Hello all...

We are finally moving house after 12 years in oir current location.

I am keen to see peoples workshop setups so I can get ideas for me new workshop I will be building.

Particularly those who build boats and how your machinery is setup.

I like the idea of a separate room/shop for the woodworking stuff that makes a mess, but lets see what others have done :)

Cheers
Kris
 
Can't post any pictures since my workshop would be my garage and it's full of everything EXCEPT room to work on boats.
One thing I would recommend is to install a dust collection system of some sort that you can use with all of your power tools. It will save you a lot of clean up time since you won't have nearly as much sawdust and wood shavings all over the floor as you would without such a set up. I presently use an 1100CFM(31.1cubic meter/minute) dust collector with a 4"(10.1cm) hose that I hook up to my various tools. You would be amazed at how much dust ends up in the bag instead of on the floor :eek:
 
Kris,

I have a room in my shop that is the "frameup" room.. its the wood working area of the shop.. and looks like this.

the double doors open to the outside so i can let the dust go that direction if needed.

The machine tools are in a separate room as well as storage. Then Dons Hobby Shop is in another area.

I got sick of a cluttered workshop, so I turned my garage into a man cave/workshop. The area behind the curtain is recessed and has a built in bench that holds my bandsaw, drill press, belt sander, and anything building related. I also have a smaller bench to tinker on boats if I'm not building. The opposite side of the garage has a rack that holds most of my boats, and most importantly, the beer fridge.

Too clean to be a boat shop. TV, cigar chair, wall art, beer fridge.... Just add stripper pole and you have a boat lounge! LOL
 
Never enough room or tools
