Here's my shop. Don't hate on me!

I'm building my tear in the back parking lot, and have to haul it home every evening.

Here at the Fongderosa, I have a 1,000 sq/ft stand alone shop. The separate 2 car garage is attached to the house, so we both still have a place to park and the shop can remain my domain and man cave.
It's divided, roughly in half. One side is the "greasy" side with the lathe, mill, welders, grinders, drill press, BFHs that I ruin stuff with, my motorcycles and my rollaway with about a jillion hand tools.
The "dusty" side is the woodworking area where I transform expensive hardwoods into sawdust and firewood. There's a, euro built, combination machine (10 inch table saw, 12" planer/jointer, spindle shaper and mortiser), a few sanders, another drill press, router table, band saw and a few more BFHs to coax things into compliance and to punish the non compliant.
I still have a few more loose ends to tie up before I can think about a build, though I am building a scale model first. Looking at Craigslist, there seems to be a ready supply of old, dilapidated pop ups for 100-200 bucks. One would make a prefect base for the trailer that I have in mind.

single car carport with 4x $2.50 semi-clear plastic drop cloths stapled between the poles to keep the weather out during my build.

my girlfriend calls it the 10 dollar garage.

:lol:

:lol:

I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to figure out what a BFH was.

I though it was a, standard, engineering term like the WAG

Jeepsters are roadsters (convertibles). That's a wagon. They weren't called Wagoneers until 1963
