WORKSHOP PROGRESS // HOW I AM BUILDING MY DREAM WORKSHOP

1/10/2018

Comments

 
I hope you’re all surviving and hopefully enjoying the winter months. This morning half a dozen steps out the door I was already on my ass, solidifying my first fall of the year. I guess I have to make up for the number of falls I would have otherwise suffered on my ice bike.

Today, I want to provide an update on the progress I’ve made on setting up my workshop. Overall, 2017 was a good year of growth when it came to acquiring power tools and equipment. The floor plan I originally shared may not ever come to fruition, but I have started to distinctly define certain areas of the shop.

For reference, here’s the original floor plan I came up with:

Workshop Planning and Design // How I am Building My Dream Workshop

How to design the perfect workshop space
This year has been full of changes, including becoming a workshop owner-- I mean homeowner, for the first time. I was the lucky guy who was able to purchase a property which had a house, a shop, and some land, all within his budget. The property is by no means perfect, however it lends itself well for future improvements and is all I could have ever asked for in terms of a place to call home.

I know many of you out there love spending time in your garage or shop and in this post I want to share my plans for my shop. Some of the projects I’ve already tackled, while others will require larger monetary commitments in the future. Hopefully some of the features, projects, and plans I’m thinking about incorporating into my shop will give you some ideas and inspiration of your own.

how to set up a workshop for engine building
I like to compare building an engine to performing open heart surgery. The precision and organization that goes into open heart surgery is exactly the mindset you need as you begin to rebuild your engine. Just like an operating room, I require my workspace to be as clean as possible. In the industry, companies have dedicated rooms just for engine building. These rooms are equipped with dust management systems, precise temperature control, and spotless work surfaces. I don’t expect the home mechanic to have this intense of a setup, but you should aim to have the cleanest work area possible.
