Hobby shop suggestions.

[czar800]

I plan to start building a hobby shop soon.... I would like to have it under roof before winter. I'm looking for any suggestions.

I'm thinking a 26x32 with 10' side walls. It will be mainly used for a hobby woodworking shop with a corner for chainsaw repair.

I'm going to have 4-5 courses of block Layed and stick frame from there.

It will have floor heat from my OWB and in floor power & dust collection at least to the tablesaw and workbench.

I think I'll just drywall the inside and leave the concrete floor alone, other then a sealer.

There will be a bathroom and a sink.

Dust collection to everything

First two are drawing my wife did and the last one is a picture I found on the web.

I'm NOT putting a garage door in it...
I have other buildings to work on big stuff in.

Dust collection to everything

Yes, overhead to other equipment.

Epoxy floor to keep floor easy to clean and bright to see imperfections. I never have enough room around take saw. Is 3ft enough room? Work bench and saw are generally sand height hope boards won't hit it. Anyways always wanted a shower in a wood shop

In my basement shop I've kept as much equipment as possible the same height.
I plan to use the bench as a out feed table.

How about not pouring it on a slab. Frame a floor. You're young and you're going to be standing on it for a long time. Your legs will thank you.

I've thought about that very thing just for being able to have access for dust collection. The downside is theres not really a money savings and harder to heat and insulate.

Use manufactured floor joist. You can still have hot water heat. Either run loops against the underside of the subfloor or baseboard radiators. Be alot easier to control humidity also. Use ICF's for the foundation they go a long way toward temperature swing moderation..

found this on the web a while back

A few weeks ago I started on this project.

Nice equipment ,i see your helper is doing all the work as usual .

Well I've had a change of plans on building a whole new building.
One of the reasons was it's just not cheap to build even with me doing all the work other then laying the block.

Another reason is there's a building at the farm that we fix up a few years ago. It just got filled up with a bunch of stuff after we stop using it for farming. It just became a catch all and not used very efficient.

The down fall is it's shared building and I really can't take over the size I wanted and it's farther away from the house.

Plus side it's a building and not just a dirt pad and it has power and plumbing! Just need fixing.

I'm going to be using the far door and have uses of the chimney.

I'm pretty excited about having my own space that I can make all the dust and noise I want!

I'm planning on putting in a wood floor for a few reasons, One is to insulate the floor be able to have a moisture barrier. Also to be able to run electric to the center of the work area for the tablesaw and workbench.

In just about every free second I'm looking for different ideas/methods that I can incorporate in this project so any input is much appreciated.

As for the other site.... the wife said now we have a nice level spot for a picnic shelter.

Got some more done today.

 

[czar800]

I was hoping to start wiring today after work, but my order was really for pickup.

 

[czar800]

Got some more done the last few evening. I had too lower the garage door so I have room for the ceiling, trust me it wasn't very fun.

 

[czar800]

It's slowly getting done.

Got the ceiling insulated and the steel up.

Next up it the floor and walls.
