Couple of years ago I had slapped a little room together in the shop for the Mrs to store her craft stuff. Well she got a lot of it moved into the spare room she's using as 'her' shop. The room in my shop was approximately 6'x10', and being as she no longer needed all that room, I got to do a little rearranging .
First up was tearing down the walls...
Then once I got the remaining storage items all packed onto some shelving, I used the 2x4's & osb to create some doors...
Next was to add some wheels I had lying around to each of the three doors, and dadoed out an upper & lower track...
and wah-la...sliding doors, hillbilly style
Which now allows me enough room to rip 8'rs on both the table saw & the radial arm saw.
Still have a bunch to do yet, re-position the outlet and switch, re-hang a couple of ceiling florescent lights etc. etc.
The new storage is about 2'x8' so I gained quite a bit, or at least enough for now The mini joiner/TS & the band-saw are on wheels, so when she needs access, it shouldn't be a problem.....Me so happy!
