Alongiron's Workshop

Alongiron, this looks like a pretty nice shop to me. I have always thought that stand alone shops are the way to go. And it looks like you get quite a bit of natural light in there with all the glass that you have put in your shop. And what can I say about the wainscoting. This adds not only a nice touch to the shop’s appearance but it also will help protect the wall as well.

Thanks for the pictures. I enjoyed taking a tour of your shop.

Looks like a very nice shop to spend some time in, the outside looks great, but pink? Steve in Oregon

Sweet looking shop on the inside and outside…good job.

Steve..The workshop does look a little “pink” in the picture but ut is actually a netural tan color. I thought everyone would notice that I still do not have a piece of facia up yet on the right side of the building! Have a good day.

To everyone, Thanks so much for the nice complements. My wife used to tell me that; “A mans house is his castle” but now she tells me that it is my workshop that is my castle!

I have added some updated pictures from the inside of my shop. I still need to finish up my dust collection system and I should be good to go!

Beautiful looking shop. I love to see a neat, clean and organized shop. It makes it extra special that it is a stand alone shop. I had to put my shop in the garage but I have put a lot of thought in laying it out and using every bit of space I could. Take a look and see what you think. How do you heat and cool your shop? If I can answer any questions about dust collection, feel free to ask.

My shop can not hold a candle to yours but I do like to keep it clean as possible!

My shop is well insulated both walls and ceiling so I just use a small window AC unit that I take in and out come winter time. As far as heat I just use a small oil filled radiation heater that keeps the shop at 70 degrees in the winter months. I do have a forum going on my DC system that you may want to take a look at and offer any advice.

Thanks Tom!

Love the space you have here.

Thanks Dustin. I had a chance to look through some of your beautiful kitchens tht you have built. They are great. I do love the space out in the workshop and I do spend a fair amount of time out there trying to sharpen up my skills.

Nice looking shop.

Along,

I love your shop. To me it is the perfect mix of function, organization and space. You have good value tools and i LOVE that old Craftsman bandsaw. Does it run as nice as it looks?

For me, your shop is a dream shop.
