How Much Machine Shop In A 1 Car Garage - Full Shop Tour

[BladesIIB]

Join me on a complete walk through of my home machine shop and knife shop. See how I fit everything in a single car garage. Open every cabinet and look in every drawer. Hopefully this will help you with ideas for home shop storage, tool storage and organization, as well as what tools you may need if you are putting your own machine shop together. Comment with any questions about items I did not discuss in detail.

Everything but the car!

So much easier to keep a small space clean, except for the bruised elbows.
Looks great!

Ha, yes definitely no room left for the car. The double car garage is next door. My dream shop would have the tools around the perimeter and enough room for car restoration in the middle. Maybe one day.

Yes, easier to keep clean and a must. No space for clutter. Have to keep everything put up.

Outstanding! Well thought out. Even the drawers are in order.

Nicely laid out, thanks for the tour.
What make/model belt sander is that?

Nice shop — compact and to the point (heh heh). Cool to see another old Beach top box still in service as well

Thanks David. Let me make sure I am answering about the right one. There is an old belt sander up high on the green shelves and that one I have no idea. Just looked again and no brand name on it only marks in the case are “Double Insulated”. Still has masking tape on it from a garage sale I got it from many years ago. Below it in a plastic case is a Dewalt orbital sander, in the video I think I mentioned Dewalt for the belt sander but the Dewalt is another sander. The 72” belt grinder is a Coote grinder. They are still available. And on top of one of the Husky cabinets is a Craftsman combination 4” belt sander/disc sander combo.
