Re: Post Your Workshop pic/s

Here's the latest panoramic of our workshop I can find, from the end of August. It is a "portable" temporary building on campus, located right here (the middle of the five small buildings).

We rearranged a bit in November, moving the portable shelving units to the panelled wall to the left, and the green workbench/storage box to the right of the 'bright" window. It's much smaller than the classroom we were working in our first four years, but we don't have to set it back up as a classroom at the end of each build session, which is both a blessing and a curse (especially the days before bag and tag when housekeeping was put way on the back burner).

We have a 12 foot built-in rack for metal, wood, and PVC stock, a 2'x4' freestanding 5-shelf unit without wheels, two 16" x 48" shelf units with wheels, an approx 15 drawer toolchest, two storage workbenches, two 4'x6' workbenches, two 3'x5' workbenches, and a couple of old desks for computer programming, as well as a freestanding drill press.

We also (this year at least) had a half-covered concrete pad behind the classroom where we built last year, (100 ft SSW of the workshop) where we do most of our saw, grinder, and large projects like building defenses and pit displays. We keep these tools on a cart which stows to the right of the position where the photo was taken.

It slopes about five degrees towards the back
