Well, thought I'd share a couple pics of my new workshop. Nothing too elaborate. It is a 10' x 16'. Now I can really control humidity.

Pretty small so hard to take pictures. Got all my tools out there now and moved alot of my wood last night.

That will work! It might be a little crowded when you, Seth, Gavin AND Morgan are all in there together building guitars. :lol: One suggestion. Before you get too far,you might want to tape and paint the drywall. It will keep the room much brighter and it will only become more difficult to do the longer you leave it. Looks great.
Cheers,
Danny

Definatly tape and paint your drywall. Latex paint is an excellent vapor barrier (rates right up there with polyethylene sheathing) and wll help control humidity.

White paint will significantly increase the lighting in the shop. In my former job,I had a large toolboard mounted on the back wall,painted gray. When I repainted it white,it was remarkably lighter near the toolboard,though the lights were the same.

Nice shop man! I also have a small shop. It encourages me to organize out there and make room :)

Excellent! That is about the size of my shop, except that mine also serves as my junk storage (no garage!), place to do other hobbies and etc. I am SOOO looking forward to when I get to build something new! :-)
