| Ted Young. When we were looking for a new house, I had one requirement - an oversize garage. My garage is 28 ft deep and I created a 10 by 10 workshop for the lathe. My wood storage is in a shed outside the garage. I used to keep 2 cars in the garage, but gave one to my son and now use half the garage for woodworking. A key point is that I have to keep the garage clean so it doesn't track into the house. The 2 hp Penn State dust collector helps with the cleanups. | |||

Norm Hinman has his shop in a large barn next to his house. It's treasure trove of equipment, wood, and bowl blanks. Dust control is achieved by opening both ends - there is always a breeze. At left, the East Wing and the West Wing. Below, the VB 36 lathe, the Woodcraft lathe, and some of the pieces of wood that are always around. |

Martin Harris saw his first woodturning demonstration in June, 2007 and rushed home to set up a workshop in his basement. Starting with a Jet Mini he later added a Nova DVR XP, the biggest lathe we could get down the stairs!. The basement measures 14' x 11" x 6'2" and provides a nice all-year temperature of 65-72oF. This space is shared with the water heater, central-air system, and a large number of boxes of "things" that my daughter cannot fit into her 600 sq. ft. Manhattan apartment.
