Issue #279 -April
2003
I love oxymorons. My favorites are jumbo shrimp, exact estimate, and
garage shop. These ideas simply cannot coexist. Or can they? Actually,
with a bit of planning, the right tools, and few projects designed
to maximize the available area, it is possible to have both a garage
and a shop in the same space. (The jumbo shrimp thing is still just
ridiculous.)
Tools on mobile bases, a workbench built on shallow cabinets, and
an expandable worksurface are just a few of the ways we turned this
two-car garage into an enormously capable shop without sacrificing
parking.
In fact, a quick look at the photos on these pages will show you that
this shop is full of amenities that would be welcome in any shop,
regardless of whether it doubles as a garage. In this issue, you’ll
learn how to build the compact workstation and the microadjustable
routing guide. And be sure to watch future issues of Workbench for
the construction details on the other innovative projects in this
two-car garage home woodshop. |
