    Exclamation New Shop Design FORUM!

    Creekers,

    I have created a new forum to house Shop Building questions--

    1. Shop Layout
    2. Electrical Questions
    3. Tooling
    4. Stocking
    5. #Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask..

    This forum is the first of several initiatives coming down the pipe!

    Enjoy!

    Is this open to all, or just contributers?
    Doesn't really matter, just curious.
    Thanks

    This should be a pretty cool forum.

    I hope we see pictures of some well set up shops.

    Always gives me ideas what I can do next in mine...

    Thanks, just what the doctor order, since I am in the early, early stages of setting up a home workshop.

    Aaron, by the way, noticed you work at W&M. You don't happen to work at the Hugh Jones Data center do you? I have done some electrical design work there with Scott F.

    Rob,

    I work in a different area of IT- Enterprise Information Systems, so, I do work indirectly with Scott. Funny character! Part of our department is in Jones Hall, though I am in another complex.

    Great idea that's time is definitely come!

    I thought that we should have a "Shops" section here and guess what... here it is!

    Thanks!

    Should we submit our shop threads from the woodworking power tool forum to be moved here? Might make more sense to new people coming in. Jim.

    Aaron & Keith,
    This is fantastic. As one who is still dreaming of being able to set up a dedicated shop I'm sure that I'll find this forum very valuable in planning that "future" shop. Thank you.

    Excelent! Need I say more?

    Like everyone else (well it seems like everyone else) I am trying to get a shop the way I want it.

    Enjoy,

    This will be interesting as floor space is always at a preimum. I'm working with 13' x 9'. I always have to think vertical so as to not use up the floor space. Anyone else working with a shortage of square footage?
