You better be careful before Von sees that post LOL
He told me that I had to stop calling it a shed. After it is built and ready to occupy, it becomes a shop, a workshop or a wood working shop

Well, between my work schedule, the constant rain, and last but not least, spending time with my bride, I have finally managed to move a few things out of my jam packed garage and into the workshop. Lots more to move, but I'm grabbing all the large items first, then all the rest when time permits.
So far I've moved the Red Star/Delta 40A RAS, 2 of the Craftsman Table Saws, the Greenie Shopsmith, and the two vintage metal cabinets I use for Shopsmith Accessories and Turning what-nots. Takes awhile working solo, and having to unearth things and rearrange the mayhem that is my garage at this time. Soon, the garage will be clutter free tho, and that will be a glorious day!

Oh, and two more to pile on! The vintage stereo! An unplanned but very pleasant surprise find were my spools of speaker wire I haven't seen in ages!
I get to ROCK ON soon too, life is good.

I wonder how many 'new' tools you will find in the garage. Just like Christmas!

Is that a primitive Dylos on the top shelf?Originally Posted by Marion Smith
Beranek's Law:
It has been remarked that if one selects his own components, builds his own enclosure, and is convinced he has made a wise choice of design, then his own loudspeaker sounds better to him than does anyone else's loudspeaker. In this case, the frequency response of the loudspeaker seems to play only a minor part in forming a person's opinion.

It's a Phillips turntable on top, Sherwood receiver, Hitachi tape deck, that I primarily use for the Dolby FM circuit. Off camera are the epi speakers.Is that a primitive Dylos on the top shelf?

Nice to see it all coming together.
Tunes are very important in the shop !

I used to have an Hitachi 410 cassette deck just like that, you're dating yourself.
Are you going to insulate? Now's the time.

Ok, time for another wiring question.
My 100amp electric service run will be 170 feet from House Main to the Workshop Subpanel.
Wire will be run in conduit underground.
I am choosing Copper Wire.
What gage and type wire options do I have?
I "THINK" I have an open spot in my house main panel to use, how to tell for sure?
Can I come up out of the ground "under" my workshop and into a studspace?
My Workshop Subpanel I picked out has 24 spaces, good?

How about an update?
Any decisions on insulation or heating?
