Ken’s Workshop
Outfeed cabinet is on stilts and can be lowered onto it's casters if shop requires rearranging. Lots of storage too.
I began renovating my 2 car garage in December of 2008 to transform it into this workshop. I raised the ceiling to a little over 9 feet, put is some windows and new doors, completely rewired for 20amp, evicted all the mice, insulated, drywalled and painted it white, all by the end of February 2009. I wish I had taken before pictures. The south and west facing windows let lots of sunlight in during the winter months and a little warmth too. During the summer the sun it too high to reach into the shop. Dust collector and a chip separator are in the shed built on the outside of the garage. It is a pleasure to work in, or sometimes just sit in. Check out my blog at www.taylorbenchworks.blogspot.com
Thanks for looking.

This 18" bandsaw works great. I should have made a large bandsaw my first purchase when I started woodworking.

Maple work bench, gotta have one.

Machinery is Craftex. About the same as Grizzly in the US. Purchased slightly used, gave them a good tuneup and have been getting good results.

I decided to use drop cables for the 220 volt equipment in case I had to rearrange the shop layout. Workshops are always evolving.

Nice shop, well organized and clean looking. I'm in the process of organizing my own shop. That was a good inspiration.
Cheers

Thanks Everwood. My brother in law got the Habs flag signed by Kirk Muller last season when in Toronto. Started a blog at http://www.taylorbenchworks.blogspot.com check out my low budget chip seperator. Enyoy organizing the shop.
Thanks grizzlysaw. The best part of woodworking is sharing with others.
Having just installed a 3Hp cyclone dust collector system, I appreciate how you put yours outside in a separate area... these things are loud...
May you have many days of pleasure in your well organized shop. Kudos.
