Men tend to make something for the home and for the soul, so having your own workshop in the yard is both a benefit and a pleasure. To organize a convenient separate place for minor fixes, repairs and hobbies, you need to determine where to start and what is needed for this.
Instructions
Step 1
Take care of the room first. Think about which of the buildings on your site you can safely take and convert to a workshop. If there are none, then you have to build it yourself. To do this, decide on the area. The workshop should be large enough so that you can move freely between workbenches and machines and work comfortably behind them. You should also consider whether your place will have any additional functions, for example, it will also serve as a warehouse for materials.
Step 2
Determine what large objects you plan to place in the workshop: for example, a workbench, lathe or sawmill. Fold up their areas and add bedside tables, shelves and cabinets to the resulting number. Add the same amount to the resulting figure - this will be the necessary square for a workshop convenient for you. You will place the machines in it later, as it will be more convenient and convenient for you to work. If the sawmill is part of your plans, remember that you will need to install it in the center, opposite the exit. But in general, the layout and size of the room depends on the type of activity you want to do.
Step 3
It is better to build a workshop from a cinder block, since this material is cheap and durable. Take care of insulation and, of course, sound insulation, so that the sound of hammer blows, the roar of a sawmill or a grinder will not drive your household crazy. Make the floors wooden: they are warm, and concrete will make the room damp and cool. For comfortable work on cold winter evenings, you can use infrared heaters or, as a last resort, a convector. For lighting, circular fixtures built into the ceiling and walls are best suited. The most important thing is that your work areas have a good flow of light.
Step 4
There will also be a variety of small tools in the workshop. Give him a certain place, otherwise he will create a mess on the workbench. You can nail rails with nails onto the wall, on which you will hang it. For drills, screwdrivers, grinders, select a rack or a separate cabinet.
Step 5
In order to correctly acquire and assemble the necessary tools, make a list of their priority needs. Get the minimum of the first points to begin with. Then, gradually over the course of 2-3 years, buy the rest. As a result, you will have your own comfortable workspace for performing various tasks and doing what you love. Here you can start teaching your little sons to work with their hands.
