It doesn't matter how hard you hit it, nowt … [Read more I'm always whinging about something. So the thing this blog is good for is that someone always has an answer. And it shuts me straight up. When I was moaning about drill bits in the marking knife post, we got plenty of suggestions for bits that you find overcome my problem.
You weren't … [Read more Most of you will know that the vast majority of my tools are what I would call good quality 'workman like' tools. I have a few modern posh things, but they're not in daily use. It's nothing against them, but my old friends are like comfy old work boots. They let in … [Read more I don't know if this is just me. Cheers for all the blogs ad updates. My current workshop is the small front room of our house. I am surrounded by large windows that let me see outside from every side.
Great to hear from you again and what a useful little e-book on why Hand Tools. Greatly looking forward to more projects and videos in the coming year.
This winter I have a wood burning stove donated by my mother-in-law — and it is brilliant. I started out using machinery and power-tools, but I now work mostly with hand tools and much prefer the closer connection with the material. I think hand tool working gives you a much deeper understanding of what it is to be a woodworker. If you predominantly use power tools and machinery I think it begs the question of whether you are a woodworker or a wood machinist?
Thanks for another good and encouraging read, and for the time you both invested in producing it. Hope all goes well with the barn renovations. Also a big thanks to the folks who commented — knowing a bit about the way others get on helps me too. My upcoming workshop is in the half-basement of the cottage with decent windows looking south through some woods to the lake.
Lots of trim and finish to do but it is snug at least. The cottage is heated with wood. We have had record snow this January — more than 3 ft. Elbow room. The ability to move around the bench somewhat. I look at people working in apartments and tiny spaces and the one thing I see in common is that they work on physically small projects or they have to go through a dozen hoops to get anything done at all. Lovely post! I lucked out as an artist owned our house previously and had already built a 21x 15 workshop.
My Little John workbench sits across one end, with plenty of room to move around it. Once these are installed and I can control temps better I will truly be like a pig in shit. The quest for the perfect workshop could also become an excuse not to start anything. Same with tools, joinery—anything actually. Rock solid, and over-engineered probably, but I can dismantle it and take it outside, or anywhere I go. My buddy workbench.
And that is perfect for me. Great post to get the neurons firing. Seems to me that any workshop will ultimately become an expression of the personality of the person who will be using it, so whether the shop is a re-purposed bedroom, half a garage or a purpose-built studio, the motivated woodworker will take advantage of whatever opportunities the space offers and make that space work.
That said, some spaces are just easier to like than others. For me, important characteristics of a likeable work space include: lots of natural light, easily controlled temperature, plenty of natural light, enough room to swing an 8 foot board in any direction, and large windows full of glorious light. After having grown up watching Norm Abrams, I thought I needed a big shop.
Like you, I am amazed at how little space I really need. I am a hobbyist hand tool woodworker. I basically work along a wall in the garage. Without any sacrifice or discomfort, my space is 10 feet long.
I have some cabinets on the wall as well for miscelanous items. In terms of depth, the bench needs two feet and ideally I like about 3 feet behind me but can get by with less if the car is still in the garge. Of course, I dream of a square foot shop full of windows and a recliner chair in the corner. What I currently have suits me well and I am quite content to work in it.
