The Sun Shop Remodel

 

Phase 2

After the initial build was complete, and after using the shop for a few months changes began. After a time some major remodeling was conceived.

These changes included exterior modifications, workstation development, new machinery purchase/install, etc. Much of the change had to do with the dust collection system.After connecting virtually all of the workstations to a dust collector, it became obvious that the shop was simply too crowded.

So the following changes were made over a period of a couple of years.

Attic Remodel

Storage racks were added and the area was rearranged.

Ladder Hoist

This changed access to the attic in a huge way!!!

Rear Shop Extension

A covered area was developed in the rear of the shop.

The air compressor was established there.

Both of the major dust collection devices were relocated.

A remodel of the north wall area was made so that there was better storage options available.

Additionally, the bench was downsized to allow for the jointer to be added.
