    Great looking shop. Without a doubt the cleanest shop I've ever seen.

    If I had enough room to park 3 motorcycles and have room left over I would think I had died and gone to heaven. Nice shop.

    David,

    A great shop.

    Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Tks for the nice comments. To answer some of the questions and a bit of added information: The shop tapes 30' wide 50' long. I contracted the concrete and then I hired two guys to help me frame with 10' walls and engineered trusses, these guys also helped me with the windows and the sheet metal. I wired the entire facility and installed the central heat and air system as well as the ducting, I plumbed the shop and I have a bathroom with a shower and since I plan to renovate the kitchen in the live in house, I plumbed and wired for an electric oven for a kitchen in the "Dawg-Haus (shop)" so we have a place to eat while I build cabinets here. I install all of the insulation except I hired someone to blow 18" of glass in the ceiling, I stained and sealed the floor and built the long orange and black Harley Davidson racing colored cabinet that houses my RAS and Mitre Saw. I have a High Definition plasma tv with surround sound, a kegaretor with Sammy Adams for when the work is done....Since I have been in the dawg-haus most of my life, I thought I would make one that was comfortable. I then built a proper workbench and my next project is a cabinet for the kitchen on the end you really can't see by the beer fridge and then I will build a proper bar. I presently have several old woodworking machines all dating from the 50's to the mid seventies except for my Delta HD shaper which is a 1980. Anyway, thank you so much for looking and a question: Is a shop ever finished?

    I'd also like to know more about your floor. I'm going to do my garage floor when it warms up, and I like the looks of yours much better than the gray I had planned.

    Nice shop and great pictures! Thanks much for sharing it!
