Building my first woodworking space, need help
Has anyone else done something like this before that has any
experiences they want to share?
Thanks,
Dave
I have setup in all sorts of shop environments and some very similar.
Sounds exciting and like lots of fun.
- Some good extension cords might be just as easy, cheaper and more
flexible rather than wiring in. Can't really see the advantage for the
cost other than the overhead light.
- Material storage will be your biggest issue. Consider something
under the eaves on one side or other additional storage.
- You should have some good method to quickly setup outside on good
days. Trying to manage a 4x8 sheet of ply in a 12 by 12 space would be
fun to watch but not fun to do. Not so hard to break it down outside
on some saw horses with a skill saw. Maybe even consider a permanent
awning addition or 10x10 popup, some good saw horses and table tops.
- Dust collector and compressor outside in a little outhouse type shed
built off one side.
- Consider some unique counter\work surface type setups. Things like a
planer, counter top drill press, mortiser, etc can have temp location
on counter, then be relocated or flipped under to leave working
counter space.
