    Default My workshop

    I have finally completed the wish list for the workshop, not 100% sure about the layout but that will change over time I am sure.

    Looking good. Just make sure you keep some clear area where you can assemble larger things if that's what you will be making.

    Good ventilation with the big roller door but you will probably get sick of sawdust so you may want to think about a DC?

    Looks good. I will agree with you in that you will look at changing things as time goes by. We all tend to modify things as we work.

    Nice space. Will be interesting to se if you have that much "spare" roomm in 12 months.

    Yes DC is the next on the list this year, I am thinking of making a small home for one outside the workshop and feed the ducts in though a hole on one wall, I was looking at the 2HP ones from Carbatec, do you think this will be enough power for this space?

    Nice set up.

    The best view for me, is shed with the doors DOWN and Me on the INSIDE.

    Enjoy your space.


    Cheers

    DC's are like shed and freeways - they are never big enough, but putting it outside is the best place for any DC. The best place for it will be behind the wall opposite to the big doorway - do you have room behind that wall?

    The space for the workshop is about two thirds of the garage, the wall at the back is actually a big shelving unit that I built so we still have storage space plus the fridge is behind there two, I was thinking to put the DC outside on the left or right hand side so that there would be a minimum of ducting to use so that I dont loose too much suction by having the DC too far away from the workshop.
