I have all but completed my winter project which was a shop update and I figured that I ought to show pics now because it will never get any cleaner than in these pics.
The project started after I got a halfway decent deal on a cyclone DC and was looking at installation options and it just spiraled out from there (my wife says it spiraled out of control but....). Key goals were 1) control dust as much as possible and 2) layout with a bias towards maximizing usable floor-space
There are some remaining issues like painting the floor (can’t do that until it warms up), touchup paint, installing a cabinet for spray gear etc. but that is small stuff relatively speaking.
Shop is in a three-car garage. Prior to the update I had two full slots and for this I claimed all but a very small sliver of the third slot so I was able to increase usable space by almost 50%. I changed the layout around, relocated and hard-piped my compressor, relocated the DC to reduce noise in the house, introduced some Festool, etc. I also relocated all stock not specifically involved in a project. It was surprising to me how much room that was able to buy me and how much it reduced the cluttered feeling I had prior. However, to be truthful, my stock storage was far from optimal. Project took about 3-4 months and lasted wayyyyyy too long.
Anyway, comments / critiques / suggestions for improvement welcome. Shots are just random ones taken from every corner basically.
