Basement shop V2

[MichaelBikel]

A chronological gallery of my shop from 03/24/2013-11/5/2015

Here is the first good picture that shows the bones of the space. As you can see I didn't have a tool chest so I was using an old dresser, this was before I acquired any tools.

And the opposite angle just to get a feel.

Here you can see some repurposed items used to hang shop necessities:

And finally I decided I needed a proper workbench:

What's the timeframe from. The start to now?

Do you get water in the basement via the exterior stairs we see in the background?

Not too much clutter, I like that.

The first photo is from 03/24/2013. You should see how the other side looks now haha. Yeah the cellar doors let water in when we get a bad storm, fortunately we haven't had one in about a year. The bilco doors need a rubber seal, I have one but have been to lazy to install it sine I have other stuff going on. Plus they are a little rusty and If I go to install them ill want to strip, sand, prime and paint THEN install the rubber...I can be OCD so i'm putting it off.
