Re: Shop Design dilemma

my suggestion would be go hand tools, your space would be adequate for it, plus dust would be very minimal and easily controlled. take your sweet time making stuff as you enjoy your hobbies. Handtool work is very fulfilling and frustrating sa well....

yes sir timb,this is more economical and more practical too for my situation!:thanks:

Re: Shop Design dilemma

MannyM, Wow grabe, napalaki tuloy dilemma mo, but of course, IF THERE'S A WILL, THEN THERE IS A WAY.

Bro, I have a suggestion, layout your room on a paper and try to position your tables, computer gadgets, electronic, everything existing now, see if you can add shelves to de clogged clutters, well in good, then set aside a wall or a space for your mini woodshop and then enclose or install a partition with a clear acrylic walling para maliwanag pa rin, of course you will have to add an entrance or a small door, be creative and imaginative on how you will arrange your work stations and other tools. 😉

Siguro by doing this way you will be able to envision how to arrange your various stuffs.

Hope this helps bro. 🙂

i agree...brad rosy is very right.

best is divide the room into 2...

just make the woodworking area a little larger then your electronic work area...
woodworking consumes larger area than you might think,
but this idea will make work just fine.

galing talaga ni brad rosy !!!:win:

Re: Shop Design dilemma

For controlling dust -- the very thin large plastic sheets used by painters to protect things during painting ... draped over things, or hung from ceiling to act as transparent partitions.

The small space challenge could be a blessing in disguise ... by forcing focus on hand tools.

For hand tools -- for cutting -- Japanese saw or pull saws in general. Thinner kerf, less dust, less effort. Maybe the whole (traditional) Japanese approach to carpentry.

Guad, are you joining us this Sat sa swap meet?

Guad, are you joining us this Sat sa swap meet?

Thanks, will most definitely ... try my best ... to avoid! No more tools for me! No more wood either! Drowning in both. Moratorium!

Seriously, Sat is travel day ... overdue to get back to province to get started on all that mahogany that we just trucked from Manila (1K+ board feet) otherwise my sanity will get questioned, if not already. (BTW, we transported the lumber on day of last seminar where free drills were given out, another immovable Sat for me, unfortunately.)

Well, at least until Formaply gets new shipment of radiata pine!

Just remembered the name -- plastic drop cloth. Anyone seen this locally? Got from Home Depot (US) before, 2 mil (51 micron) thick. Substitute might be shower curtain or garbage bags -- the locally available ones seem almost as thin as drop cloth!

A similar material is 'stretch' film like overgrown saran wrap. The ones in local hardware stores are 0.6-0.8 mil (15-20 micron) thick. Probably too thin as free hanging dust partition, but maybe if framed...

Takluban mo na lang lahat ng plastic yun electronics section ... if you have small compressor to blow dust for minor clean up mas ok din.
