I have finally finished the woodworking shop area in the basement. I now need to arrange the tools I have and start getting the new ones I want. The shop is 11' X 18' in the main area with an 11' X 4' hallway and a adjacent room that is about 8' X 8'. I plan on getting the Grizzly 1023SLWX, the Grizzly G0593 Jointer, the Grizzly G0453 Planer, and the Grizzly G1029Z Dust Collector. I don't know how soon but over time as I can talk the wife into them. This is looking into the shop from the doorway. The back wall is 11' and from the wall on right to the back wall is 18'.

This is looking into the adjacent area from the main shop and it is 8' X 8' and will have the Jigsaw and Drill Press.

Well that pretty much completes the tour now I just need to get the tools I have set around and start building a Radial Arm Table and a new table for the Jigsaw. Then some cabinets for the walls I guess undecided on those right now. The lighting is 6 T-8's with 4 6500K bulbs each and 2 T-8's with 2 bulbs each. The Digital Camera showed 1/125 sec exposure time with no flash.

Gary, that's a nice looking space. I'm definitely jealous of the wood floor.:D

I agree with Don - nice space and I too am jealous of the wood floor. Can't wait to see the finished result.

Thanks for all the comments. The floor started out as concrete and I put in 2' X 4" frame topped with 3/4" tongue and grove particleboard. I wanted it a little sturdier so I added the 1" X 12" No. 2 Pine boards on top of this and then sealed it with a deck sealer. It came out pretty good and is nice and solid. Now how long would I have to sleep down there if I bought all them tools and would it be comfortable enough.

Great job on the space and the floor. I like your forward thinking on the floor installed electrical outlets, those will be so handy.

Looking forward to seeing your continued progress.
