This is the size of the space that has been given to me in the manse I moved into, I lost my nice basement workshop in the process.

There are low ceilings on the sides but it's hard to argue with the size. to fThe only issue is the fact that the room has been used for storage space by the last 6 pastors over the course of the last 30 years.

Many of the tools would sit on mobile bases to allow them to have more free space if necessary while keeping the majority of the central space clear.

Semi-Permanent Bench Grinder Mount
Threaded inserts keep grinder locked-down, but easily movable.
My work table often pulls double- and triple-duty for tons of shop tasks. Most often it's sharpening, but I also use it for drilling, holding bench hooks and shooting boards and occassionally as a chop-saw station. Hopefully soon, it will also hold a midi-lathe. Since I plan on rearranging the top pretty regularly, I wanted a way to... read full tip
