I took a couple of quick photos of my tiny workspace. It isn't that bad; where I stood to take them is in the other bay of the garage and I can back my wife's car out to give me more room 
What a mess, huh? .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")
When everything is put away, it actually fits and you can walk around in there.
Here is the area in front of my wife's car: 
Those are the tools I move out into the garage when I back her car out.
There is also a 9" bandsaw on top of the cabinet on the left, which has a few handheld power tools in it. |

Folks I have been to Andy's shop. The pictures makes it worse then it really is. Andy, most of my shop is on wheels but it works for me. Your shop works for you which is all that matter. With 7 year old triplettes it is a wonder you can get any shop time at all.

Now that is the kind of shop I would feel right at home in. Usually I try to keep a large open area cleared down the middle to walk through but I have started two projects with big pieces and now it is even hard to get around in my shop. I just do not have time to work on anything right now.  But there is light at the end of the tunnel for me: I am retireing in a couple of months and time should not be a problem for me.  | |

Andy, your shop looks just like mine used to!  To the untrained eye, you would think that there is no way you could ever find anything in there, but you know where EVERYTHING is don't you?

Andy:
Have you been taking shop layout advice from Steve Coles? .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)")
Seriously, it looks like the best kind of shop: a shop that gets used alot!

If you're happy with it and it works for you that is all that matters. Looks like you do have a lot of task type lighting. Standard lighting in a garage leaves a lot to be desired.

Hey Andy,
Man, how did you manage to get pictures
of my shop? I didn't see you come out here
and start taking pictures. 
If it works for you....go for it!!

Roger You must be seriously desparate for inspiration.
Actually, I will have to take more pics when I have stuff put away, and in an oxymoronic twist, when I have more stuff out. By that I mean I should take a picture of my router carriage, my work table top for the workmate, my carving motors hanging, etc. What causes me to get it in such a mess is that I only have a couple of small work surfaces, so everything is brought out to the same spots. If I need to do one operation in the middle of the other, I will try to fit both and it starts looking like that. | |
