Hi!
I hope I'm in the right place.
I didn't see a place for intros
Looks pretty cool here with a lot of good people and info.
Forgive the long-winded intro.
I'm in the preliminary stages of setting up a shop in onebay of -my old "garage" which was never used for cars.
It was always used for my dad's tractor and various other pieces of equipment and junk
Right now, I'm working on replacing a section of the brickfoundation wall that is pushed.
There is a dirt floor.
I'm thinking that, instead of concrete, I would put downtreated 2X4 down and cover with 3/4" plywood.
The shop floor areais @9'X14' not including an area that includes two 5' benches in the front ofthe building.
I'm looking for organization because everything is a bigmess.
I have (mostly) lower end tools because I'm starting from ashoestring.
I don't have a lathe or planer but do have many other of themain shop power tools.
My preliminary plans are to:
Fix the wall
Put some kind of level floor
Make a decision on whether to try to put heat. I have an oldWarm Morning pot belly wood/coal stove
Make some cabinets to fit under my one bench and a shelfunder the other.
Table saw wing extension and, maybe, try to make a Biesemyerstyle fence.
Once I get somewhat set up, I'd like to make a new kitchensink base and a computer desk for my wife.
After that, who knows?
Thanks for allowing me to be here and if there are anysuggestions, I'd appreciate any.
