Location
Littleton, CO
After spending 37 years in my 12x22 basement shop of the two story house I built it was time for the old folks to find a ranch house. After looking for over a year for the perfect house we decide we were not going to find one with everything, and the shop was going to be in the basement again. The new house had a 2400 sq ft unfinished basement, almost 900 sq ft going to the shop. After arranging the equipment in the empty space many times a layout was chosen. First item to decide on was the dust collector size and location, after a lot of thought Oneida 5hp was chosen (should have gone with 3hp). The work began, new sub panel installed in the furnace/sharpening room and layout complete the work began.

It is used, of course I cleaned it for the pictures. The Epoxy floor makes cleanup a breeze.

What type of epoxy floor is that, or who did you use to coat it? I'm in Greeley and would like something similar.

the red wood edging on your cabinet doors and drawers is a super nice touch. Did you make all of the miter-saw station cabinets yourself? Nice shop, hard to tell it is a basement.

Yes I made them, started with Rockler frames and then used prefinished birch plywood to build the cabinets.

Thanks for your comments. My wife says the cabinets are nicer than the kitchen (not true). I liked the vermillion edging, just finished the last cabinet. The 9' ceilings help it not feel like a basement.

Chris, It was a garage flooring company out of Commerce City, I wasn't real happy with them however. They redid the floor with 25 more gallons of epoxy, it is better. The first coat was 40 gallons, it was rough an didn't even the floor our like promised.

Great space and very well equipped. Those are some monster window wells.
I'm curious why you say you should have purchased a less powerful dust collector.
