I built mine with 2x10's 16" OC. The span is <8'. I did beef it up under the lathe. Floor is 3/4" Advantech plus 3/4 oak flooring. Everything is solid. I would not not recommend 24" OC for any...
I have my V3000 in a closet (perforated hard board/roxul/2"x4" studs/1/2"-ply/steel door) and it was probably a safe level, but still a bit loud for my liking. I have it on a lot when I am turning,...
Yes, Don and Mia apparently have a competition going on. She is beating him, too! :D
Here are pics from this year. I entered a bamboo and walnut bicycle and managed to get a 1st place ribbon! ONLY, to be overshadowed by my 8 year old achieving a hat trick 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! She...
Like John said - you need much more storage for tools other than things that go on tool rests. I have used a combination of PVC and peg board attachments. The cabinets hold all of the smaller...
Thank you. It was a compilation of years of learning/reading/planning/economics to make it happen. I am glad I put the DC in the closet. It is still pretty loud, but not nearly as bad. I only...
It looks like it will be a nice space. I built a 16'x28' shop with 9'ceilings. While resale is certainly important for those of us in neighborhoods, and a lot of natural light is good, I will say...
I have run 3/4" pex for air in my shop. It is in the ceiling and in the walls. I think there are a couple of important factors to consider here - 1) when compared to metal, pex can be physically...
Thanks all. I enjoyed building it and hope to spend a lot of time in there, especially if I can get my kids interested. I am also grateful to have a supporting wife.
John - the wall was pretty...
It has been a while since I have had a shop set up. We moved about 2.5 years ago, and I broke ground Labor Day weekend 2015. With a lot of planning and building it myself, and well, some flat...

No problem. I'm happy to do it, and hope it leads to some inspiration.
Here are the pics I took over the weekend from the event. Enjoy:

I bought the 2 HP 220 volt version two years ago (10020C-22060) directly from California Air Tools as one of their scratch and dent models. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. I have half an...
When we moved about a year and a half ago, I went with the Mayflower equivalent to PODS. They said that the weight limit was ~7,000 lbs, and I packed it full. It was pretty solid and I roped...
My annual link to pics from the show. The turning pieces seemed a little thinner that usual, but the quality was definitely there. Nothing from me this year - the new shop build is nearing...
My opinions:
- You always have a concern of water when you are underground. Is the soil well drained, i.e sand? If so, you are in better shape.
- If you have no signs of previous water damage,...
Enjoy

I knew someone would eventually throw out the 'build it bigger' comment. I agree that we all run out of space if we collect enough stuff, but this is about as big as I'm going to be able to pull off...
Jim, I live in a large suburban town. I started the planning with a trip down to the town permit office. We are on the same page. It was kind of eyeopening to me. They consider anything larger...
I guess I should mention a bit about myself and my background. I grew up working in residential construction, went to school to be a structural engineer, and work in the pipeline related industry. ...
