Foneguy Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've been putting together a small woodworking / project shop in my 2 car garage. It takes up just about half of the space as shown in picture. I mounted the lathe and the band saw on Harbor Frieght workbenches, then installed drop casters so I can move them around as needed. This also allowed me another full empty workbench for misc activity. A lot of clean up and re-organizing, and this is what I got. I hope to keep it at least half this clean going forward. let me know what you think .... THANKS CREW !!! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Dude, that really does look great. Clean and good use of space, also very well lighted. I wish I had that much floor space, I really need to get some of this crap out of my garage. I need motivation to put this stuff on craigslist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yes, very nice, it does indeed look well lit, something I need to improve in the shop at my in-laws... That floor looks smooth and flat, that's another thing i am lacking. Can I borrow your wife for a day?

Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Thanks, I put in new lights last year when I did the overhead storage racks, I am lucky the garage floor is nice and level... My wife.... She's the best, we were able to get the most usable space just by staring at it and talking it out ...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryS Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Looks good. Nice set up. And it's clean. That's more then I can say about my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2000 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 An excellent idea for a garage shop, to be able to rearrange it with movable modules. Very nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigWagWorkshop Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Nice use of space! How do you like that Harbor Freight workbench? I like mine a lot, I been thinking of getting another, and putting them back-to-back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like mine a lot, I been thinking of getting another, and putting them back-to-back. Thanks....I liked the bench so much I bought another for the bandsaw to sit on. The first one was for a lathe stand. Very stout overall, drawers are a tad cheap, but all the action happens on top.... I added the Rockler drop casters so I can roll them around the shop as needed...soooo happy with them .. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Looks awesome how do you like the wen drill press I've been thinking about getting one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foneguy Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 The drill press is real nice, sturdy has enough power. A full 2.5" of quill travel. so far so good ... For the price from Home Depot with free shipping to the house, it is a pretty good deal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
