Recently due to circumstances beyond my control I lost my 1080 square feet workshop and 90% of my tools and machinery......Now im in a rental and starting from scratch

The property has a 20x8 feet room much like a single mans camp donger off a mine site but stripped out of beds and furniture .The room had previously been used as a hobby room so I have claimed it for the new workshop.

First restriction I cant screw anything to walls
Second restriction wife says no money for workshops so I took this as meaning if I can do it for very little its ok

pic 6 workbench 2 the nuts bolds screws and timber was procured from two pergolas I had demolished a couple of weeks ago the legs are oregon pine all the workshop tops and backboards where left over mezzanine flooring picked up at a salvage yard for 20 dollars for three sheets and I just cut of the water damage ,the timber overhead cupboards ive started are all made from roadside throw out furniture , wardrobes and all kinds of Ikea junk

Running total at this stage is $40 Dexion shelving $40 red lockers $20 for mezzanine flooring =$100

A work in progress more so come

Excellent work and wonderful scrounging.   Sorry to hear you lost your last shop, I would find it devastating.   For my shop I built the work bench from scrap dimensional lumber.  The steel shelving I drug home from work when the parts department upgraded.  The light over my bench was $5 from a thrift shop.  I'd say you have done extremely well.  Keep the receipts so you can convince the wife!

Nice shop, great job for $100. keep it up...

Very nice, especially for the money you've spent. I really like those "damaged" overhead lockers. Please let me know if you get any extras
