Danny Byrd’s Shop – Shop Tour
This Viewer Shop comes from Danny Byrd who’s starting his own business. Let’s hear about his awesome shop!
My name is Danny Byrd I have a 24 year background in construction and the last 13 years as a commercial construction superintendent. I have been building furniture and cabinets for the last 12 years and teaching myself new techniques to improve my skills with every project. I have been laid off since last Sept. and haven’t had much luck finding another superintendent position, so I’ve been trying to make a start at my own woodworking business. The shop is a 26ft. x 40ft. pole building that I built in 2005. I framed in the walls to insulate and drywall. I also decided to frame and sheet the floor instead of concrete. It has a 200 amp independant service. It’s location is about 100′ from my back door. Tools are as follows, 5hp Delta unisaw, DJ20 jointer, 15″ x5 Delta planer, Powermatic 14″ bandsaw w/ 6″ riser block, Jet 18″ 3hp. band saw, Delta dust collector, Powermatic 79T mortise machine, Performax 22-44 plus drum sander, Delta model 52-625 belt/disc sander, Craftsman 17″ drill press, Delta 46-202p wood lathe, 10″ Makita miter saw, 60 gal. air comp. Shop Fox w1686 spindle sander and my router table. More hand tools and clamps, than I care to list.

Wow, that’s huge! (that’s what she said)
I could put my whole shop in the space he’s just walkin’ around in…
Now that is nice. Wonder what the view is from the bench when the roll up door is opened? Or is that just the place you sit facing the wall to force yourself to come up with some new designs? Man, I’d love to have that kind of space to breath in. Good luck with your business.
Fantastic shop, I love the layout , real clean look. I too hope your new venture takes off. Good luck.
Very nice shop. I visited your web site, great items. I wish you the best in your business.

Nice and roomy…
Danny, your shop is 2/3 the size of my entire house. Needless to say I’m insanely jealous.
My wife can relate, my shop is 2/3 the size of our house too. She’s also insanely jealous.
Great shop, Danny! I’m jealous.
Would love to see plans for the large rolling shop cart/assembly table.
Just like the first moon landing, those pics have to be fake. I don’t see ANY sawdust anywhere. How real can that be? Beautiful shop, I can only dream of a space that big.
I especially like the plywood floor. Easy on the feets!
That is very cool. Inspirational!
I wish I had the area and budget to buy the machinery I dream of having! The timber on the floor is a great idea….I hope your wood work business takes off….
Very nicely laid out space Danny. I like that it’s clean, as I’m sure you do. 20″ jointer?…NICE!!!
Very nice shop. I wish all cold have one that big and well stocked with nice tools.
Best of luck to you Danny.
That’s, I’ll take all the luck I can get, as long as it’s good.
Kudos, Danny, from the National Frame Building Association and http://www.PostFrameAdvatage.com.
You provide a great example with your shop, that post frame is a viable, efficient option for construction beyond the traditional agricultural application.
