I once told someone that you can never have too big of a shop. I have been both wrong and right in that statement. If you are just storing things in it and utilize ocasionally, big is fantastic.
I converted my wifes horse barn into a bow shop and got too busy to finish insulating it. It is now too big and expensive to air condition or heat. My wife has somewhat grown used to the idea and helps me clean it (or I should say cleans it for me). Even though the shop is big though, (24x70) there is never enough wall space for shelves and racks and such.
Oh well, I've never had enough time to build and organize anyway.

What I like to do now and then is tour the New Yankee workshop online, to get ideas. Now there's a shop to die for

Sorry Roy, that picture is about 5 years old. None of that sage left but, the building is still the same 12' X 12".

Dano, I prefer the woodrights shop!

Yep, The Woodwrights shop would do it all for us. Woodworking tools for bows and shafts then over to the blacksmith section to forge the arrowheads...

Here is my shop. It is not as clean as Dano's. I guess that is why I can never find stuff.

Mike Most · January 10, 2010, 05:37:00 PM

Mine is more like Pats. I like it Enough said.

Dano · January 10, 2010, 06:50:00 PM

Real nice shop Bill, that's the way I want mine to look like once I get it broke in.

I am jealous. My bow shop is in the basement of my 100 year old house. I have my workbench positioned just right so my head doesn't hit my hand hewn timber floor joists. When I'm working in the spring time or after a heavy rain I have to where my rubber boots down there.

Some dinky racks on the wall there Peckerwood:)

Peckerwood · January 10, 2010, 09:05:00 PM

Them are my Pa. mountain buck trophies ! Some day , when the deer become totally extinct , they will be a collectors item.

The good stuff is in the house.

Nice finishing station I see back there Bill.

Roy from Pa · January 10, 2010, 09:49:00 PM

LOL Bill, I understand.

Pennsyltuckey pete · January 10, 2010, 10:22:00 PM

Deer are practically extinct in my area of the state!

DVSHUNTER · January 11, 2010, 12:10:00 PM

I don't really have a shop so much as a small space in my garage, but it has everything I need to build selfbows.

DVSHUNTER · January 11, 2010, 12:37:00 PM

even has some split today osage I'm gonna work on soon as the stove heats up and the baby goes to bed

scrub-buster · January 12, 2010, 07:57:00 PM

I am in the process of building my new shop. We had a pole barn built. The front is going to be a garage, but I am sectioning off the back 8' or so. My shop will be 8x24'. Just got a price locked in for concrete come March. I can't wait.

My bow building bench. To the left I have another bench for arrow building. Just to the right of the picture is a row of power tools.

Not a lot of room but I have to share with my wife's Baby. She hates it when I cover it with yellow dust.

Osagetree · January 13, 2010, 04:39:00 PM

Jack, just tell her the tannin in the dust is a good preservitive. Great for the paint, tires and interior!
