[RE-START... I seem to be having trouble with my image hosting. Images are there some days gone the next. I'm really sorry for this inconvenience. I have found that this specific thread is best viewed in Chrome in the mean time - for some reason they are there... more... strange...]

So here I am, a young father of two, now beginning my own journey in the footsteps of my dad. I was raised in the saw dust and earsplitting screams of my fathers woodworking machines, spending every moment I could playing dads little helper. Learning along the way and shaping my own passions for everything tool and material.

The original workshop on my folks property was a double length single garage. I remember how well my father had it layed out with everything flowing into the next step of his workflow - Tables appearing out of walls and machines rotating to accommodate projects way larger than what you think possible in the narrow space filled wall to wall with shelves and boxes of "someday that will be useful" things.

Eventually though it was gutted, made wider, and turned into a flatlet for my Grandparents. Part of the deal though was that he got to build a new workshop at the bottom of the property, as large as money could afford.

Years passed - We never really got the new workshop even close to the same functionality as the old one. My fathers ailing health and old age catching up with him, He spent less and less time in the workshop. As I was young and of the age of freedom my focus also lay elsewhere at that time. Though the workshop never lay idle. Just more and more like a storage room.

It had now become mine though - inherited with all my dads tools and knowledge, and the rest of the families "junk". By the end of Christmas 2008 I opened the door to this...

tEcRUkxwlGuVDucGKxCAGbVaTzhiharwcPHDm6_2GAI=w800-h450-no


Now dont be fooled - At this point I had already filled and entire backroom on the property with everything you don't see here - So that I could at least navigate the area. The weekend prior to this I also ended up throwing out a Skip worth of ****.

And so with a little breathing room the mission began.

Everything Inside... Move Outside...

Little piles of "organisation" all over the property.

By lunch time I had reclaimed a strange concrete like material I decided to name... The Floor!!!

By the days end, and well into the evening, I had left myself with this

Come the following weekend, I knew there was a lot to do. I had a million holes in all the walls that would need filling - and a terrible leak in the roof where the new workshop structure was adjoined to the old structure of the house.

3tqsS-mHHz8tkUQl-IJpVGp7eyjDAW_NJ2E4zGYrchs=w800-h450-no


Everything had been cobbled together in many regards - Electricity had never been properly installed, the old steel DB board box hanging on the wall is in the same location as it was when this area was still a Shade-net Carport for the folks caravan. The wall with the water marks being the original south wall of the actual house, having never been properly sealed. I decided I would fix the leak - but start from complete scratch with layout and lighting and power.

So with the leak fixed, and the holes filled, I added all the half tins of compatible white paint together, mixed it up, soap washed the walls and threw down a first coat.

Ag8smhRlwUS8RUy_Pj6u4TDJgBzn-qWmmA4QVDNm3NM=w800-h450-no


It already had new life to it after that... in hindsight though I wish I had finished the screeding on the walls all the way up into the rafters instead of attempting to hide the concrete bricks under a weak paint of coat.

Also moved a few units and shelves around.

My father always used Peg Board and I always appreciated the modular nature of how you could change things - I also had my "sparky" come in at this point and start planning where the new DB board would be.

Also some shelves I put up

At this point I kind of lost momentum a little, life had pulled a fast one, I was soon to be retrenched and other priorities took focus. This is the last photo I took for some time

Welcome
That is a great looking shop and tools. Your work on it looks great. It must be very nice to go in and set up something like that from where you find it. I had a similar thing with my dad's shop and set it up and kept it for ten years before we sold dad and mom's house.

Will be looking in on you soon!!

Best Regards
Herb Spencer

Thanks Spencer - it was honestly the discovery of Garage Journal about 2 years ago - Mr Jack Olsen's 12 gauge Garage to be exact - as well as many other truly inspirational work places that I've seen develop on here, that I decided to dig through years worth of pictures and share my story. I wanted to have the workshop finished before my father past away, and never met that goal. But with many an afternoon conversation on the porch, he helped me lay down the foundational ideas to what I wanted in a space, and a life goal of one day being able to earn a living out of it and passing it on to my kids as he did to me.

So....

Fast forward a few years and many incarnations (and aggravated roped-in-to-help-with-promise-of-beer friends) this is where I currently sit.

As mentioned above, roughly 2/3 years ago I started remodeling and finishing the workshop. I had used it extensively in the periods between that and the first clean up, but it always felt unfinished, disjointed, and never really worked for me, I began to start collecting materials and working on some of my Ideas.

"In the age of 2013 BGJ (before garage journal) I had at least managed to Get my new lights in, DB Board and Conduit with proper Amp breakers running to dedicated plugs for their intended purposes (welding, Radial/table saw & planer, etc).

I Fabricated & installed an I beam welded up from the old Caravan-port beams (thanks dad for keeping those). It forms a Serif-Font T Shape that is only there to assist spread and support the roof truss spans. Mostly because I was able convert the Space in the trusses upstairs to another small "Loft" type area and wanted the extra peace of mind on load bearing capacity. its mostly light things and small stores supplies and my Peg Board for my future storage of my router guides table saw tools and a few jigs.

A pic of the underside of the loft section, I still need to add more perpendicular bracing in between the rafter sections especially where the panels join, right now its only being supported in the middle where all 4 panels meet. There is definitely still some "sponginess" on the meeting edges in between the rafters when you step on them. There is not too much activity upstairs though so not in a rush - and my main workbench took up most of the spare Roof Rafters I had acquired in its frame.

Found a great way to hang up some of the consumables in my workshop using some old wooden broom poles. Keeps them close but out of the way. I'm short, but don't battle at all to reach a corner and slice high...

I would love some heavy duty cabinets that I've seen a few of the overseas guys have... but you work with what you have... So after staring at the same dirt on the same cabinets for as long as I can remember and with working with what I had... Came the time to clean and spray.

And only have a recent pic with them finished

F-Gal1Hkf4th4pCf9e9Io3M9rSDVIFGsboM0NFmkGSI=w800-h532-no


Im still a bit hap hazard with the documenting process... Its a not so fantastic finish, everyone that helps out gets to have some fun in my mind so when a mate asks to be the one to spray them... you get their results instead of your own. Its good enough to not bother me enough to want to redo them at any point soon, and it they felt like I had "new" Cabinets.

I had made a quick rack out of some shutter ply scrap to hold various odds and ends that I used when I was making long boards (the skateboard kind), pieces of veneer or the routing guides. It was originally mounted onto the wall down stairs where the stairs run now. Obviously they needed to move, They were functional but not pretty and I didn't want to put them back on my clean white walls. It was almost a perfect fit between two beams up in the roof. It doesn't carry a lot of weight - and makes a great way to store the extra fluorescent tubes I used to have lying loose in between two rafters.

Also got the router guides, cut-off saw guides, table saw tools, radial arm saw attachments and a few jigs, out of their crumbling card board box and hung for accessibility. Now just to learn what some of them actually do. There are a few items there that fit no machine or power tool I possess in my current workshop. My stuff mixed in with an old hoarding stash? Or missing tools? hahaha The wooden jig blocks are attachments to a very nifty cross-slide table my dad made for the table saw.

Its at this point where I decided to bite the bullet and paint the cabinets while pulling tools out to sort and organize

which left us with this by the end of the day

While the tools were being organized and the paint was drying I took the chance to finish up the main tool board.

The mates might have gone a bit wild with the remains of the blue paint - But it was ready for tools. I figured next to it would be a good place to put my Linbin racks.

My tool wall coming together. I have sinced moved the Grinder and repurposed my el-cheapo tool chest and drawers. I put a lot of the pliers and other hand tools into it and am now using the wall for some of the things I didn't put back in the cabinets. Its in a state of flux while I reshuffle some containers and Shelf space. I find I remember to use my safety gear a bit more now with it in plain sight

Click to expand...

Thanks bud, I'm only trying to duplicate that which I've seen on so many other peoples pages in time pride and effort in their work areas... I'm not sure it ever will be... as life and hobbies and interests change I'm sure so will the functionality and therefore layout and purpose of it. I'm still young, still a lot to learn. I'm currently shifting a few things around again in anticipation for some new tools Ill be purchasing in the (hopefully) not too distant future...

Thank you for taking the time to appreciate it. its been many hours and lots of move this here... move it back.., move it there... move it back. My family jokes that changing the workshop around is my hobby in itself, which I laugh at, and walk away thinking... how true!!!

Speaking of tooling... I managed to pick this guy up at a garage sale a little while ago - All for the cost of about 3, 2 litre cokes.

OjNSj9s84ksO2QmMzk8MAELsuD5mfpPQdg8NNe7pcbc=w532-h800-no


Its an old Duro metal bandsaw - My research says quite possibly from world war 2 or shortly there after.

OFuuOgCpCecKxcKAPQ2_doHjoJ8t5WnlDA3cv_3Z5sk=w800-h532-no


In its original condition it comes with a fantastic planetary gearbox on the main drive shaft - Which with the pull of a lever allows you to adjust blade speed for wood or metal. Unfortunately this one does not...

l4qZz_xgG0sXP2z13jmfgILs0lxK2fax2w8enSIHIfA=w800-h532-no


I'm currently hunting for parts - its needs new guides wheel boots a decent clean and motor - I've had no luck in even coming close on finding some sort of replacement gear box to perform the original function - might just have to settle for stepped Pulleys on motor and Main drive shaft. Finding any specific bandsaw parts dealers in South Africa has proven futile. And with our current currency exchange rate anything ordered from overseas is just a joke in price... Right now it makes a great paperweight and being quite possibly the oldest tool in the workshop a great conversation piece among the guys on what projects this machine must have seen over its lifetime and in its heyday

So my latest acquisition - payed and old farmer R100 for it. An old Atlas drill press.

T7XRyg4qCrnZCTgpBa5cHqVoDv10mdCJpnHDMDwo6Cg=w800-h532-no


Its been living outside for many many years. I've already stripped it to start cleaning it, just battling to get the motor and mounting plate off. The motor is virtually seized, but once I have it stripped ill see if the winding's are still good, it will definitely need some new bearings. ill see if its worth it.

EJxIVWn_KwvT7rEWwjH1UZ-9I4Xt_iGfa1CbyHdvkU0=w800-h532-no


Still trying to think of what I want to do with it otherwise. The table is still in good nik, and its a tilt table which is nice. it also has a rectangular base which has a far smaller footprint than my Walker Turner Round base.

Ill decide once I have most of the rust off. I'm thinking swap the base. Add the table - It wouldn't be difficult to have one above another and swing them out the way when a particular one isn't needed. Could permanently mount my Drill press vice onto one. The head (turret? help me out with the correct lingo there) is still good. There is very little surface rust on the Main Shaft (again forgive my lack of correct terminology) that the Chuck is attached to and it spins freely although the top bearing is also seized.

Also managed to convince a mate to give me this.

5PSZw4KbVazRy2Vk86IzUnb71yN_lMvbFyLLOQQVlKw=w532-h800-no


Its been drying in a corner in his garage for the last 3 years. He is moving over to the UK in a few months.

PUmNvvX8YHxneMpDgcWw7kx_LaI9Pxj1W-OD-jDo6eQ=w532-h800-no


Claw Hammer for Size reference

I've got quite a bit to cut off to level it out properly. But as soon as i got into my workshop, and from a lot of other pages I've seen here - my first thought was - Hey!!! I can attach an anvil to this - Except that I don't have one...

I do wish to get one in the future, as a early teenager me and friend built a very crude forge. We didn't know anything more than what we had seen on TV and some common sense on how to trap heat. We made some (Very Crude) throwing knives and just enjoyed the idea of working hot steel. Its always stuck with me and is something I'd like to experiment with again in my years ahead of me.

This is probably one for the vintage toolbox guys - not familiar with the brand... Waterloo

Going to clean it up and use it for some of my Smaller odds and ends. Posidriver bits, torx screw bits, allen bits etc... I've been contemplating on what to do paint wise for quite a few things. Would be nice to get a bit of a colour scheme going - Hammerite effect perhaps?

If there is one thing I have learnt from this forum - its that a coat of paint makes anything new. The Black hides a lot of imperfections, holes, dents, and a few paint runs. I really like the blue and black theme, but find to much black makes for a dark workspace. Still trying to decide on a colour for all my machines I wish to re furbish. I'm super grateful for some of the things I have hidden in cabinets and chests that my father left. Most of them are old, but still perform their intended purpose. I'm looking forward to being able to purchase some new cool things for myself in the future though. Inherited tools are priceless... but unpacking new gear is always a worthy experience.

So the weekend last I managed to squeeze out to the folks place a bit - I admit I do miss how much time you have to get things done when you live on the same property as your workshop.

The layout had been bugging me for a little while - things just weren't 'Right'...

So with a little forethought and the assistance of some 3D software(3DSMAX) I modeled out the floor space to how it could better flow. The wood I had been storing at the Main door was becoming a headache and general trash pile. I was always tripping over **** and moving it out of the doorway to work - to move it all back in end of day.

Ci2_Im60xrhM7kUIDxgo8-OcmtTfF45Yf-COBYghb9c=w800-h532-no


The original back corner layout - I shifted the shelves and moved my Jippo bench. With the space left open I organised the wood I wanted, and threw the rest away (all chip board must die! :uzi:)

QZ1l_9pYJnzurJP6idbSilWxrgBU5yTdxYYrLHWSdhQ=w532-h800-no


Shifted my drill press into the corner where the wood was.

9Fwx3l37zufn7lsza2sjLJBGulpdiaUtSJnLeYz1SY4=w800-h532-no


Its still a mess, I ended up taking two makeshift shelves off my heavy duty set to raise them higher so I could store my radial arm saw and not yet functioning bandsaw underneath them. I havnt yet quite found homes for some of the stuff yet

And the tool wall area had a shift aswell

YIbYQOGMQ0Yui45VJVEUdSiYpyqgxJbgo0caxh3kfrQ=w800-h532-no


Standing in the space, it feels better. The only outstanding mission mongness now is shift the steps to the window wall... it opens up the full wall heading out the small door. And wall space is hanging space for all sorts...

So got a productive 3 hours out of the 'shop today. Had a little help which did make things go quicker. I had been wanting to shift the stairs to the window wall. I test fitted them and they didn't fit. The distance between the rafters were different from either side. I had originally mocked them up super quick so that i could start making space of my upstairs storage space. I figured if i need trim them I may as well square up and recut both sides.

RRmTxxkWufUfLbhR1gOZT5GcRCtD5GeXA0R7W2PNWN4=w800-h532-no


Excuse the dodgy plug hop... A certain genius managed to store all his Extension cords upstairs before he took the steps down....

It was HOT today - were coming into spring and already pushing 28's (deg C). Trusty old garage fan in action...

I clamped the lengths with a sash clamp then tension clamped a straight edge offset to my cutting edge onto the edge of the table - Everything was nice an tight and I did the cuts quickly each side (rotate piece repeat).

M4bokhMc36w5A0Fj9wOPcYurrgNRYFIbeQgEHP8xB0E=w800-h532-no


Putting everything back together - Drilling new pilot holes for the center bolts.

1,2, Skip a few - I must learn to take more images...

NzYcPhdC2jXwEuUTPPXaQqLPh72faRKzgg6MDMo-N_0=w800-h532-no


The steps havn't been levelled yet. Still test fitting. its just a matter of rotating them to the horizontal and adding the extra bolts to lock it into place.

Its the exact width of the small table beneath it - Did a quick test fit of woodworkers(?) vice to check clearances. Good to go should it ever be needed.

So that leaves my warped and skew long table and a full solid wall to work with.

YCRUoSUfRVgtZAjpap2O6tvnGjdZ9AV8dl0rI2yXzks=w800-h532-no


I'm going to cut it up and re weld one better thought out and just better put together. I'm planning on retro fitting the Radial Arm Saw and my Mitre-saw (when purchased) sharing a common rear guide wall. I can get lengths in and out of the door this side and store them on the lower sections.. At least that's my thinking. It also Gives me the original Double brick South wall of the house over the large single Concrete brick of the window wall... So I'm happier to sink brackets and bolts into it.

What a difference from this... in terms of usable (length) of area...
3NGwqJ-C715gte32qL7rzCxDkili5cF1O9iWCIiFjgE=w800-h532-no



Also having contradicting thoughts on this.... Its a truck Rim... I think -

QCetfmyBK8Oq77Wqsj1UICuTqrTTi0Vc-QkMZoB9I-o=w800-h532-no


Weighs a good amount - Im thinking Base for my Large Vice... I have a 20kg dumbell I could add to it as well. It has quite a foot print though. But it would also make a 'lekker' fire pit for those group gatherings...

Not sure as depending on what I choose to do with the Atlas drill press I potentially have a spare base and pole there already - Cut pole to height, Weld a plate on top and attach vice... Decisions Decisions

Been a few weekends off - but managed a little time in the workshop over the weeks past while helping out the Parentals on odd jobs to get the place cleaned up and the stairs finished.

Decided to test swinging the orientation of my main light

I'm quite surprised at the amount of extra light it throws. I've now negated the unit above the shelves, and I keep clipping the unit up the stairs - So I see a new lighting arrangement coming soon, I have a particular electrical friend who I'm sure will be thrilled to hear that... again... I wont lie the main florescent light has a background buzz that i slowly getting to me on the days I decide to quietly fiddle in the workshop.

Have a few motors I cant wait to start reconditioning... A few machine parts Ive been collecting need them. The Bandsaw for starters :bounce:

Its been awhile since I've been able to see through the bottom shelf of my main bench.

Also been staring at this space of my wall - Its a little over 3m from wall to Blue pole... which is generally the size of stock I buy in material length.

I'm liking the idea of a heavy duty on wall rack maybe 3 tiered to store lengths like square tubing, aluminium angle, general lengths of "stuff"

Its where I'm planning on putting the radial arm saw and my Miter saw when purchased on a shared table with common backstop...

I've already managed to "procure" the MDF board I'll use for the top - Cut length wise it all measure up.

Found a possible way to mount my chisels... Just need to find a better way of keeping them Straight up..

It needs a bit of an organize, I've filled it right now with most my specialized bits - grinding bits, router bits, guide collets for the routers and special cutters. I'm going to replicate the Top shelf for holding the bits on the bottom shelf.

I have seen truck rims used for vice and grinder bases more than once on the Garage Journal. You need enough weight in the base to prevent push overs maintain stability when using the vice or grinder. The only way to do that is with supplementary weight attached to the base at the lowest possible place. The risk is that the weight you need will make repositioning the unit difficult. I say try it and if you are not happy with the results "run it over the scales" and make a buck or two for your shop fund.

Unfortunately as is the case in good ol South Africa - Its the only way to confidently keep the tools inside - and the affirmative shoppers outside. I also have a bar of 12mm 330 stainless steel bolted through the wall that gets locked across the small door just to be extra sure. Took me a week and countless blades on the angle grinder just to cut through a small offcut piece of it when was fiddling with making a knife once.

I have a 20kg dumbbell lying around the property somewhere - I was thinking of mounting that underneath to add weight. Maybe on a screw system to be able to add more when acquired. Just a needs a really good de rust - At least I know it fits where I'm planning on putting it...

So managed some time in the 'shop today - Folks got to spend the day with their granddaughter. She loves chilling with me in the workshop. Normally running around with a broken pipe cutter (all sharp edges removed) saying - "Daddy... Fixing..." Super Stoked - I can only hope to grow it into an interest as she gets older.

My nephew whom is now 18 has also taken more and more of an interest in spending more time and learning the tools. I'm no master by any means - But its quite gratifying to be passing on the knowledge given to me by my father.

Had a quick school project I needed to help him on. It needed the table saw, but I haven't quite got around to building a new base for it yet. I figured out a nice jippo solution using my pops old workmate bench. I know there is a thread on here somewhere dedicated to it - Probably the most used tool I have. Its built like a tank compared to flimsy excuse you get these days for mobile work benches - I have one - Stored in the roof that never gets used - I'm too scared of breaking it by maybe putting to much weight on it - Like a power drill or something...

Clamped onto the edge underneath - I had two clamps on the other side - it was really sturdy - and worked so well I'm thinking of just using it this way when needed.

have a box of some heavy duty shop display hangers - drilling the holes in them to mount to the cross beam on the roof - The steps next to the drill press make a nice small parts table when working on things hahaha

All hung up - Need to get a closer shot but its temporary - I like where they are but its not ideal. Will make a proper bracket to hold them up against the wall when I get around to buying some more clamps

who knows? guess there are some things google doesn't get right... it seems to be fixed now... please feel free to let me know if it happens again. Still trying to get the process working of where to store images and then where to link them from... Funny for a guy who has done quite a bit of web work in the past there are still things so alien to me (like your first blog hahaha)

Jis that's a lekker loft area. :thumbup: I would love to have space like that for storage away from all the tools and machinery.
Click to expand...

It really does help keep all the small parts storage up and out the way, only downside is thats its also an "out of sight out of mind" dumping area for some of the junk I currently have floating around. It gets really warm upstairs - I need to try get some external ventilation in either with Roof vent or passive Extractor fan knocked into the South wall. It has made downstairs a ton cooler in the summer by blocking a lot of the heat. I also cant tell you how quickly it gets dusty up there - its not like we have "Sealed" roof tiles in SA and especially in the dry dusty winters the weather pushes a lot of dust in.

But I got paid a visit to one of our local tool merchants today. Now its not Makita or Festool quality, its cheap and cheerful. But I have a few of thier tools already and used a lot of them when I was working in set building for a local production company. They graft well, and for my purposes in general DIY and small projects they will be plenty. I've needed a new general hand drill for awhile, Mom wanted the small sander for her little projects, and in a deal to fix her outside entertainment area table I scored the belt sander.

So with a little time off work and in agreement with the folks (My Mom & Elder Sister) I began the resto job on their outside entertainment table.

My Father originally built this table when they built the house 33 odd years ago. In that time its had one resurfacing and only one subframe rebuild. It never been re varnished or sealed, most of the screws were so rusted they just snapped off.

Two of the smaller panels had rotted away to the point where I was breaking them off with twigs from the tree in the middle.

All the panels off to assess the damage.

So my plan of action based on what I had lying around - Seal the base, Re prime the Steel, sand and replace necessary Surface panels.

Started with giving everything a good solid wire brush. Cleaning off the loose rust and dirt and primer and removing the broken screw studs...

Managed to miss a stud - but I do love that rust converting primer - Really saves a ton of time when you don't have the time to put in the necessary elbow grease to do things properly - like sand rust back to bare metal.

Finished sanding all the panels. While I was doing that Mom sorted the first coat of primer and the wood treatment. The primer was sitting on a shelf for long while - Bought it and never used it - Didnt even notice it was green until I popped the tin...

None of us were much bothered with accuracy precision and neatness as we were all aware this was a sweep the mess under the rug solution so we didnt bother masking between coats - Just a quick wipe with a rag of the over brushing...

Day 3...

During all this I cut and measured a new panel to replace the missing ones. I recycled the worst of the warped edge panel by cutting it as far as possible before the warp and used it to fill the location of the smallest missing panel. The new panel I had was long enough to use as a full new length with the off-cut being long enough to make up the other missing small panel.

Half Round Routed the new edges and cut rounded corners on the new Panel. Gave everything one last coat of sealer...

I do need to make a new Collar for the tree - Old one is also pretty rotten and just doesn't fit anymore regardless... Still Everyone is super happy with the results. Bring on National Braai Day for the 24th!!! :beer:
