Hi all! For the last three weeks or so I've been rebuilding my 'shop'. The problem, a 24' x 40' garage filled with a car, woodworking stuff, metalworking stuff, wife's stuff, kids stuff, all kinda mixed together, so I'm walling off about 15' of one end for a dedicated, weatherized, metal shop. :headbang:
So up goes the wall...

Some insulation and wallboard...

And a little paint...

I think I have everything where it needs to sit. I left a 5' wide door for moving tools in and out, not sure whether to use a sliding barn type door or french doors.... :scratch: Now I just need to put in the ceiling and organize :bugeye:

Nice shop Jeff. :thumbup:
I'd go for the barn doors, simple reason being they don't swing. Need to keep stuff clear of doors like that. :)
So how much work do you plan on getting done? I figure with that nice comfy chair there you're not going to be doing much but dreaming about projects. :lol:

Ahhh, the beast. It's a 14" Bradford Metalmaster, http://www.lathes.co.uk/bradford/page11.html (http://www.lathes.co.uk/bradford/page11.html), currently just holding that side of the building down. It was granddads lathe and I have yet to come across a project big enough to need it.
