If there had been a Critter Cam on the front door of my new small shop when I moved in, oh what a tale it would tell. I had moved from a 10,000 sq. ft. shop into a 600 foot one. [I am not good at math.] This shop is my fifth ‘final’ one. Setting up each has been a joy and a job that never seems finished.
The Setting Up Shop lecture is my take on the important things for a furniture-making space. See the caveat right there means I can leave out a table saw, although I have one. This talk will free you up to think about your own space in a new light.
What are the shop monuments that should be set and left in place? What are the things you can tear down and put away? How do you lay out a new shop if you’re not sure what you’ll build? And how do you dig yourself out from the tiny paths all your tools and wood and jigs and forms have created for you now?
I will discuss Shop Flow, Concepts of Woodworking, Hand Tools & Machines, and Strategies for Building. This chat will offer you a template for laying out a new shop or managing one that is impossible now to move through.
Join us for an exclusive event where passionate woodworkers of every skill level come together, forging connections with like-minded enthusiasts, premier tool and product manufacturers, and experience immersive learning sessions.
