Finaly starting to feel like home

room is approx 12x9, this was orginaly an office so its well insulated and dust will be much easier to handle,, much better then my cold basement. I went with all pine(cheapest) and wanted deep drawers. The counter is actualy that floating floor stuff which has like a 25 yr finish. I would of went with a laminant counter but there was a couple bundles left over from the floor when I got here. I also made a shelf (24"x33") holds 160 1oz spools,,I don't think dust will be an issue, I like seeing how colors look against each other rather then haveing them in plano's I'm still going with track used to hold ceiling sqaures and sewing machine motor,,works for me. It's still not complete but not far from it. Got plenty ideas from you guys hope someone can use some of mine.

THat's very nice. Too nice - what are you going to do when you spill Acetone on it. How are you going to remove epoxy droplets?

WHO CARES!! THat's a sweet set up you got there.

Great looking shop. The view will look much better when that cold , white, frozen stuff disapears.

Cool set up Goose! I find a shelve above the lathe for drying finish helps/ it should be wide enough to have 2 or 3 turning at once.

Sweet set up! I wish I had some natural light in my shop. Unfortunately it's just a corner of my room. I like the thread shelf! It beats the 3 plano boxes i have mine in.

DOn't take this the wrong way, but I'd prefer to have thread kept in Plano boxes out of any light where UV can fade & dust can weaken the thread. My own opinion. Still an awesome set up.

is that the same house or did you move.

Goose · 01-26-2005, 09:29 AM

I moved.

Thats is a work of art!!!!!!

Nice looking setup Goose, enjoy it. From the looks of the pic should dust ever become a problem with the thread you could easily add a couple of wood doors.

Sweet man....really sweet.....can you see the color of green envy on my face..??...!!

Matty Fish · 03-11-2005, 05:47 PM

It's a lot nicer than my shop in the basement, I bet it's a lot warmer too, I'm jealous...

nightfighter · 04-05-2005, 06:22 AM

Nice T, and dust controlled! I got a Jet hanging from the ceiling and dust collection set up, but havan't a prayer of setting up a "clean" room to wrap in. Nice finish, too nice for my shop!!!
