SketUp Pics of my Workshop Layout

[Lord Nibbo]

Because of requests of how big is my workshop or how is it laid out I done these drawing using Sketchup, I hope you enjoy. For bigger pics just click on my flickr link.

Hang on, hang on don't get all shirty.... :wink:

The sketchup pics make it look all clean and posh, not real is it? Now if you saw it for real this morning you would all cringe cos I've got a friend just cut up the old drive gates and posts with a chainsaw. What an f ing mess. :lol:

That looks like a nice 'shop layout LN.

I've always enived those with a double garage as a 'shop. I've got my single garage nicely set up now, but it's a real *** having to drag certain tools from under the workbench (thicknesser for example). And you have to work methodically, or else you end up working amidst a real shambles.

1 criteria for the next house move - must have double garage :lol:

..and a space in the garden to build the workshop :lol:

Wanna buy my bungalow, sea view, double garage. Not today but will have to down my tools one day.

LN. A day like today with that driving rain means you cannot open your garage/workshop door, if you are ripping an eight feet plus length so you definitely need an extension. :wink:

Thanks for taking the time to do this, Nibbo. It's always interesting to see how others organise their space. Looking at these SketchUp drawings, it almost looks cramped in there, compared to many of your WIP photos!! :shock:

hi lord nibbo

from you comments in your other thread of finding it difficult to find space IMHO it,s mostly from it being a double garage ie.. basically nearly all of one wall is removable the up and over door , you simple cant use that space as it is, you cant fit anything to it, cupboard's, hang thing and you cant place cabinet or machinery there either .

My shop is not a lot bigger than your 24' *14' with only a single door in and out so i can use all four walls for what ever i wish, My shop is undergoing a re shuffle at the moment don't have the amount of machinery as you do yet but will have over a period of time. from the amount of gear you have there it seems it was and will never be used as a garage so do you need the doors :?: or can you redesign them in some way to take e advantage of space along that area, just a few thought for you to ponder .hc good luck

if you really wanted to be realistic you'd of ripped your roof off and taken pictures. That's a great size shop... If i'm not mistaken that looks like a non baring wall :twisted:

 

[Mr Ed]

Excellent - much clearer with the drawings.

Its basically the same size I have, funny thing is that from the pictures I had just assumed it was a bigger area.

So, when is the dividing wall coming down....

Your Nibbship - nice layout but I'd also block up that double garage door as you'd then be able to use all four walls. You'd then be able to put the jointer up against the new wall and then I'd turn the saw through 90deg so that for long ripping purposes, boards could poke through the single doorway - Rob

I suspect LN had planning permission for a garage, which obviously has a door, to take it down is most probably a change of use and needs new planning permission?

Probably so, but it would be just as easy to build a false wall behind the garage door (which could be easily dismantled) should LN ever decide to sell up up and get a proper sized workshop instead of the hovel he has to work in at the moment :lol: :lol: - Rob

 

[devonwoody]

Woodbloke your post has given me inspiration for my double garage, the doors are like hot radiators in the summer and draughty as hell in the winter, New temporary walls inside are a priority now for me to work on.

hi

that was my line of thinking , seen it done many times , lock the doors permanent, so from outside its a garage and build a block wall inside no drafts heat or cold but a lot of extra wall space to use , double whammy easily knocked down and returned to a garage is you decide to move . 8). hc

 

[devonwoody]

Help, how do I get my machinery out or new in.

Im, on a sloping site.

hi

is there another door to the garage / workshop ? hc

ps or a window that could be removed and changed into a door opening .?
