Building a good workshop is an art all to itself, A workshop is something everyone I've ever known either had one or wanted one. I've always had one so I believe I know something about this subject.We take some considerations into account first hand. But first let me say I personally believe everybody should have a workshop whenever possible whether you use it for work or not, even if it is just a place for personal reflection and some personal quiet time.
Also it is worth mentioning that if any work does come from the so called workshop, thats money saved. have you paid for a carpenter these days,well they have to make a living too and it aint cheap.ha ha. Now some of these workshop people just collect tools they don't actually do anything with them. But some do a lot with a little. Somewhere there is a middle ground that probably describes a lot of us.
Some of us buy tools everytime we have a problem, so we save money by fixing it ourselves. Yeah that all sounds good except we spent twice as much on the tool to do the job,oh well we will have the tool next time,you know if the next time happens before we are put into a retirement center.
What you can stock in your workshop is common everyday tools,you know the basics. That is what you are going to need most of the time anyway. Build your shop accordingly, what are your regular habits,What will your primary duties in your workshop be. Is it woodworking, Is it working on the lawnmower?figure this out and design your workshop accordingly.
A lot of people like to put up pegboard and hang their tools up for the world to see. I prefer to keep my tools locked down in my tool boxes. But you know different strokes for different folks. Something else you may want to consider is if you would be better served by a ramp at the door way. Do you have 4 wheelers or will you be storing lawn equipment inside your shed or workshop
Lets talk about workshop cabinets now. Of course you can always build yourself some really nice cabinets, but what I thought I might do this time is buy some of those nice workshop cabinets from sears. They are really nice and all you basically have to do is get them home.
