New workshop build

[HAXIT]

Well done. Shop looks great. Enjoy it now after all your hard work.

Which megawall profile did you use?
Did megawall provide the green screw cover or was that your custom touch?
Will any standard slat wall hooks, etc work, or do you need special ones?

I've been leaning towards some type of metal peg board vs slatwall, but this looks great and will be much better than any plastic/mdf variant I've only seen up,until now. This is a great find.

Thanks for sharing the project from beginning to end with all the little details. Now go break in all that new equipment.

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.The megawall profile that I used called 1 3/8" flat back A138-1s-96.
They only sell the tracks, for green screw cover and hooks look here.https://www.storesupply.com/vinyl-slatwall-insert-green-45239.aspx
The standard hooks work on this one which I mixed match to get what I needed but I am not sure if they would work with other tracks that they have.

This is an amazing workshop. I have been following this avidly. My favourite thread in a long time
Those photos would have been at least 18 months apart if it was me

You must have another area for all your crap

You have inspired me. I'm going to try and get my workshop floor painted in the next couple of days

And again amazing

Mick

Thanks and good luck with floor. [smile]

Wow wow wow!  So many things I'm drooling over.  But I'm imagining the handiness of those Felder tables to be almost invaluable.

Thanks, I always work alone and these two tables act like an employee.

This has been an amazing  project in just the time it took.  There is just one thing you have not shown. Your scrub area for when you are about to perform surgery. 

I love the clock.  Do you pour water on those tiny tools to make them useful and then shink them when finished?

All kidding aside, your planning and vision have been great. You have a terrific work space.

Thanks Tinker and much appreciated. The clock was my idea, I designed and there is a website that they made it for me. It is made out of 1/4" acrylic.

This is quite possibly the nicest shop transformation I have ever seen, never mind the fact you did it in just over a month. I'm also going through the process of building a shop in my basement, so I can appreciate the sheer amount of time you've invested thinking this through and getting it done. I have a feeling there are tons of little details you agonized over, but will never be noticed by the casual observer since they seem obvious now. Laying out each machine to have proper in/out feed areas, especially around all of the obstructions is a brain twister in itself.

Kudos to a job well done. You have truly inspired me and likely many others on this forum.

Mind if I ask where you are located?

Your build is inspirational...both in looks and speed of execution. All of your equipment choices (A3-31, N4400, CMS...) have been on my wish list for a while. Seeing them all together in one space increases the want.

Well done! [cool]

That is a piece of art.  Thank you so much for sharing.  Bill

This is one of the threads that I know I will refer back to from time to time for all the great ideas you've presented. 

Your build is truly amazing and it's astonishing how quickly you completed it!  I only wish I could have half your energy. LOL

One question - What's the main ceiling height?  It looks low and I wondered how that affected some of your decisions.

Thanks, Mike A.

Wow. This is one of my favorite posts, very excited for you Haxit.

I had a few questions about your epoxy floor. I have just re-did my garage/shop and want to do an epoxy floor in 2017 so I was hoping you could provide some insight with a couple of things:

- Looks like you did the grinding and finish yourself. Can you provide some feedback on the difficulty/skill set needed to achieve that finish? I've redone hardwood floors but never concrete.....I am thinking "it's my garage/shop, so why not give it a shot".
- What brand of epoxy did you use?

Thanks in advance and congrats on a beautiful work space. Can't wait to see future project posts.

Thank you very much for great comments and yes the ceiling height is not the best here but not too bad compare to the some very low ones. The open areas now after hanging the drywall is few inches under 8' and other areas where there is duct work is  10" shorter but it did not effect any of my decisions. The worst would be the band saw but it fits nice without any problem.

Thanks and yes I did the whole floor myself and it has nothing to do with hardwood flooring. Some processes are rather critical then difficult.You can buy everything you need to finish the job here.

I have no problem to share and help anytime you ready to start. Go to this web site and read some of the processes and watch the clips as well and see if you are comfortable to do it yourself. This is where I really wish that I could get some help because having a very short pot life make it much harder to work alone.

Very nice transformation!  I love those tables, very handy and versatile.  Question, how did the movers get the planer down there?  Any issues with the table alignment after they finished?  How did you find movers that would handle small machinery in residential settings?  I've got a saw and J/P sitting in my garage.  When the warm weather returns I need to rebuild the basement stairs, then I need to find someone to get them downstairs.  And of course this entire thread had polluted my brain with more ideas that hurt the wallet and timeline. 

Great job, enjoy the new shop!

Once again,thank you very much everyone for comments and feedback.
I kind of getting embarrass if I really deserve all these great comments from you guys. [embarassed]

Thanks and I am glad to see that my ideas can be used by others in the future. [smile]
No issues with table alignment at all. They were 4 people with small industrial moving experience. I called many places for this but I was keep getting  answers like no we do not do it or they did not bother to call back till I found these guys. They had some kinds of moving cart that I have never seen before. They came in went in the garage and just look for few min and chat then all three machines were down in the basement less then half hour safely. I was very happy about this and tip them for lunch.

These low budget shops are so boring...

That work with the floor is amazing, so I'm not surprised a great sequel. Great look. Congratulation for workshop and wish the happy new year for you.

Thank you very much and you are a fantastic maker as well. Happy new year and wishing the best for you my friend.

One of the best organized shops that I've seen.

Where's the dust?  I think if you told us that the shop was self-cleaning, we would probably believe you!

Seriously, if I did a shop that looked like that, I'd think twice before I started my first project because it would never look that pristine again.  I hope that you enjoy making dust there for many years to come (and of course, capturing as much of it as possible with your dust collection system before it hits the floor).
