Shotgunn’s Garage Workshop

Shop Tour - Submitted by Shotgunn from Chicago, IL

I have a 2 car (attached) garage w/ an insulated door, natural gas heat, window AC unit, and all walls and ceiling FINALLY insulated!!! I mainly modify guitar related electronic devices. This means that much of my work is with metal. Guitar parts, pedal chassis’ and what not. The electrical modifications I do to the guitars are typically pretty intense and almost always require massive changes to the control cavity. This demands creating a template and flush trim routing a new cavity. Lately it seems that most of my woodworking is building shop stuff. I only get to use the full shop in the spring/summer months since my wife thinks it is still a garage. I plan on building all new kitchen cabinets in the next year or two.

That is a great little space! It is also an insane amount of pegboard….”more is definitely more” It all looks super clean and comfortable with the AC/Heater too!

Very well organized. I especially like the baby stroller. It’s never too young to start learning the craft.

That is way cool that you have been able to combine the electronics with the wood . Being a luthier is so enjoyable.

My shop is also in a small garage as are many other avid woodworkers. You’ve done a great job making use of every available square inch of floor and wall space.

Love the drill press table. Thanks for the idea. I inherited a standing drill press & am just getting it set up. On adjusting handle Wes missing for the table but my lovely bride found it in a box.
