Photos Let's see your shop!!!

[Michael Black]

Here's mine. I don't have nearly the amount of tools that most of you guys seem to have, probably because I'm still just a hobby knifemaker, but I've definitely got the space with a 20'x40' pole barn with 16' ceiling. I'll get there eventually though! I've got a home gym combined with my shop too. This is a typical level of cleanliness for me.

Woodworking area:

Grinding area:

Bandsaw/Drill Press. The welder and forge are on casters and I move them out when I need them.

Back wall. The anvil has wheels on the backside too, so I move that when I need it.

Catchall corner:

Wood storage, and home gym stuff.

Rest of the home gym:

Wood storage

Can't be any worse than WI. I am glad for the 12 feet of hay above me. Don't know what the R value is on it but it's pretty good

These shops are way too clean...I can’t even find my grinder...!

Ha! I'd kill for ceilings, period. I work on my back porch.

kuraki I only get mad when you drink cheap beer
and your shop has come a long way in a short period of time, I don't think you have been at this too long?

 

[DanF]

This thread has made me decide to do a shop remodel. I've seen some great space saving ideas here, thanks to all for showing your shops!

Can't take credit. It was made by Ed Braun at Alef forge. He makes a few to sell every now and then.

Ah ok. Just started following him on IG not very long ago. What's the point of the bolts underneath

You use them to raise the base along the edge and tip of the blade. That way the tip is fully supported when sanding.

To prevent bending of the blade
