Building my shop-- part 5-- Welcome to the man cave!!!

Heck.

Yes.

Wow! It’s like the stuff of dreams. Even a handplane and a dog are here!

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

Beautiful shop!

-- Steve - Impatience is Expensive

you wont grow out of this shop for a while!!!!

Looks like a great shop….

-- Bob Kenosha Wi.

Your shop is way too empty…needs lumber, tools dust, and a few broken tools!
Nice Gloat!

-- One of these hammers oughta fix that...

This looks like an awesome shop.

Nice shop! Thanks for taking the time to make me drool!

For the conduit, you could rent or call a plumber and for $50 or so have them snake the pipe with a power auger. If the concrete isn’t more than a solid 3/4” or so in the pipe, they should be able to break it up and clear the line.

So where will you put the dust collector?
Some of those tools make a powerful lot of sawdust.

I could be jealous.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Everything is looking great Randy. I know you are thrilled to finally be moving in.

You’ve really set yourself up for disaster… All that open space means you’re going bankrupt filling it with new tools.

There are several words that come to mind which I am not allowed to include here.
Suffice it to say that I completely hate you and totally envy you at the same time! HA!
Yes, Sarit is correct… More tools, More tools…. look at all that prime wood storage…

Daaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnn!!!

Great looking shop. Brings back memories of building mine.

What’s the Sq foot?

Gary, the outside dimensions are 24X35, which equals 840 sq ft. The inside is probably closer to 750 sq ft.

Hey Randy, Looks like you are well on your way to having the shop you always wanted. I know you are glad to have it up and running. I followed your blog from start to now. There’s nothing quite like having your own shop to do what you love….working the wood. Congrats on a great-looking shop. Just don’t let that West Texas wind and dirt storms blow it away…...lol. Been there and done that…just years ago, but I do remember, after living in Lubbock for 35 years…..I don’t miss it at all..

The pictures make it look a lot bigger. Then maybe it’s because you haven’t filled it with junk, eh, I mean stuff yet?
