   Ok I'm jealous.....I'm still in the garage. Nice shop, just the right size. I like all the light you have from the door and windows. Good job.

   Very Nice Shop. That's about the size I'd like to have. What are the plan dimensions?

   Excellent and nice workshop. Do you have plans because that it is what I want to do. Jorge

   Beautiful and bright! Two things my shop lacks. I have lots of overhead lighting, but no natural light at all. Nice job.

   thanks for the comments everyone. Jorge, I didn't have a plan, it really is just standard construction frame building. I had an idea of what I wanted for the windows and their placement, heavy on the north light, wanted it insulated, and it does get pretty hot here in the late Spring, Summer, and early Fall, so the A/C was a given. Let me know if you need any more information, Rick

   Great looking shop, obviously not in a area where security is a concern. Also I saw no dust collection system in your photos which makes me wonder where all the dust goes, and how often you might have to clean the filter, HA! Unfortunatley I work with metal and wood and have a 12x20 Garage and a 16x20 steel building that are both loaded with tools an work benches but my wife has dominated a good portion of both for storage of Christmas decorations and keepsakes, so I still find myself working mostly on my large patio on good days only. Envious of you open space, Charles in Texas.

   A thing of beauty! I am so envious as I am stuck in a 10' x 18' windowless basement room. One questions: Where is your wood?

    Superdad, thanks for the comment. The photos I posted were taken on "move in day" so the shop interior looks a different today. What would I have is stickered on the floor in front of the tool cabinet or across the legs of the lathe, a little stacked in the corner behind the dust collector. I always have been pretty much of a buy what I need for the project type of guy, so I don't have a big stash.

    Clamb, the dust collector is in the corner and was out of the picture. The jointer, planer, and band saw are on mobile stands so I roll them out and hook up the hose. Typically I have been jointing and planing with the collection of hand planes you see more and more, but still plug in when needed.
