Robert,

Here's a look at my small basement shop. My area is roughly 14' by 14'.
I chose to go with the island in the middle so I could work around all sides
of the table. My benches are all 24" wide by 36" high. To keep things neat
and tidy in such a small space I have plenty of drawers and shelving.

I wish I had a shot from the other angle as there are more cabinets against
the wall. One of these cabinets is 36" long, 20 inches wide and 30" high.
On top of it is my bender and below is the perfect stash for zoot.

Chris, that’s a mighty fine looking shop you got there!

Looks like you got enough room to build 4 or 5 if you wanted to?

Really like the pegboard thing!

My guess is, that you do other kinds of work in there too, unless that propane torch is used to
burn up them guitars that don’t come out right.

Robert

Robert,

As long as I keep things picked up there is plenty of room for one guy to
get sufficient work done.

I've built a few custom cruiser bicycles down there before I put the island
in. Most of those tools on the back wall are all bicycle tools.

Chris, that's a very interesting bike!

You custom built that? Excellent!

Almost has a Harley look about it?

You know, this gives an idea for a new thread!

What if someone posted a new topic that could go something like this-

What else do you build, besides guitars?

What do you think?
