My old shop building (since 2001):

http://www.e-woodshop.net/images/Shop2.jpg

.... succumbed to subsidence in 2008 and the equipment was moved to a
temporary location:

http://www.e-woodshop.net/images/TempShop0.jpg

I have since remodeled the old building, brought it back to a hopefully
usable life, and the time is nigh to move the equipment back on
premises. While it will be good to get my beloved shop back where I can
walk out the back door on a whim again, the downside is a loss of about
25% shop space from the temporary quarters ... ouch!

In preparation for the move, I've been spending weekends and spare time
endeavoring to make the newly renovated building looking like a shop
again, along with trying to organize it to make best use of limited space.

The first step was to organize some storage space, storage that will
hopefully be more efficient, less prone to leaving things laying about,
and less subject to being sawdust covered in relatively cramped quarters.

Although the cobbler's kid is the last to have shoes, getting a start on
it so far:

.... more to come as things develop. Just remember, it's just a shop, not
a high dollar kitchen.

Looking good! Why no pictures of the "other side of the shop"? LOL

Concerning the kitchen comment, surely there is a spot in there to place
a Flavia machine in an other wise unused space. And couldn't you set up
an adapter to your router table to power your blender bowl for
Margaritas? ;~)

The first time I san the picture with you using the track saw a few days
ago. it took me a while to realize you were "outside the box" in the
sun, rather than inside the "box" under the roof. LOL.

Looks like it is coming together, but I'm curious, what did you
do for the subsidence?

Built up the slab with 3 1/2" of reinforced concrete (which is only a
band aid for a much larger geologic/geo-political problem, and one that
will not last) per engineer specs; diverted the runoff from a new
neighbor's property to the North (which was the biggest culprit) to a
french drain; built up and sloped drainage away from the buildings
foundation; incorporated a "coffer damn" of sorts into the new slab on
the West, North and East ... the South exposure drains fine down a
driveway to the street; added gutters to divert rainwater away for
building into french drain.

These are all just band-aids, but the cumulative effect has been to at
least stop water during extended downpours, where before just a medium
heavy rain of any duration would cause water encroachment on the NW corner.

All bet's are off for the next hurricane, but you can't stop a
determined mother nature.

That outside storage area would be a perfect spot for the air compressor.
One thing I hate is when that damn thing goes off when I'm trying to listen
to my favorite radio talk show host.

For those who are metaphorically challenged:
You don't need a big shop to create masterpieces... all you need is a
few good tools... oh..and a bit of skill..G

I can't quite tell, but are the doors mdf or plywood
and what sort of hinges are you using ???

They look to be euro types...

More pictures...

Looks great considering where you started from.

MDF ... from just two sheets I've had leftover from jig and fixture
making and other uses. This is basically a "reclamation" project, as I'm
using as much stored up material, plywood, hinges, drawer slides (even
drawers) etc that I can find on hand ... won't have much place left to
store the stuff, so the method serves a dual purpose.

Salice Silentia Soft-Close ... again, overage from a previous cabinet job.

More pictures...

Thanks ... strictly a spare time project evenings and weekends, and one
that is about to wear an old man out working on it alone. Be glad to get
the shop moved so I can take a weekend off ... problem is I have at
least three large custom furniture projects awaiting the new setup, so
that blows that theory all to hell.

Yep, A practice I call constructive recycling. I am doing a bit of that
myself these days.
