Brian’s Garage Workshop

Shop Tour - Submitted by Brian Mcknight from Medford, NY
Added on October 4, 2011

This is my shop. It is just under 800 square feet. Dust collection runs to another room. I also store my lumber in this room. Yes, that’s carpet on the floor. It was there when I moved in. I didn’t bother to pull it up. I figured it would be easier on my feet than the concrete. This is my home away from home!

Nice use of space. I like it. I especially like the idea of putting the dust collection in another room.

Very practical. I no nonsense shop I would be proud of. Good idea putting two narrow workbenches together.

Looks Great.

Carpet may not be easy to broom, but a vacuum does a great job.

Brian, this is the kind of shop that looks like I would fit into easily! I love the lower support for the thicknesser! I am definately going to use that idea.
I notice there is not one festool product to be seen, great resistance to marketing, well done.
I can see how this is your home away from home, thanks for sharing.

With the carpet, the dust collection seems like a must. I really like having it in another room especially for noise abatement.

If you have a home central vac, I guess you could use that in the garage too! :)

Great shop. … Thanks for the look!

very nice setup, especially the dust collection system. Is the PVC pipe 4 inch? Is it grounded?

I recognize the orange offcut storage buckets. Have a few of those myself. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice layout to play in. Enjoy.

A nice, comfortable space. Not huge but plenty of room to do most anything. Thanks for the look.

Nicely laid out and well organized. I like it, there’s a kinda cozy feeling about it. That may be due to the carpet though ;-) …. but seriously it looks like the kind of place where I would feel comfortable working in.

Good idea on the dust collection in another room. I did the same for my shop and I’m really happy I did. Good work Brian.

Nice shop, Brian. I’d think the carpet would help dampen the noise a bit, also. Still have to use your hearing protection, though, in the relatively small space. Enjoy!
