How Large, or small, is Your Shop?

[Anthony]

My workshop holds 10 MFTs comfortably amongst a few other bits and Festool pieces.  ;D

Gotta brag sometimes... anyway I can't convert sq ft to sq m so I won't corrupt the vote.

Currently in a typical 24x 24' garage.  But as soon as I get the permits Ok'd by the county, we're adding another 24x 24' behind the original to creat a 48x 24, with an overhead door between the two.  I need the space for the next boat project.  (although my honey thinks it's for her car!!)

Mine is 183 square feet floor area, so I've added my vote in 150-300 sq. ft., but within that there's a bit of storage and a utility area, so the working area is probably under 150. Still, once I get the adjacent room tanked & drylined the utility stuff will move into there.

I took some photos of it when I moved in about 2 months ago, but I still haven't found the lead for my camera so can't transfer the pictures... Once it turns up, I'll post some pics in the 'Shop Tours' section.

Just over 150 ft^2.  I have half a two car garage and the back wall of the garage.  In the warmer months I am hoping to leave my mom's car out and  have the extra space when needed.  We live in chicago and she goes to work at around 6 am and that is just too early to be scraping snow and ice from the car.  I just rearragned the space this past couple of days and hope that it works better.

Truely speaking, I have a nice car garage.  No cars share it, but I do have to accomodate a water heater, boiler for radiant heat, water softener, gardening stuf, and a wide passageway to the house door.  I sometimes feel like the old joke, "my shop is so small I have to go outside to change my mind."

Based on poll results I am in the minority @ 10' by 12'. Outside dimensions that is... so call it 112" by 136", or 15,232 square inches.... Just sounds bigger that way.  [poke]

A bit of yapping about the small shop over here.

The building is 24" x40", but the actual shop space is about 23' x 31'. I have a small office and an equipment/storage room in the back that eats up about 8' of the shop.

The selection options above the "Vote" button do not have the (common?) option "I do not have a shop, when needed I use my garage or a part of it".

Nice "nearly 10 years later" bump

23x28' two car garage here @ 715sqft.  The 3 year plan calls for something a bit larger and standalone.

5500 sqft

Heck you need that just to hold the new molder and a tablesaw or six.

Tiny, just under 150ft2

 

[Kev]

Currently in the planning stage - looking at something 10x18m .. so that'd be ~2,000 square feet, if I can sneak it by the keeper [wink] [big grin]

I could use twice the space.

 

[Arvid]

About 150 square miles

 

[Stephen B]

12000X6000mm or approx 40X20 ft = 800sq ft.

Usable space - 4 square ft!  [eek] [big grin]

Mine is about one and a half car spots in a three car garage. Got a lot in there though with surprisingly plenty of room to move around.

 

[HalH]

I need to remove the two cars from the garage to bring out the big tools!

 

[JakobProgsch]

I have almost exactly 150sqft (14m^2). Being an urban apartment dweller I'm lucky to be even able to rent that in the basement of our building I guess.
