Thread: Bathroom Workshop Pics

  1. #1

    Bathroom Workshop Pics

    This forum is great and really helps me. I live in a studio apartment in Manhattan, so this is my workshop.. I have a few benchtop tools (bandsaw, drill press, table saw) that I move in and out as necessary. That is my shower razor sticking out from the pile of sawdust. Cleaning up every day is a pain. My "lumber supply" is next to the front door with my shoes. Thought some folks with huge workshops may get a kick out of this. How I wish for a real workshop.

    Wow - I have to give you a salute. that's pretty impressive.

    I suppose squeezing a cyclone DC in there is out of the question?

    Unbelieveable. Nice work even if you had had ten time the space. Very impressive.

    I'm impressed!
    The only thing I would do in addition to what you do is to tape up your bath drain with blue tape or green tape before working.

    After some time, sawdust will pile up in there and you'll have to snake it sooner or later

    Thanks for reminding us that you don't need a big fancy workshop full of expensive gizmos to do beautiful work.

    A great example of doing good work with the tools and talent you have.

    Nice!

    I will have you in mind next time I grumble about my 2 car garage shop!
    I'd say you are a prime candidate to slide on the Neander slope working inside of your dwelling. You must get some usual looks-questions from any visitors. I doubt too many Manhattan residents have a WW shop... nevermind one in the bathroom.
    Dedication to the craft, you've got!

    Something about a will and a way comes to mind.

    Very impressive work. The bonus is that you are really required to clean up after you work, I have a tendency to allow it to go for a while before I do any spiffin up.

    So small, and still the most expensive workshop on the board.

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

    Matt, you're single, aren't you?
    I remember using my living room to build my workbench when I was single.
