ha ha - thanks, everyone says that! (If you look carefully though, there is a big pile of swarf under the lathe.)

Wow... !!! So many great shops, in all different sizes and configurations. Just looking at all the pics, gives me ideas for improvement...

My shop is the ground floor of my house... 26' x 36' ... with living quarters up above. I combine woodworking with machining...





























Cheers...

Brian, love the shop, great hand plane collection. I too have combined metal working with my wood working, I was a wood worker first. I have recently moved and I am setting up shop again in my basement. This time I am separating the wood shop from the metal shop, the metal machines really don't like the sawdust sticking to the oil. Now I will be able to do both at the same time.

Thanks Greg...

I have no issues with both disciplines sharing the same space, as I have good quality covers for all of the metalworking machinery and good dust collection, both at the machines and at the ceiling level... but it takes maybe 10 minutes to properly cover everything before I can run the woodworking machinery.

Here's a couple of pics of some tool storage...

I've been a member for a while without posting much so here's a few photos of my little 20x20 shop. There's a Jet 612 surface grinder, a Birmingham 9x42 mill and a Clausing 600 (13x40) lathe. Don't know how good the picture is but one of my pride and joys is the walnut Gerstner chest.

Brian,
I am currently planning to make covers as I have a mixed shop also. What did you make your covers of?

Hello Peter,

I didn't make any of the covers for my machinery. I use a mix of pre-made covers for boats, generators, ATV's and some king sized bed sheets. I only put the covers on while in "woodworking" mode, and as soon as the dust settles, I remove them to prevent any trapped moisture from forming rust.
