Pictures of my workshop

These sort of posts seem indicative of group readership. I posted the link in rec.woodworking and got 3100 views in 4 days. I'm curious about how much interest there is. I know I'm always interested in how the other guy lives and never turn down an opportunity to look at pictures of other guys, and gals, shops. I've been on usenet a dozen years and never did this before. Never had a camera for most of them..:) My shop ain't much but it was the best I could do with the property space I had. I have bad knees and a very bad back and built it completely alone. The ten foot wall were a bitch but stick framing the 5/12 pitch roof almost killed me. Not kidding..:) Take a look if you are interested.

Nice little shop :-)

That'll be a good place to wait out the melting of all that white stuff !!

Thanks.

Yep it's warm and cozy. Lots of windows and lots of insulation. I like to sit at my bench and soak up the sun in the afternoon.

Darn. You sit home and look out your window at what I spend 30 hours driving time to get to once every 4 years.

[David]

Hehe. I'd kill to be on a warm beach right now. I don't get to one of those more than once every 6 years... I like the snow but not in my driveway...:)

have you considered photography, nice outdoor pictures:)

[David]

LOL! I just point the thing and press the button. I think the snow makes the picture, beautiful stuff, but it was much brighter outside than my photos indicate.

David,

Thanks for posting. I'm currently doing my garage/workshop and am interested in the lumber shelving in Picture 2.

What have you used for supports, and how deep are they?

Thanks, Gary

[David]

I'm using these Gary. They are very strong.

I love them and have them everywhere. I put a 1/2 inch thick 1 1/2 inch wide backing strip behind the standards against the drywall and use long screws.

Lee Valley great dedicated lumber storage systems. This one is better than mine.

Excellent! Just what I need. There is a Lee Valley outlet in Vancouver to be visited in the near future :)

Regards, Gary
