TOO MUCH !!! in a small space

 As embarrassed as I am to post these pictures  ( I feel I should be at a miniatures anonymous meeting ... LOL )  But to give a look at what My shop turned into through the years.  Its a shame I know .

( PS :  I'm sorry for the bad pics I really do need to get a better camera.)

I'm not a hoarder ... ( I keep telling Myself that.. haha !! ) mostly ran out of room to store things. 

Every nook and cranny of my little shop screams mini.   

Now you see why I so desperately need a larger work space  .....  I don't normally show my full shop pictures  mostly of my Mess LOL.   But I think this is a fitting way to say goodbye to the chaos and hello to organization.  

Thank you for your time.

Finally finished the bracing.

The bracing is DONE !!!! Now for the insulation to be installed.  then the  paneling wood panels that is.  What can i say I like the wood look .

This is a eight foot ladder just to give you some perspective.

WORKSHOP UPDATE !!!!

So at the end of a long weekend I managed to install and paint two rails in white..

Install a dead bolt lock in my door...

and received some square tubing that i will use for braces to put up the interior walls....

The post are pretty spaced out and very strong but the bracing will give me a mounting point to install the wall material....

So now off to work till next weekend .  I have a lot of plans for this space and I don't know where to start LOL !!


Hope everyone's weekend was nice ..

Thank you for looking feel free to leave a comment I'm always open to suggestions.

"NEW WORKSHOP IN PROGRESS"

Yes I  have outgrown my little barn type 12x16 wood working shop.  Its in sad shape anyway. No room to store anymore supplies and build in the same space.   I am tired of moving things around to get to whatever work station I need to get at.

 So I took a big step and invested in a 18 x 40 metal building  18 x 30 enclosed and 10x18 as a  covered front porch .... ( I have to have a place to drink my coffee in the morning don't I )  My new shop is huge compared to my old one I feel like all the equipment i have in the old shop will be lost in the new one ..... LOL !!

I will post some pics of the old shop and the progress of the new one tomorrow " I hope ".   I still have a lot to do to get it ready for the move.



Thanks
Mario.

Here is My old 12 X 16 the side sheds are for storage the middle is my old work shop.. Its rough I know.

This is My new work shop 18 X 40  I had to add the wrought iron ( well My wife wanted me to ).
This will be our work space I'm trying to get her involved in my  miniatures.

I will try to post some progress pictures If I don't get caught up in the rush of getting things done.

Thank you for looking and stay tuned

Mario..
