Casey, you're back! 😀🥳🎉 I have the same miter saw. No suggestions, it's just too darn big. If a smaller, non-sliding saw would work for your needs, I bet a carpenter or contractor would gladly trade. Congrats on the new shop!
Looking good. Glad to see you again.
Thanks Jerry! Looking forward to having a full blown shop again and be making normal videos
You might want to consider a non-load bearing, plywood or drywall divider wall between the casting side and the sawdust side. That gives you more working wall space, reduces dust infiltration on the resin side, and can give you better work flow on both sides. Even a good place for “pantry” cabinet(s) or your current rack type storage. Repurpose extra cabinets, or find more. Options: old sink base= good height for chop saw. Extra upper wall cabinets can repurpose into pressure pot stands or carts. Turn a narrow cabinet or two on side, use drop desk hinges, add wheels. If 36” wide, put two back to back, or stack. Add risers and another cabinet (or two) for storage above the pots with flip up doors. And I hope you allocate a clean “packing and shipping” work area, (near the door and the computer?). Resin area ventilation needs to be located so that you do not draw sawdust laden air into the resin area. Take time to review your work/materials flow to maximize efficiency in your space. And a work cart to hold and move materials in progress can reduce carrying them around. And wheels under almost everything will allow you to change arrangements as needed. Lots of work, but satisfying when done well. Have fun!!!
Thanks for all the advice Val I really appreciate it! I think those are all fantastic ideas. I have toyed with the idea of closing off the dust area from the resin area in a non permanent way but haven’t figured out the best way yet. Really excited to get it all situated!
@@CaseyMartin707 A rolling (think blackboard/plywood frame) divider(s) can help you work out the where until you figure out the best arrangement, then remove the wheels and add top cap. An extractor fan on each side might be called for. For above the wall, use a soft divider like stapled up and cut to fit shower curtains or other cleanable fabric. Another option is a retractable shower curtain wall that crosses the room on suspended curtain rods. 😁🤔😁
Another hint: flat surfaces are easier to keep clean than tools. Keep only the most needed tools out where they can gather dust. Store everything else in drawers, behind or on the back side of doors, in covered flip top racks, or enclosed in something on a shelf. Think “clean as a kitchen”, not “display every tool”.
Nice. Like the use of painted plywood on the wall -- I used 1/4" Melamine coated hardboard on mine for the white color to make the shop bright and screwed it on to allow me access to behind the wall as needed in the future without having to do demolition to do so. I'm assuming you are going to add more light as you finish up -- that's one thing I've found, you can't have too much light. It's really good that you have pictures before you closed up the walls. That's going to be really helpful to you in the future when you want to make modifications or add things; you will know where the electrical wires are running so you can take that into account.
On the wall with base cabinets I would put adjustable shelves, in the cabinet with your 3 HF Pressure Pots why not relocate the inside shelf to the bottom of the HF Pressure pots after you sink them in so you can maximize storage in the cabinet. When you get organized and have a couple extra dollars consider a Mini Split unit for AC and Heat. Nice space!! Congratulations!!
Great to see you in your permanent shop. You might want to switch out those cabinet shelves for drawers. It's easier to grab things from the very back of the cabinet.
That’s a great idea Angi!
Great to see you back Casey!!! Shop looks good so far. It’ll just take time for you to figure out what works for you. Looking forward to seeing more videos soon. Take care
Thanks David! Happy to be back!
