The other folks have some good points. What would do regardless of your
shop space, put everything on wheels !!! Every item in my shop is on
wheels. This way you can quickly reconfigure the available space quickly. I
would also place as big of a landing just outside the shed door as you can.
In better weather it will come in handy. For a quick and easy bench checkout
the black and decker workmate on thier web site. The unit on the web site is
not for sale in stores. I have had mine for over 15 years. It is very close
to the model on the web site. And it folds up and stores easily. Last but
not least is a trick I see on these home shows. Buy one of those 10 x10
pop-up tents with no center support needed. Instant work area Good Luck

Hello:

I've always been interested in woodworking since 7th grade when I took
shop, but I've never had the time, money or space to get into the
hobby. But now that I'm in my mid 30's, own a house and some land, and
have some disposable income that She lets me spend I am finally going
to get started.

I live in the burbs, on a 110 X 60 plot, in a house with no garage or
basement. The old shed I had was tiny, barely enough to get the lawn
mower inside, but this weekend I am getting a brand new 12 X 12 shed
from Shedsusa.com. I opted for the Gambrel roof for extra storage, and
the heavy duty flooring. Style is classic, with the 40 inch doors in
the front.

So, my question to you wise people is this: How much work can I get in
this shed? Will I have enough room to do any work?

Also, should I wire the inside with electrical cable? I was imagining
putting in a light switch and some outlets around the shed, an dmaybe
putting in an outlet into the work bench I am going to build. I can't
legally run a circuit to the shed, so the best i would be able to do
is drag a 12/3 extension cord to the shed and plug it into a jack to
power the shed.

Has anyone else done something like this before that has any
experiences they want to share?

Thanks,
Dave
