A 960 Sq. ft Garage-Shop!!

[rabler]

Nice shop space you'll have there. Here's what you can do with about 1,000 square feet.

I have a lot of respect for those of you that have the skills to pack a comprehensive shop into that amount of space. I've tried, and have opted to expand. I just don't have the inclination toward the level of organization that it takes, especially when you mix woodworking and metalworking.

Ohio winters though, brrr.

Not nearly as bad as other parts of the country. But I suppose it's all relative.

Here it is, December 21st, and it's 37F outside. A week ago, we had 60F weather. We'll get snow, but not as much as Minnesota, Montana, or the Dakotas.

But I would rather have it -20F than 120F. I can always put on another layer. When it's blistering hot, there's only so much I can take off before it becomes socially awkward.

Here you go.
9 ft ceilings, there is a cabinet and sink at the home entry door in the shop.
The nice thing about having space is I can build a RPC and compressor room outside the shop. The side utility yard will hold our trailer, cutting bench, steel storage etc.

Am I the only one arranging my existing equipment into all that open space in my mind?

How did you get all those machine tools down there? Is there a carriage door I missed?

The first 2 minutes of this video explains how I get machinery and materials in/out of the basement, and finished products (I build heirloom kitchens) out for transit to clients. This series explains the addition of the bulkhead entrance addition.

In the laundry room. There is also space for a refrigerator in the laundry room.

Good luck on your offer! My whole house is only 912 Square feet

Whoa, that's quite the project.
I bet you were happy to have that access.
Nice job sir.

ok we are on the same page...
yea, I don't get it.... I don't get the 400k for marketing either? is she selling multi million dollar equipment that's hard to sell? or is she selling something that sells itself?

I don't know what the hell she sells.

You must admit, the shop layout with the exhaust ducting is pretty slick. No expense spared there.
I didn't see any dust or chips. I know he uses his equipment though. Maybe David has a clean-up crew come in every day??
Any wood shop I've been in has sawdust in every crack and surface.
