Now this is a workshop!!!

[Kevin Gregoire]

i tend to drool when i see pictures of a big open wood shop with plenty of room for machines and everything else.
but i came across pictures of Jacques Jodoin's shop and my mind has been changed, his shop is pretty large and
the best way of describing it is putting ten pounds of stuff in a five pound box! but on a personal note i have
never seen a more 'cozy' shop and i want to move in!

and while your looking over the pictures (be sure to click on them to enlarge) check to see all the electrical lines in
the ceiling, the joists have to be compromised with all the holes! lol

His shop is better than a Woodcraft store, thanks for sharing.

Nice big shop. I have to wonder how he gets anything done. I would be lost in there.
Way too many tools. Which to use....which to use...

[Andrew W. Thomas]

One second I'm jealous, the next second I cringe at how much of a fire trap that seems.

Just as amazing to me is the absence of dust. Everything looked spotless in spite of the clutter. Dave

Good point - no dust no work ?

Way too much "stuff". I applaud his effort, but he's gone too far with tool "collecting". I find it hard to believe that anyone could work efficiently or safely in that shop.

If that shop brings him pleasure it is exactly right- for him. Dave

[Mike Cruz]

Kevin, not too sure "cozy" is the word...at least not for me. I'll give him this, he sure is organized and as you say, fit 10 lbs of stuff in a 5 lb box!

I'd be afraid of the joists, compromised would be an understatement. The inspector must have had a field day with that!

Obsessive more like.

Sorta fascinating space but yeah looks totally inefficient, I'd have a very hard time working in there with all that visual chaos. Suppose it doesn't matter if you're a hobby-ist though.

I thought someone posted this before???

[Dave Mura]

Nice shop!

David, I was just there last month. Which town are you in?

[Larry Edgerton]

And now you know why I will never post pictures of my shop........
