So if you had the chance to build a workshop from scratch, what would your must haves be?
The space I am building is a detached garage (man cave). 28'x40'. Single story, scissor trusses for a cathedral ceiling sitting on 12' walls. 12x12 garage door.
Being in the warmer south of Canada (oxymoron?) I am planning to heat with hydronic heating in 6" wire reinforced slab.
Electrical will be 100 amp service 220v single phase.
Things I need to discover is interior finishing.
For the walls I was thinking of using white barn style steel roofing panel, and then for wall storage make French cleat from 1x6 pine boards.
If any or you have a scissor car lift, I would like to know what you think of it.
I am looking at a fixed 60 gallon compressor and hard plumbing shop air. There are air piping kits out there, (Maxline Tubing 3/4") but I was thinking of using 1" black steel pipe. Any suggestions?
Lighting is likely to be regular fluorescent tube.
Not forgetting internet or maybe tv, I am going to bury in a line from the house.
Any "likes" in your shop you cannot do without, or wishes you had.
Thanks,
Ryan
