Come take a tour of my small woodworking shop and see my layout! My small shop is 11X20 and is located in the third bay of my garage.

If you have a small shop and are trying to optimize your layout or space, take a look and see what ideas you can add to your shop. Also, do you have any ideas of things that I should add to my shop layout? Comment below!

This is a great tour and giving me so many ideas. Thank you...I think. :) I am overhauling the workshop I inherited from my father. It has 2 walls of upper and lower cabinets with countertop, like a kitchen, 1 wall with the furnace and hot water heater, and 1 wall with a work bench under a peg board system. He also made heavy wooden boxes for all of his tools which makes storing them difficult. I love your cubbies for your sanders and such.

Great tour! I have a similar setup (including your miter station, thank you 👍👍). Best decision I made was to build a partition wall to enclose the third car bay. It keeps the dust off the cars and out of the house, and it’s another wall to hold wood racks, place additional plugs, etc. It will be fun to watch your shop evolve in years to come. Cheers!

Well done, I'm getting ready to build a woodworking workshop, and I've found this video to be the most helpful so far. I have a 3m by 12m yard, so not a lot of space, and I need to maximise the garden space too, so I'm planning a small workshop about 2.5x1.5m plus a 1m veranda on the front with roof over it. My idea is to make it look like a garden shed out of Anne of Green Gables, so that I complements and enhanced the garden while I side I have my workshop. The front 2m wall will have double doors opening outwards so that when I'm working I can make use of the covered veranda as additional workflow space, and by making the doors solid with heavy hinges I plan to permanently mount on their inside so that when the doors are open and anchored back those tools are available to use outside in the veranda. I think this will maximise work space and garden space at the same time. What do you think?

@EveningWoodworker 3 жыл бұрын

I have an almost identically sized garage I’m struggling to create a shop from, and yours is the first video I’ve seen where a “one car garage” shop wasn’t at least 4-8 feet wider than mine in at least one dimension. Seeing what you did with such a similar space was really helpful. 👍🏼

@chrismoody1342 2 жыл бұрын

Great setup for the limited space allowed. This is timely as I just built my long desired chop saw station. I’ve made it where the saw lifts out on a plywood base and can be exchanged with my router table and also mortiser also mount on plywood. Both tools require different heights to take advantage of the wing extensions. Plus the base cabinet now allows me to store the router and morticer instead of being on my bench top or on the floor. It is a huge improvement in my shop as the chop saw station and wings are at the same height as my table saw so I can support sheets of sheet goods as I run them. It’s a bit difficult to make everything work as I also have to store also the mower, spreader, lawn tools, 4 bicycles, 2 motorcycles and misc other pieces associated with a wood shop.and still fit at least 1 car. Wish I could build a dedicated wood shop out back but that would be a budget buster.

@peterschmidt9942 4 жыл бұрын

I was going to just make a holder for my router bits, bit I like the idea of the removable one. Would work for drill bits as well so it's got me re-thinking that strategy. Yes, everything's always going to be a work in progress - it never stops and needs always change. Thanks

You call that a small shop?!!! That's a sizeable space I'd give my back teeth for. Still, you have clearly put a lot of thought and care into it and have some great tools there. Great job! That's not small though. Try 8x15. That's all I have for a professional shop. The only way to work in such a small space is to be creative. Dust collection put outside in it's own enclosure with the hose taken through the workshop. Wall space completely utilised. Love your flip top idea. Will use that one. Also like your folding assembly table idea. Agree that the table saw takes pride of place. I've upgraded my contractor saw to a larger cast iron table with a sliding mitre table. It takes up half my workshop space. Timber storage is external. As long as it is a dry well ventilated space it's fine. Smallest professional shop I've seen was 7x8ft! It had dust collection, a router table and a good bench saw in it as well as a 6ft long workbench!

Very nice sir, I'm in the beginning stage of getting into the hobby and I have the same amount of space to use. I need all the tips I can get. I will be looking at more of your videos, thanks for sharing.

It's a great hobby with actual tangible rewards! Get a few basic tools and then add a little at a time as you need it for each project... unless you just have a ton of money up front!

"Allowed to use" I'd be expanding the size with each project request!! New dining room table.... 1.5 car garage workshop!! New kitchen cabinets..... 2 car garage workshop!! Leave the wife room to park her car and always remember that it's ALWAYS easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission!!

Lol so true. I had to make the corner of my garage into a work space that I was allowed to have lol. With kids toys and a car in the garage and in the winter its tough but at least I got that haha.

@@EveningWoodworker totally being facetious. But definitely a nice shop. I don't have a shop. I do not really like working indoors. Seems i am destined to build one or enclose my work space in self defense. A robin layed 4 eggs in my markers box. Some other bird layed five in my glue cubby ontop of the various glue bottles. And i just found 4 or 5 baby rabbits in a hole under my drill press.

Very encouraging. I have a little more but you would never know it. It's a mess and I've been laboring how the shop should flow. You gave me inspiration. Thanks for sharing. I'm your next new subscriber.

Nice layout and I really like the table saw top. I have a similar saw and will be making a top for it. I am most impressed with your apron. I buy a new one at least once a year and seldom see ones with flaps over the pockets. Periodically I shove the shop vac hose in and clean the sawdust out of the pockets.

Thanks! I have the link to the apron I got in the description. It takes a bit to break in but I really like it now.

Loved the shop tour, and the ideas. Fortunately for me, I was able to take over the garage which is a 2 car garage. When I say that, I also say that with a grain of salt, as there are still things that are hers that still require some of the space. I'm working on that. Love the layout, and really liked the idea of a main alley for in and out of the garage itself. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos as you gained a new sub. Keep up the great work.

One thing that I think is key for small shops is putting everything on wheels. I'm trying to give every tool it's own cart with its own storage on wheels.

@EveningWoodworker 4 жыл бұрын

Good call! The wheels make it really versatile depending on your project.
