currently im working out of a good sized 2 car garage, but i am looking for a house in the country this fall and i am planning on building a dedticated woodshop there that will not house any garage items or ever house a vehicle. it will be for my hobby only. i have been playing on the drafting table to design an building that will allow me plenty of room so i am not moving many tools around.
mostly i build cabinetry but at the same time i like letting friends and family use my shop and tools for projects. im looking to set up for a business as i do home remodling and kitchen cabinetry as side work and i would like somewhat roomy set up as it is easier to keep clean when u do not have to tear down a work station to set up for another process in the project.
i am looking to invest around 40k into just building the woodshop and putting in the concrete floors. i am hoping to have be able to frame, side, and roof the building and have the floors also poured for this money. i figure it will take me a few years after the building is built with trial and error of setting up workstations in different configurations to find something that works for me.
here are some hings i want and i was hoping that the comunity here could help me kind me so i am not wasting money building the place way too big for my needs and having a bunch of wasted space. i was thinking of a 32x40x16 with a raised office and tools storage to maximize floor space for working while reducing clutter. i want to have the place heated by oil or propane. a friend of the family mentioned radiant floor heat using pex tubing and a few large hot water heater. i want a small 8x8 finishing room so i am not spending tons of time cleaning before doing any finishing work. i am hoping to be able to set this place up for maximum efficentcy so i can make money rather than loose money draggin tools out and cleaning all the time. any pointers or things to consider that others ran into that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated or even shop pics or layouts they have would help me out greatly.
