Well... took me a few years, but now the shop is being built!
1-2 weeks left for the carpenters, before I can start all the internal work myself.
Its a two car garage, where I have partitioned of two rooms for myself.. the garage is used as a storage area for lawnmower, bikes, car tires, Christmas decorations etc etc...
I have electricity and water from the house.
3 large windows on the North and South side, 9ft x 1.5ft
1 large window on the East side, 11ft x 4ft
The walls and ceilings will be insulated with wood fiber insulation. 8" in the wall and 12" in the ceiling.
10" in the floor, 4" of concrete, heated flooring in the two rooms I intend to use.
Kährs engineered wood flooring, and white glazed standing knot free pine cladded walls
The Garage door is situated on the North side.
Entering the shop at the east side, there will be an sink on your right hand side with a bench going all the way across, for sharpening, storage of bits and pieces etc etc.
Between the two internal doors, its 8ft across, so Im thinking vertical lumber storage.
Then I am bit unsure what to do with the rest.. :)
The large window facing East, into the garden, where we are building a Natural Pool/pond and a Japanese inspired garden..
I intend to do most of my work in front of it, looking out at the seasons and all the animal and insect life we are trying to attract to the garden.
The Shop is intended as a "Hybrid", predominately hand tools with a few power tools from the Bosch Professional line: Miter Saw, Plunge Cut Saw, Jigsaw, Dust extractor, 12volt Drill and a Tormek T8 sharpener. I bought all the Bosch tools, to do all the finish work inside our new house.. so instead of selling, it I might as well keep it out there.
The rest will be a load of planes, saws, chisels etc from LN and LV.
And few bits and bobs I have purchased on Ebay, North Bros Braces, Miller Falls Drills and braces.
The rooms are:
Main room: 19x12
Side room: 13x9
Garage: 13x9
Height inside: 9ft
408423
408424
But, I am not sure what to do with the small room.. I am starting to think if I should just leave it open, and have an L-shaped room.
408432
I intend to build, in order:
Saw Horses
Work Bench
Shaving horse
Pole Lathe
and all the shelfs, benches, storage etc.
