Looks nice and organized. I miss the snow, sometimes. Especially when
it's cold and dry. Here's my shop: http://tomeshew.spaces.live.com/

I built all that shop stuff outta scrap (and a few sheets of MDF and
Wilsonart). My circumstances afford me much scrap. Didn't cost much at
all. Tom

I know the feeling of sticker shock. I'm hoarding what cherry and
maple I've got for something, I'm sure. Good thing you've got the
veneer thing happening, as that's what it was invented for, eh? My
Grandfather did some nice stuff with it. Are you getting a vacuum
press? Tom

Here's mine!Q A little 10 X 12 aluminum shed with an interior that
looks like an explosion in a tool warehouse. But hey . . . how much
space do I need to make little boxes? I do regret being unable to
make large projects unless I take the outside the shed.

I certainly have my share of drips. It is annoying - and I have to
make sure I place anything that matters away from known drip areas.

Where's the snow? I've got about 16 inches up here in Michigan. The
forecast for the weekend is for lows in the single digits with more snow.
I've got a great view overlooking Lake Huron from my shop. It's bright,
warm, cozy but not as clean as yours. I love the winters up here. Perfect
woodworking weather.
Nice shop!

Actually I was thinking of the cost of materials for projects AFTER I made the
stations. :)
I picked up my arborite bench tops for $10 each at a secondhand office supply place.
6' by 3' and 1.5 inches thick. I can hardly lift one. They have tons of countertop
material that is great for tool stations.
But new lumber is a different story.
I wanted to make a coffee/game table for chess and backgammon and after pricing the
wood I said "forget it". I just can't afford it.
I now plan to use an old oak table I picked up cheap and use concrete on the top for
the gaming surface. I'm testing colors right now.
The problem with colored concrete is it takes 3-5 weeks before you know what color
you have. It has to cure before you can apply sealers. Only then do you know what you
have. :)

That's why I insulated the hell out of this shop. It's on a cement pad but the floor
is on 2x8s and fully insulated. Six inch walls, good windows. 12 inches in the
ceiling above 2 inches of blue Styrofoam . Every crack foamed, the highest r rated
doors I could find.
2 large windows set high in the south east facing wall provide heat from the sun. If
the sun is shining even at 20 below the heater doesn't run.
2 ceiling fans circulate the heat down into the room as well.

Foggy do you have any trouble with condensation on the inside of the roof? My metal
shed used to RAIN inside so bad everything had to be covered with plastic.

Whats going on?? No one has cars in their shop? I thought that was a
requirement. I have to have everything on rollers and crammed to the side
for the vehicles - well at least for the wifes. She doesn't give a flip
where mine is.

I would like a vacuum press. I'm thinking of trying that system Lee Valley sells but
I haven't done much research on it.
I have some veneers that are extremely 'bumpy' but beautiful. Even direct weight
doesn't flatten them out. I think a vacuum system will work on these.
I don't plan to veneer anything big so the bag system might be my answer.
I may pick one up at the end of the month and give it a try.
I'm running out of room to store/cure my concrete work so I may go back to
woodworking for awhile. I'd really like to make an exotic wood computer case. I've
wanted to do that for years now.

I agree. My problem is what to do with the stuff I make until spring. I can't put it
outside. I have almost a ton (no that's not an exaggeration) of concrete pots, tiles,
stones, etc already tucked away in every possible corner.
>Nice shop!

Thanks. It was the best I could do with the space I had. It's about half the size of
my last shop but it meets my needs.

LOL! You should have seen it the day before.
I do almost all my concrete work outside until fall and basically use the shop for
storage during the summer. The day before this it was a complete pig sty. Sadly I
have to work indoors for 5 months of winter which is not fun. I seal much of my
concrete work with a Xylene based sealer. You haven't lived until you've experienced
Xylene in an enclosed space. Reminds me of my hippie days..<g>
I wear a good mask but still. On day I forgot too remove the dog and she was walking
funny for a couple hours. I was really worried about her.
I put in a sink this fall that drains directly into a rock pit I dug in the yard so I
can clean up the concrete tools and molds without going outside.
Even so the concrete and silica dust isn't as bad as some of the wood dusts I've
experienced.

Nice Tom. I've collected plans to build similar tool stations but never got around to
it. My long wood clamps are in my bedroom closet....:)
I never had the skills to justify the cost of the wood so it's probably for the best.
Now the price of hardwood is just nuts.
I plan to start veneering soon though as soon as I buy a press. I have about 300
square feet of the stuff.

When I saw the first picture I thought you'd invented the
double-decker workbench. Too much crap on the bench? Why clean it
off, just keep adding new layers on top.
