I wanted to share with all of you who helped me so much how "my shop
creation/renovation project" is coming along. A link to my updated page
is below.

Basically, the first 3 photos following the design picture show that I
basically "met my design". If you you have time, I included a few more
photos, and commentary, to help try to make it interesting.

Very cool Bill! Congratulations on a major milestone. It's good to see all
of those discussions come to life in your garage. I think you owe yourself
some sort of a reward. Perhaps you should go out and buy yourself a new
stationary tool to fit into that new space. And your wife - for her hard
work helping you... I think she'd like a new tablesaw...

Progress, indeed...

Just as an aside, I'd put a kickplate on the wall under the door...

Now its time to clutter and make it dirty?
I say that since it always seems that when a new space is created,
in short order, objects, wood, materials, all seem to find a home.
I love the look of a new shop.
Enjoy, and get those projects going.

Looks very good Bill. Try not to think about the holes you will be putting
in the walls for hanging storage. :-)

Hey, you've done some WORK!

Looks good but needs some sawdust on the floor. And spider webs in the
windows

I second Mike's summation. Your wife and you deserve a nice dinner out, for all that work. Good job!

I see another project for you, maybe, if you haven't planned/done it, yet, when you have a moment. That conduit sticking out the wall: Make/put a rossette/cover plate (of some sort) around it, to cover the hole. A simple beveled square or octagon block or a "carved" round one, any hand made cover-plate-feature with an appropriate sized hole, sawn in half, then glued back together over the conduit/hole.

*I'm not knowledgeable of electricians' accessory items, so I don't readily know if a cover plate may already be available for those types of applications. Sometimes, I enjoy trying to make my own accessory items, as that, hence the suggestion.

Good Job! Makes my sloppy shop look bad, but I'll forgive you.

I thought of that once and forgot about it. Thank you for the
suggestion! I did not occur to me to saw one in half. It looks like
sawing out a "wedge" would do it.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

The spiders prefer the corners to the windows. But I seem to have
temporarily confused them.

One little helpful note. If you paint or do drywall dark in Indiana
after dark, be prepared to see moths arrive by the dozens. And you pull
them out only to see them re-stick themselves. That provides a good
excuse to quit for the day.

Bill,

Many congrats on a job well done. I agree with your comments on bending
EMT. I had a very experienced electrician show me some tricks regarding
offset bends and I thank him to this day whenever I have to make a tricky
bend.

Thank you, Steve.

Yes, I enjoyed my offset bend too. The first two tries I wasn't even
close (and wisely-decided to re-read the directions). My best "trick"
was using my eyes on the 2nd bend (instead of the markings on the
bender) to get the ends to come out parallel. My 2nd best trick was
using my reciprocating saw to cut the EMT quickly. And my 3rd best trick
was gained from watching a YouTube video of a man showing how to really
file the EMT smooth. I owe my high standards for that to him. It's a
"must see" for anyone else who is going to be doing such work. If anyone
would like a link, I'll track it down.

I still have light fixtures to hang, so I may get some more practice.

Cheers,
Bill

I don't know if anyone else noticed the flaw evident on the left side of
the green door at about eye level evident in *two* of the pictures (and
was kind enough not to point it out). I just noticed it, and confirmed
with a quick check, that it was indeed a fly. : )

Just a note fly strips are cheaper than keeping the paint wet.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the care that you took to express
that. I received a lot of input from the group before I even started
the design. It was suggested that it is convenient to have outlets
above 48" (so to be out of the way of leaning boards). I used a board
to make sure the higher electrical boxes were precisely the same height,
about 50", above the ground. You are insightful.
Thanks again.

I want them high in much of my shop because I want the outlets on top
of the benches instead of behind them. Where there won't be benches,
the outlets are at standard height.
