Yep. I'm also going to keep all my tools inside of L- Boxes and sustainers.Better then nothing. Still awful smallish. Better make sure you have everything organized real well.

NiceeeThis is my work shop. Don't mind the mess. I'm in the process of doing some "spring cleaning". It's usually spotless. I'm a stickler for cleanliness and organization. I have what I consider 4 sections. The small section I keep my motorcycles in. The upstairs loft is for general parts storage. And the main section I work in. The back section is usually open, but in the winter I have a big tarp that I have rigged with paracord and a couple of pulleys, so I can lower and raise it at will. It's a decent sized work shop, so it allows me to lower the tarp down, so I only have to heat where I'm generally working.
Pics 1-4 is the main/back section. Pic 5 is my small section. Pic 6-7 is the upstairs loft.
Pic 8 is the small section, where I keep nuts/bolts, screws, nails, ect. Like I said, I'm a big stickler for organization and cleanliness lol.
I will be building it right next to my open air workshop.You need to plan for efficient storage and workflow. Don't neglect lighting.
Suggestion: Build a spare outside work table with a 16"-24" strip of plywood and fold-able or stack-able saw horses. This doubles your workbench size and lets you do grinding or nasty chemicals in the open air. Easy to store out of the way when you aren't using it.
Nice saw fence. I prefer the Biesmeyer but they are getting tough to locate. The unifence does have advantages also.My tablesaw became my "bench" I go from chainsaw mode to woodworking mode every now and then. Not shown is the rest of the 16x45' shop.

I’ve used both but prefer the Uni. Biesmeyer May be easier to adapt jigs to but I’ve been able to build whatever jig I need adapted to this fence. The ability to lay it flat has come in handy for smart piece cuts.Nice saw fence. I prefer the Biesmeyer but they are getting tough to locate. The unifence does have advantages also.
What's up in the tree house above? Why can't that convert to a workshop if it's already enclosed? Bring in power and a radiant space heater, you're in!I will be building it right next to my open air workshop.

I also have a dust extractor so that way I will not need to go outside to do sanding. I bought the dust extractor because it was on sale from $700 to $550. Wood dust drives me absolutely crazy and I have an extreme allergy to it. It was still a very worthwhile purchase and has saved me a lot of cleanup and down time from being congested all the time. It also extends the life of blades, sanding attachments, as well as respirator filters.
He still plays in it lol.What's up in the tree house above? Why can't that convert to a workshop if it's already enclosed? Bring in power and a radiant space heater, you're in!

When I was young my father told me that I when I was old I would hate stairs. I am now old and I hate stairs, ladders, etc. I have not been upstairs in my house in close to two years.Ha, half my spare parts are up a ladder in the loft
