Just take your shop, cut it in half, double the stuff in it, cover the floor (and everything else) with sawdust, unpaint the walls and you've got my shop! <- insert smiley

Thanks Jaroot, sounds like you have a small shop like mine. Just wondering if anyone has new Ideas to maximize space, anything new you've come up with?

Not really. I just try and have everything on a mobile base of some kind and try to push them out of the way when not in use. I have built a tall mobile unit that holds my planer and has shelves above and below to hold other bench top type tools. I mounted paint can holders on one side of it. I've posted pics of it in my album. I'm not very organized by nature so the shop is kind of a disaster area. About once or twice a year I really get after it but it soon clutters up again. Everybody, myself included, figures that if something doesn't have a place, put it in the garage.

I lied. It isn't in my album. Try this link: http://forum.carvewright.com/showthr...15773-Can-Rack

Overhead storage a must.

Sure Do Terry, along with Fine Art, Antiques, Antiquities, and even some up to date Contemporary Pieces.
I have to wear several different "Hats" every day around here, -- something different to work on nearly every day.
Here's a few --- now multiply those by about a dozen every month. --- Helps Keep me from getting bored with work.

Ps. Just the Tip of the Iceberg!!

Wow! Some of the stuff is incredible. On the art, do you restore the frames or the artwork itself as well?
