I haven’t found all of my tools yet, but my home shop is pretty much ready at this point. I hung the pegboard, built the bench and sorted a bunch of stuff into bins. I’m going to build a small table to the right of the workbench for storage from some leftover 2x4s and the boards I pulled down from someone’s else’s half assed closet.

My socket sets, hand miter saw, circular saw, several hand tools, and my soldering station are still somewhere in storage.

This setup is in a one car garage that probably wouldn’t fit anything large than a classic Beetle and has to share space with the family bikes.

Quite the nice shop you have there. What do you build?

[–] BartyDeCanter 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This and that. This is a new shop in my new house, which is a 120 year old Queen Anne. So I’m mostly going to be using it for home repairs and small construction. Previously I’ve done a lot of armor building and repair for SCA armored combat, medieval camping gear, gardening projects, general home maintenance and small appliance repair.

My current project list is:

  1. Floor to ceiling wall to wall bookcase, with ladder
  2. Windows seat/bookshelf for younger daughters room
  3. Moulding to hide some cables downstairs
  4. Better bike storage
  5. Repair back deck
  6. Goth armoires for older daughter
  7. Trim out newly installed closets
  8. Better under stairs storage x2
  9. Cabinet lighting in kitchen
