Come take a tour of my small woodworking shop & layout and see what's changed in the last 1.5 years! My small shop is 11X20 and is located in the third bay of my garage. I do all of my woodworking in this shop and in this tour, I explain all of my woodworking tools, equipment, and shop furniture. If you have a small workshop and are trying to optimize your layout or space, take a look and see what ideas you can add to your shop. Also, let me know if you have any ideas of things that I should add to my shop layout in the comments!

Plans for the workbench, miter station, and flip top tool stand, are available on my website: https://www.eveningwoodworker.com/buy...

I am an engineer by day and a woodworker by night... usually after the kids are in bed and before the neighbors call the cops!

I have a passion for building things out of wood and all things woodworking. I am always looking for new projects that look fun and challenging. My woodworking inspiration comes from my kids, my wife, and the forests around my house. I consider myself a serious hobbyist and I hope you can learn something and get inspired from the projects and mistakes that I make. I will also show you how I organize and work in my small shop in 1 bay of my garage. I will share videos of my past, current, and future woodworking projects with the goal of getting you out in the shop making sawdust!
