Tonight featuring...Your Workshop

[Cory Schmidt]

I volunteered to start it tonight for larry, thanks to tracto_man for the idea. Let's see where you work on your machines and other projects... I want everything from tarp and pipe buildings, and boarded post/timber buildings to post framed steel and the elaborate climate controlled fully equipped.

Here ours

I built a 4-car garage after I retired from the Navy. Counting from the left, Bays 1 and 2 actually contain vehicles (!!!), Bay 3 is my maintenance bay, Bay 4 is partitioned off and is my woodworking shop.

 

[Wheatfarmer]

I have three two bay shops. Garage, Wood shop, and a tractor shop. Always try keeping one tractor movable so I can work on something else. Haha. New rod bearing going into a 1951 JD MT at this time.

Here's the outside and an interior shot of the east wall:

Retired from the Air Force in 2003 finally was able to buils my dream shop in 2014. Still a lot of work to do but have the rest of my life.

 

[Fawteen]

Like your lathe! I've been looking for something in that size range but haven't had any luck so far.

My 1100sq.ft shop is rather full at this time. My Case 931 winter project tractor, plus a Case 440 custom built tractor, my Case 310 dozer that is just enjoying being inside, and the Case 440 that I use in the sugar bush. It is pretty crowded and a bit untidy in here. Oh-well spring cleaning is in the horizon.
All the benches and drawers are home built. The steel frames are repurpose Kubota shipping crates topped wit 2
X lumber, clad with custom bent galvilume 29 gauge steel. One pic is out in the connected woodshed and reviels how much wood that I have burned this season to heat the entire house and shop with my Royall wood/coal boiler that is in the front center of the shop.

This is my shop at my folks place. I don't do much beside big projects there since I bought my house. This shop is 24x40 with just over 8' walls. I don't have any pictures of my shop at home, but it's only a 12x15, but until I can get a bigger shed built it will do. Nice thing about a smaller shed is it don't take much to heat, and big enough to get a 4 wheeler, lawn mower, snowmobile, etc in, and have managed to get a Farmall H in it, but don't leave much room to wiggle around.

(quoted from post at 18:27:41 02/27/16) Like your lathe! I've been looking for something in that size range but haven't had any luck so far.

Those pictures are not current, just some I had in an online album, and I no longer have that lathe - got a newer one with more attachments but it's in the opposite corner of the shop and didn't get in the photo. Good Luck in your quest, hope you find one!

 

[tracto-man]

Here's my corner in the garage. Every time Dad leaves on a trip of more then 2 days in comes a tractor. Most everything packs into the little red wagon. nice and portable. Only lacks power when in the field with a stalled tractor or something needing power.

 

[jon f mn]

Mine is just a 12x16 shed that is just big enough for my tools amd welders. If I want to work inside the welders have to go out. But I have hopes of getting a shop some day.

 

[Richard G.]

30x60 and full of junk. Hauled off 2 loads this week. Got my ceiling joists up and going to put 1x4s on them and then metal. I have about $5000 in this shop now. Wife's sewing room off the back of the shop.

[RBoots]

Richard, is that a 10-20? I always thought that the 10-20 and 15-30 tractors were pretty neat. A guy I used to work with told me I could have 2 T20's, make one from the 2 type of deal, but the only problem is they are 600 miles away. I like your pondering chair. I have one in front of the wood stove in my shop, the only place for a pondering chair.

[Richard G.]

Ross. That is my wife's pondering chair. We sit in the shop almost every evening. That is a 15-30 that belongs to a 17 year old boy that works after school on my son's farm. I am showing him how to work on it. About to have a valve job done and it should be good to go. He had to order 3 new valves.

[flying belgian]

rick1, well at least you didn't build it to small like the rest of us did.

When I was taking the picture, rain was hitting the galvanized roof and Roy Orbison was on the radio. Life is good.

 

[Alan K]

Used to work in an old 16 X 42 chicken house made over to a shop.

 

[huntingreen2day2]

40 x 60 Natural gas heat.

 

[D beatty]

I have nothing fancy but I get by.

 

[TGP]

Now that I'm retired I have more time to keep up with my old crawlers and power wagons.

[sms]

Not big enough.

 

[howdy1960]

Outside workshop with trip hazards located inside

 

[larry@stinescorner]

I did get home late,,Cory heres the little shop I Started this fall.

 

[JerryS]

I'd like to see that new bed floor when it goes in the Powerwagon.

 

[NevadaDon]

My 24'x 24' shop inside my 50' x 80' barn. Super"C" parts scattered about. The C is in the barn getting a much needed bath.

 

[deadeye123]

not to good with pics.

Loren I think that we both have the same idea in that the more iron you keep in the shop the easier it is to heat thats why mine is kinda crowded also.

 

[Rodney51Cub]

30 x 32 x 8 with a 12 x 32 drive through bay.
Still hoping to have a concrete floor in most of it one of these years. Have wood heat but not insulated. Stove does good if outside temp is above 20 deg f. Last picture is four of the five tractors I own. The JD A is still in to many pieces.

 

[Taylormade]

My 20x40 shop. I'm in the process of building another shop/shed now to get some of the junk out of it so I can lay out the woodworking equipment a little better and get some functionality going.
