it done. []
Keep us informed as to your progress, please.

Looking good John!

[Pappy]

I don't think I like you very much by either name![)]

The 'Playpen' and the attached workdeck would fit along the end wall and still leave you more shop are than most of us have!

[Slowpoke]

Can't wait to see more as it progresses ... Nice big space and a great start.

Awww, there's drool all over my keyboard. That's a nice looking place.

Wow. I hope this shade of green I just turned doesn't last long.

[jethro]

Looks great, John! You could spend some serious time in there. Do you have any before-and-after pics of the outside? (So we can turn even greener....)

Great shop, John. Like the others, I'm jealous!
BTW, there's no such thing as an 'Ex-Yankee', as all Southerners know. It's just that some immigrants qualify for Green Cards, and some never do. Enjoy the South.

We survived a week of rain in Florida, and are back working on the shop. I stopped north of Gainesville at a mill and picked up about 40 BF of cypress off cuts for $35, mostly 1x6 and 1x8 but some nice 8/4 as well.
jethro asked for some before and after shots so here we are.
The door and windows were from the Habitat for Humanity, store, The door was part fo a french door set so I will add a like door in the rear to get to the DC bumpout.

Thanks, John. I'm as green as expected. It's a good thing you made those creekside windows fairly small; otherwise you'd spend all your time sitting by the window.

I got the mfor $30 each, and set them at eye ht. There are 3 on the hill side as well to let in more light. The north side (with the door) has a opening paneled up to allow a future 44" barn door and windoow to get projects out of the shop.

On another note"
Has anyone any experience with spray on polyerethane insulation? I have 32" rafters and insulating with fiberglass will be a challenge. I have a quote for the 16x24 shop, ceilings and walls of $1150 for 1" R11 claimed and $1700 for 2" R14. I hope it would cut the tin roof noise (in and out) and look halfway decent so I would'nt have to sheetrock. The other option is ridgid 2" foam but I cant find a supplier around Nashville.
