This is a 10 minute video tour of my basement woodworking shop.
I think I’ve gotten my shop off to a good start, but it still has a long way to go.
I have good tools, in the good locations, good lighting, electricity from the ceiling to keep the floor clear, and good dust collection.
The next stage is to build some good shop cabinetry and a workbench.
This video is a review of a steadicam where I shoot a cool video of my basement workshop.
Here is a panoramic shot of from the middle of the shop.
Another pano showcasing my jointer and tablesaw.
A pano of my miscellaneous workbench area.
My workshop computer is in the foreground.
The 2 garden basement windows are the main way I get large rough lumber into my basement.
You can see my facination with old clocks on the walls.
I am also interested in CNC milling among other things.
This is the main woodworking area of my shop.
You can see the air compressor line on the ceiling.
The air compressor is on the opposite side of the basement.

The back area of the basement.
I need to build an outfeed table / workbench at the back of the tablesaw here.
I store my stains, glues, shellacs and whatnot here near the basement sink.
Nice shop, I just posted a tour of mine HERE earlier today. I see you have the Grizzly 8″ jointer, good tool. I’ trying to figure out a way to get my computer in the shop but keep it safe from dust. My shop is much smaller then your but do you worry about the computer?
Most of the dust that gets that far on the other side of the basement is minimal and very fine. It’s more of a light dusting problem than a problem for my computer. Plus the computer is an old one so I’m not as concerned if it dies.
Nice shop alan…I have one im building that looks around the same size…I was wondering if we could talk dust collection.
i noticed that your furnace si fownhere, do you have nay problems with sawdust blowing throughout your house?
There is an air intake in the basement for the furnace… I closed that off. That may have reduced some of the efficiency of my furnace, but I don’t think it changed much. There is no detectable “fine sawdust” upstairs. How can I be so sure? My wife is Japanese and she runs a tight ship when it comes to house cleaning. She told me I’d be in trouble if saw dust made it to the upstairs. The basement however, does have some very fine sawdust throughout since my basement has no walls.
Nice looking shop.
