I am new to the forum and have been in my dream shop for a little over a year. We bought our home last year that has an amazing shop that I would have been hard pressed to build it as nicely if I had done it myself. That being said, there seems to always be an endless wish-list that drives my shop projects.
The shop as it sits today:
1600+/- sqft, 52’x31’. It has three bays with 12’x12’ doors on wall mount Liftmaster openers. The last 12’ of shop has a mezzanine running the full depth for storage. It is stick-built, fully insulated, finished, and plumbed/wired for air, water, and power everywhere including the ceiling. Each bay includes a drain in the floor. The electrical panel is metered separate from the house and has three 220 outlets for a welder, an RV, and an air compressor. Most of the remaining electrical is 20 amp..
There is a built in, metal, counter height workbench running most of the depth of the shop with a wood stove in the back for heat. The back wall has been partially covered with recycled kitchen cabinets for storage 10 feet up the wall. The previous owner also left a rolling 4’x7’ workbench to which I added a pegboard back wall.
Future projects: (in no particular order)
Epoxy paint floor
LED bulb replacement of fluorescent bulbs
Restore and plumb in compressor
Hose reels and electric reels in ceiling
4 post lift
Install sound system
Natural gas heating
Wall storage and organization
Dust collection
Paint booth
Current distractions:
1929 Ford Roadster -traditional hot rod
1950 Ford F1 Pro-street
I am definitely looking forward to learning from this forum and hope that I will be able to make some positive contributions as well.
