well here is a few shots of my little basement shop, although not completely cleaned up I figured I would show you what I have so far….

because of the nature of the space I have set up everything on wheels so I can bring it to what I call the suction station…..I know there is a downfall to this that I can not have more than one tool going at a time but I am only one guy so it kinda works.

as you can see in the last pic I have much to do on the one side as for cleaning and organizing and is getting there….

Great shop Comp! Love the layout and I coming from another basement shop guy, space is an issue. Couldn’t agree more about wheeled tool stations.

thanks guys, one good thing going for it is that it does have a ground level private entrance for bringing in supplies and such not carrying stuff through the house….still got lots to do to set it up. I want to try to have everything exposed somehow on the wall or in open view. i’m tired of having stuff tucked away in a box or container and rushing out and buying something I have 4 of because I forgot I had some…..done that a few times…..

That’s a badass little place, comp! Bringing tools to the shop vac is a cool idea, do you have a full size dust extractor?

no just a 6hp shop vac and a dust deputy that seems to handle most stuff…..

Looks good Comp. I wanted to clean the garage more but it was really hot out and I had no motivation to do it.

I felt that way when I first started, seems like hours of moving things and it doesn’t look any different ……time consuming for sure…..but it’s finally starting to take shape……some day I might actually start a project

Dude, may the shop Gods keep you on track, safe and with little to no back pain!

I hear you about the time thing. How long is mine going on now? Have you moved something over and though a week or a mo th later…”nah, I gotta move that over here” ? Drives me nuts! Looking good though Comp!
