Work shops and garages

[LakeOzark53]

Is there a thread I'm missing of everyone's work spaces and/or garages? I'd be really interested in that kind of thread.

I, too, am interested in this as I am potentially looking to re-do my garage shop, to include running a 220V outlet (or two).

Linus Knives has posted a lot lately in his subforum about what he’s done to his shop since he got it including running a 220.

Thanks for the mention. Yes, I've basically redone my whole shop recently. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/whats-going-on-in-the-shop.2036406/

Very nice shops!
Pics of my shop are on my web site: billdeshivs.com
I also am setting up part of my garage to work on guitars and other non-knife projects. I have the work benches set up. Just got a new portable A/C to install. Pics soon.

I am thinking about contributing to this thread, however, as my shop is used for many different things (and I am not good with time management), many things tend to happen all at once, and as such it couldn't be further from being organzied or in a shape that I would like to show at any given moment
Though, it might be a good opportunity to tidy up the place a little...

I'm in a 9' x 13' corner of my basement. Hopefully by December I'll be in my new shop which will be a 15' x 25' internal space to a 32' x 40' pole garage. I'm looking forward to building out my new shop from scratch. Shop will be heated/cooled with mini split unit and I will put max focus on air quality and dust mitigation.

Good idea. I will make a new thread with the title "Shops and Garages"
People can post photos of their shops and any special equipment or features.

I have been posting my shop and forge rebuild status in "What's going on in your shop...".

To find photos of peoples shops, try using the Custom Search R]Engine" in the stickys. Search, "My New Shop", "Photos of my Shop", etc.

My knife shop is getting a revamp very soon. I have a neighborhood kid who works on Sundays cleaning it up.

My work has morphed over the years. Originally, it was knife repair and jewelry work, and a few gun parts. Later, I began making more knives and customizing others' knives.
Now I seldom make knives and jewelry and Most of my work is restoration and repair primarily. I hope to rearrange, organize, and make it more efficient for repairs. I have parts to build over 100 knives that I didn't have years ago, and other parts and tools. We have put a Unimat lathe and a 4" table saw away to make bench space, but they are still accessible if needed. I do have a larger lathe. We stored one of my 3 pantograph engraving machines.

I'm trying to make the most of the space I have before adding on.

I’ll go ahead and say it. Downright strange…..way too neat, clean and organized. No way I’d post a pic of my shop after seeing this.

Ha, you wouldn't want to see it now, even though Im trying to keep it neat. Those pictures were taken right after I had finished putting everything back in my shop and organizing/building shelves/3d printing stuff for all the tools. I doubt it will ever be that clean again.

I could use one of them little spy cameras to get some pics of my shop it's tiny

My garage is filthy! Cleaned it out a bit last Sunday trying to figure out where to install the 220V outlets for the new grinder. My big-ass mill is in the way, but there is really nowhere else I can put it (or even move it myself).
