Nevada City House, 2013

First step, turn the garage into a workshop


Image Not Found

The garage had useless white cabinets along one wall and an oil stained floor

Image Not Found

The garage had a bathroom with shower..how convenient

Image Not Found

It also came with a totally useless, big, white, heavy rolling table

Image Not Found

And an even more useless central vacuum system

Image Not Found

The future CNC room had exercise equipment, sofa and crappy TV

After stripping the carpet, painting the walls and epoxying the floor

Image Not Found

The tools start to arrive

Image Not Found

A 220 outlet was installed for the welder

This is how the shop looked on the day it was finished. It would never look this clean again. Note the custom-made welding table with 3/8" solid steel top

Tables on wheels are nice

Image Not Found

The work table wheels are on air cylinders. When inflated, the table moves easily. When deflated, it sits solid

Image Not Found

Dust collection is provided for all machines with a dust port

Image Not Found

Air dryer is installed for spray painting

Image Not Found

Finally, a decent table saw

Image Not Found

And a nice vice

Image Not Found

The original dust collector proved underpowered, and was replaced with a bigger one

Image Not Found

The cold cut metal saw is mounted on a rotary bearing to make use of the material supports when mitering

The shop sink is actually a fiberglass bathtub. It was listed on the real estate ad as a dog wash station, but it makes a GREAT shop sink
