used to be a horse and hay barn, I turned it into a house and garage about 10 years ago

main bay is tall and long enough to park a dually pickup inside, or an ATV in this case

400lb hardwood workbench, used mainly for woodworking but used for engine work sometimes

small wood shop and tractor restoration shop, those flimsy Craftsman cabinets are gone as soon as I start on phase 2 of shop organization

Love the shop. Plenty of room & well lit

not enough room, it's usually packed full of farm equipment :( I don't have near enough room to restore tractors

building a pole barn in the next year or two then I'm going to separate the wood shop and the tractor/project shop. pull through the garage door and there's a 30x12 parking space for my truck and a 20x9 bay on either side. pull the truck out and you have a nice open space between the bays.

adding a wood stove, 220v, full welding/fabricating outfit, overhead crane, much bigger compressor, bigger wood machines, more storage and organization and insulation and drywall in the next couple years.

Your place looks great! Looks like a lot of light in there! I am impressed with how clean it is inside! Oh, and nice seeder restoration. (I assume that is what that is on the porch).

Awesome shop, really has character.
Looks like some cool wood projects you have going.
I could use some of those Craftsman wall cabinets myself.
Keep the pictures and updates flowing.

I really like the look of this place. I'm in the UK, and currently planning a workshop build. yours look perfect. I also do a mix of wood and cars (might build a Morgan and combine the two lol). Given me some good ideas. Well done that man, regards, Ed
