What does your Workshop/Workspace look like?

I am sincerely jealous of your ventilation possibilities and starting with a blank slate. Instead of garage or shed, I vote to call it a studio. Not sure what you are using for your interior wall substrate but I am fond of using OSB plywood instead of drywall in my shop. Mainly because I am able to securely screw impromptu shelving or holders anywhere.

Please keep showing updates.

Hi Studio it is...good call :thumbsup

Walls will be 9mm MDF with double bubble foil insulation beneath, same for floor and ceiling. Not long until Saturday when garage...shed...sorry STUDIO is built. Electrician comes round tomorrow to quote for power and lighting. Need to dig a trench so I can bury the power cable from the STUDIO to the house, Cables will be run in steel galv flexible conduit to protect them from rats and me (with a shovel in a year or two when I have forgotten its there!)

I will be installing a ventilation grid each gable end to allow air passage through. Hope this is enough to keep the balance of ventilation and insulation.
 
I run a scene shop for theatre so I just use that as my work space.

But I also keep tools and supplies in my office







 
I've just started getting into prop replicas, so my workspace right now is the kitchen table. I'm trying not to be envious of the workspaces I've seen here, trying, but not succeeding.
 
Studio arrived to day and has been built.

Moved house late last year, and finally got my inside workspace set up a few weeks ago.

On the opposite wall (behind me as the photo was taken), is my computer desk for researching and 3D modeling.

In addition, the house was built with a 3rd garage space specifically as my"heavy" workshop area, i.e. anything generating significant debris like grinding, lathe, and hopefully when money is less tight a welder. At the moment, that space is chock full of boxes as we slowly get stuff unpacked into the house.
 
I sold my house in 2005 when you could put curtains on a cardboard box and ask $150,000 for it, I got three times what I paid for mine, stuck the money in the bank and now live in a two bedroom apt. This is one of the bedrooms, my hobby room. I only miss the house when I need to paint, it's
a bit of a pain, but I'll live with it for now.....

NICE BSG....BIG!
 
With my parents coming to visit this week, and I haven't seen them in 3 a half years, knew I better clean the place up....so why not a take a pic of the workspace while clean.
A very small room, about 9 x 11, but its still a lot nicer than what I've had in the past. This being an actual extra room and not my bedroom.

I'm mostly working outside right now at a friends place, but i have to find myself a nice workshop. I just don't have place at home :p

If you need room you can send me your sentinel ;)
you needed time to take down your R rated posters
 
[EDIT: gah, the video of my studio is also the advert I did for an etsy listing. Sorry I spammed, I need to make a non-commercial version of that video.]

Hi, newbie here checking in.

I have two workspaces at home, "the office" and "the studio". The office is my upstairs office where I do design, electronics, and music work and the studio is the garage where I have a mill, lasersaur, welding rigs, compressor with hard line, and all the other dirty/smelly/annoys-SWMBO tools. I am rearranging the office this week so photos there aren't so easy, but you can get an idea of my studio on my flickr site. I'm rearranging the office because after coming up with a new way to organize my tools I'm now redesigning half of my office. It turns out a lot of the crap in the office really is crap that needs to go in the basement and live in carefully labeled boxes, I'm pretty certain I don't need a selection of optical end stops or old reprap stepper motor drivers in the next few weeks/months/eons.

A lot of previous work was furniture, fixtures, and custom devices for prototypes. My wife and I have done some work in el-wire and are starting costumes for an upcoming fund-raiser at the Pittsburgh Toonseum and Halloween, so all the stuff that isn't paying client work can take a vacation downstairs while I work on my Darth Yinzer outfit. "Yinz underestahmate da powah of da dak side."
