As a city dweller without a garage, shed, or basement, I'd be thrilled to have this space. Looks great!

Yeah, we're looking at moving and a garage or out building for a shop is a requirement.

Excellent space! A humble workshop is infinitely better than nothing.

Thank you! I have a bit more space on the other side of my table saw, so I was thinking of getting a planer one day.

Looks great! The advantage of a small shop is that nearly everything is within reach of one or two steps.

That and it's easy to clean compared to a big shop.

Neat little space! I've got a smaller room in my basement as my shop. For me it helped a ton to put everything on small casters to quickly move stuff around. If I have to saw some longer pieces I still end up standing in the doorway... I'll go and post a Pic of my setup when I manage to take a Pic next time.

Definitely post your setup, it sounds cool! And thanks, I was planning on the table saw bench having casters, but I never got around to it. I might add some, thanks.

Looks great, very well organized. When I was in an apartment I dreamed of having a small shop, even a one car garage

I also dream of having a garage, barn, or something like it instead of a basement shop. One day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Keep after that dream! A few years ago I moved, and was able to migrate from a basement shop into an addition. Natural light is so nice.

What's that little cart next to your bench?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's not on wheels, but I might add wheels. That's my little bench. I wanted it to be very rigid so that I can hammer and do stuff on it and it won't cause large vibrations.

All the surfaces including it are the same height (minus the one in the back). This is so I can have a flat surface for wood sheets and plywood.
