18 Shop Clock

18 Shop Clock

Like all of the other projects we designed for IDEA SHOP 2, this wall-mounted clock had to meet two criteria. First, it had to perform its task well. And, second, it had to be an attractive addition to our workshop. To address the first, we selected a clock face with large numerals so that you can tell time easily from anywhere in your shop. And, as for the second criteria, we think you'll agree this clock is good enough to grace the wall of any workshop. Click below for information about downloading the plan.

All the baby tools are so cute in the extra clean, never used workshop. I like the cabinets though!

A few feet off to the side of my garage is a small storage shed where I am able to keep my lawn equipment, storage boxes and such. I do wish I had aseparate shop for welding and such. But that will come with time. Luckily my garage has a carport on it so I can keep the truck there<);o}

Got 1/2 of a two car garage without the dust collector problem--I thought ahead and put it outside in a shed and use a remote switch to turn it on and have only 4" holes in ceiling space. As a master electrician(retired) I built the power then vaccuum, then stationary tool locations--the rest of you guys must luv noise--why else you put the vaccuum inside?

THIS IS A NICE GARAGE SHOP. I'M BUILDING A 2-CAR GARAGE WOOD SHOP FOR RETIREMENT & FUN. MY SHOP WILL HAVE A SEPERATE WASHER AND DRYER AREA AND HOT WATER HEATER AREA BUT I STILL AM WORKING AROUND THESE PROBLEMS AND LOOKING FOR IDEAS TO SAVE SPACE.

Also note that this is a 2-1/2 car garage, not a 2-car garage. The extra width make a big difference

these plans are all well and good but in the real world, we also have to contend with other, space robbing elements of the smaller garage / shop. Lawn equipment, storage boxes, seasonal stuff like lawn chairs... and we also need lumber storage.. with all my tools against the wall, i have no place to put plywood and such plus no place to hang anymore pegboard.
