Small Garages Or Small Workshops Thread

It doesn't get much worse for me. This is as it sits today, essentially acting as a dumping ground with around half a dozen projects on the go, currently focusing on two: Installation of a new window and re-siding a portion of the house as part of a larger renovation and installing new low back seats on the CJ.

So your saying your shop is messy?

 

Venting windshields are soo cool.

 

That is a great welding table you have there. I'm adding that to something I need to make. And do you ever open the windshield?

 

Thanks - it was my first welding project after getting a Miller 215.
kind of a mix between a welding table / plasma cutting table with the ability to mount my chop saw on the end.

Hot summer days, that windshield is open always. Usually cracked open about 4" is perfect.

 

I'm impressed with the usage of space. Lots of light and shelving. my biggest issue is stuff being buried behind other stuff. I've got a generator under the jeep with 3 powerwheels and A lawnmower to move to get to it.

 

Been working on the shop yet, but I’m house sitting this week. Couldn’t stand not having the whole gang home anymore.





New tenant moved in.

 

Some new stuff since the last update.







Electrical stuff happening next.

 

You can only fight Entropy for so long. I hope you realize that your efforts are accelerating the Heat Death of the Universe.

 

That is a great space, really am starting to covet it a bit.

 

Looks way bigger in pictures.

Started on running conduit and electrical over the past weekend. Hopefully I can get it wrapped up before the snow flies.

 

Right On, Mike.......It's pretty cool & sometimes even kinda amazing, discovering how they worked out the old 'Tech' ...... The ' Good 'Ol Days '

 

wow, neat tool storage. I would be like a kid in a toy store at Christmas in there!

 

Very Cool , Matt.

 

Probably been time for an update. There have been changes and upgrades.

























Whew!! I think that’s about it to get everyone up to speed! Been out there just about every day. I quit my job a couple months back to focus on a career change. In the mean time I’ve been bettering myself by finally finishing my little shop! Still a few things to go. Maybe I’ll update again soon.

 

shop looking good
that rolling tool cart

 

Wish I could like this more than once! Great looking shop! Good luck with the career pivot, I did that in 2019 and couldn't be happier.
