(I did a search, but couldn't find a thread dedicated to the places where we work on our stuff. I might have missed it; if so, apologies....)
I have two "shop areas" where I do my thing. Not enough room on our property (long story) for a garage, so I have to make do with a 12x12 shed outside. (I do have a good long, flat driveway.....)
First, the outside shop.....the "walk-in toolbox".....a bit cluttered, but I know where stuff is.
Now, the basement shop area....again, excuse the organized mess....
Main workbench area
Zip-tie storage
Heading to the power-tool storage area
Power-tool storage (just to the left, out of the pic, is my benchtop table saw and area for levels and squares)
Parts bins and drill press area
The "paint booth", complete with custom exhaust fan (range hood vented outside). The brown machinist's chest holds drill press toys - bits, blocks, etc.
Secondary workbench area, with the scroll-saw and more parts bins
Still more of the secondary workbench, showing the rotary-head vise and more storage
Shelving with storage for electrical boxes, switches, stuff like that. Glues, paints, and sandpaper are farther to the right, just out of view.
The rollaway....not a lot of room for one much bigger. It holds the usual stuff - wrenches, screwdrivers, test equipment, precision measuring tools, more power tools, etc.
The top of the rollaway, with all the sockets
The tool-bucket I usually take with me when I get called upon to do stuff at someone's house....it would take a separate thread for pix of all sides......
Ah.....the joys of being a tool-junkie.....
