Craig,
You said the gap in your door is between the front of the door and the opening, not the edges of the door and the opening. I was watching something this past week… and they replaced the door. (not saying you should)… but when they installed the new door, the track had adjustments to move the door track closer to the wall. Perhaps yours does as well.

Such nice comments from all of you, especially BoredCutter! I shared your comments with my wife and she laughed out loud about the “neat freak” comment because the truth is I am probably one of the worst slobs you would ever meet!

I keep my shop organized because I have to in order to work effectively and store everything; but believe me thats the only reason!! My car is unfit for rats! My home would not be much better if not for my extremely clean wife!!

Such enjoyable comments from everyone though! Thank you! Other viewers of the site please post your shops! I really enjoy seeing the space fellow lovers of woodworking work their craft!

Vic, thanks for the heads up, but believe me I get more cold or hot fresh air than I want leaking through the 1/4 gaps around the edges of the garage door! :-) Any ideas how to seal this area while still making the door operational?? Weather Strip would not work because the gap is front to back not the sides…does that make sense? In other words when the door rides on its tracks it leaves a variable gap the entire length between the frame and the face of the door. I wanted to just replace the garage door with a set of 36″ double doors but my better half laid down a veto!

Hey Craig,

Good grief, how incredibly efficient!

(Geez, and I’m complaining about the cramped space of a 2-car garage!)

Your shop is an inspiration to me to work even more efficiently with the space I’ve got. We’ve got some similar tastes in tool choices, too! Very nice!

If any one did, you had the perfect excuse (no room) on which to blame shoddy craftsmanship, but seeing that project, you couldn’t.

That bookcase looks ….. AWESOME! Well done!

And my gawd! Your shop’s storage shelves look so ordered…. you must be some kind of neat freak! :)

Keep up the great work, you may well have the makings of another Marc Spagnuolo!

Thanks For the Tour!

looks awesome – neat and organized – I like that. everything has it’s place, and it leaves you with adequate room to move about and do some work.

nice use of the space!

Nice use of a small space Craig. I have a small shop too, so I know about maximizing your space. Very nice bookcase project there too.

Craig,

I noticed your furnace is a high efficiency gas unit. Be sure to use CO detectors in your shop and through out the house, particularly the bedrooms. Better safe.
Really efficient use of space. Great job on the set-up.
