The "Secrets" Of Small Shop Setups

My students tell me daily how they don’t have enough space to build the workshop they “really want”…

I always tell them that even a 6x6-foot space can make a functional woodworking shop.

They rarely believe me at first… it always takes some time to convince them.

But the truth is the truth.

Optimized small-space workshops are not as difficult as you might think.

But that’s not to say they aren't challenging…

Because they certainly ARE.

Among these challenges:

1. Tool selection – Small areas require extra planning when buying and arranging tools. Especially the larger power tools that take up more room.

Of course, you want to take advantage of every square inch of space you have… but that is very difficult without creating custom benches and work shelves.

2 – Dust/ Ventilation – Smaller areas are far more prone to dust buildup. And this can quickly affect your health… so it’s very important to filter your air using any number of possible options.

But the problem is… most of these options… like a dust filtration system... also add more noise to your close-in work area. And that makes for one annoying headache-inducing experience.

3 – Maneuverability & Safety – Being able to move wood on and off tools and benches safely is priority #1.

But it’s harder to do that without adequate space. One mishap is all it takes to seriously injure yourself!

Given enough motivation…. and planning… these challenges can be overcome… and even a small 6x6 feet area can be turned into a productive, organized, and safe woodworking shop.

And you don’t have to learn how to do that through trial and
error like I did.

Because I’ve created a new guide for the purpose of “digitizing”
my private one-on-one coaching into something very affordable.

I call it Ultimate Small Shop.

And inside this guide, I solve all of these challenges for you… and I show you exactly what to do to set up a functional and well-organized shop in a small space
