Well I have been following this thread for a while now and I have seen some inspirational workshops and ideas. I am at a point now where I can share my workshop. Unfortunately, it is not 100% finished as I have some more thing I am working on now and more plans that I will be implementing in the future. My first goal and the biggest step was to build the shop and get it to where it is a good functional space. I am almost there. I still have some more organizing and cleaning to do, not to mention some more outlets to run and then some drywall patching, lol.
In order to completely finish the shop I will be building more storage, making a computer desk (don't laugh at the make-shift desk I am using now
), looking into various types of hooks and racks, and getting the finishing touches like some comfortable chairs/sofa and a decent TV of course.
So this whole project started as a need for a climate controlled space for me to store my supplies and do my prop building, mold making, and casting. I live in Houston, TX so it gets a little chilly in the winter and pretty hot in the summer. This wide range of temps can make cure time a pain to work with so I had to do something. Instead of getting or building a whole separate shed in the backyard I elected to erect a wall in my garage. So here are a couple before pics of my mess... I mean garage where I used to work and a some after pics. Also, follow this link to see pics of the whole process. I need to take a few pictures of the Garage space that is left on the other side where we have all the lawn care stuff, bikes, and kids other ride on toys.
