How many sq.ft. is your wood shop?

Post by ExtraMile »

I may be striking a deal with a new place of residence, that has a 60x35 = 2,100 sq.ft. wood shop that I might be made available to me.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them. :)

I have approximately 400sq' (20x20) for my shop. Then I open the garage door and I have the great outdoors as an extension of space.

Mine is 14 X24 (336 sq ft) and when I need a little more space I back the two cars into the drive and then my space grows to 28 X 32 (896 sq ft )

If both vehicles are out 440 if one vehicle is in about 300 if both are in about 50-100

However I still have the Lawn tractor, edger, bicycles, garbage cans, water heater, well pressure tank, freezer and the wife's storage cabinet to contend with. So I'm really fooling myself thinking I have 440 to start with even though that is the finish size of the garage. :eek:

Like most others, the real "shop" space is hard to pin down. My "shop" (garage) is 20 x 22, on paper. However, I measure "shop space" as the amount I can move before running into something (SS, planer, shelving for SPTs and accessories, etc), which is usually about 2 feet. Many items claiming floor space are on rollers if they are not push-able.
