I am going to try to film the Monthly shop tours the first weekend of each month.
December was a month of hurrying to finish Christmas gifts, some didn't make the deadline, but I am close to having them done.
In this tour you can see I've done a little cleaning, and added a much needed storage area for kindling and other fire related items. Hopefully as I work in the shop this month I can make some big changes to how things are stored and do a better job of cleaning up when I am done for the day.
Last night after cleaning my mess from the weekend I decided to make a short shop tour video and took some still pictures as well. I am not proud of how messy some areas are in the shop, but most the time I choose to build rather than organize.
Any way, My shop is a 20'x24' metal building (it is an enclosed carport). It has 1" foam insulation against the metal. I use a wood stove for heat. The shop is mainly for wood working, but has to store a lot of other stuff and is used to work on tractors/mowers.

My current workbench, a 4'x by 2' piece of counter top on a frame built from 2x4's and 2x2's all just screwed together. I built these back before I was woodworking and just needed work surfaces to tinker on. Hopefully A real bench will replace this this summer
3 file cabinets for parts storage and my shop fridge.

I spent some time this weekend cleaning in the shop, I know the pictures don't look that way, but I actually picked up a lot of tools from my recent projects and put them in their rightful spots. I need to make some more shelving and maybe some cabinets so I can get more organized.
