My workshop isn’t the extravagant, spacious haven you might see in those polished YouTube videos. While those workshops boast big power tools, ample space, and flat surfaces, mine is a bit different. I operate out of the basement beneath a 110-year-old house perched on a hill. Originally, the basement wasn’t intended for use, so I’ve had to make do with a partially leveled and concreted area, navigating around house piles that add both challenge and character to my projects. It’s a constant work in progress, but I manage to get things done, even though space is at a premium.

Despite the limitations, I’ve gradually built up my collection of tools and machinery to suit my needs and fit within the confines of my workshop. If you’re curious, you can check out the tools I use by clicking here.
