My shop is located in the east side of a post & beam barn built around 1860. I had an electrician wire it for 110 and 220 and have been slowly adding tools. The shop consists of 3 bays. The south and north bay are each 12 x 12. The center bay is 12 x 24. I use the south bay for storage and set up. I use the north bay for storage. I'm planning to use that for the lathe (shop smith) and sanding tools as they are acquired. Major shop projects remain: 1) permanent dust collection; 2) heating and 3) storage. I have been learning by making what I need, some some of the tables are pretty primitive. I take a woodowrking nightschool course at the local adult ed and am an acolyte at Norm's altar. I took these pictures to keep the insurance company happy. Things look messier than I usually keep the shop because I was loading the benches up with hand tools. You can see more below:
