BASEMENT WORKSHOPDesign and Implementation
![Page 2: Basement Workshop](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102806/558987ccd8b42a2f278b464a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
For eight years, my workshop dream kept the stress of my job at tolerable levels.
Reading on the internet to get ideas, deciding which tools were the best value and to simply day dream about a future shop.
Spread sheets, drawing, plans, detailed documentation of ideas; all sustained the years when I could only plan for a future shop.
Stage One Dreaming

The Major Considerations
• Environment – Heating and Air Conditioning– Management of Noise– Light Artificial and Natural– Dust Control– Electrical Power – Cleanup facility – Fire Alarms and Fire Extinguishers
![Page 4: Basement Workshop](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102806/558987ccd8b42a2f278b464a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Heating and Air Conditioning
Perhaps the best reason to place a workshop in the basement is how easy it is to keep the temperatures constant winter and summer.
If you have a forced air furnace; it is best to eliminate return air registers within the shop to isolate dust from entering the furnace ducts.
![Page 5: Basement Workshop](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102806/558987ccd8b42a2f278b464a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Management of Noise
One of the primary problems comes from the harmonic vibrations that are set up in sheetrock when big machinery runs inside the workshop. You have to dampen the opportunity of those vibrations to influence the floor joists; thus, keeping the vibrations within the shop itself.
![Page 6: Basement Workshop](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102806/558987ccd8b42a2f278b464a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sill foam cut into strips and stapled to the joists and studs before sheetrock is installed; isolates harmonic vibration

Plywood scrap panels placed behind the sheetrock allows for the hanging of
cabinets and pictures in a solid medium

Placing machines that produce a lot of noise in enclosures or if possible away from the shop

An Air Compressor is an ideal device to move to a more remote location and a solenoid can be used to remotely control it. Here the compressor
is in the garage and the air distributed throughout the workshop

Color temperature of lighting makes a BIG difference, and is measured in Kelvins (K)
Daylight Fluorescent Lamp or bulbs usually run 4100 Kelvin.
Temperature Source 1700 K Match flame 1850 K Candle flame 2800–3300 K Incandescent light bulb 3350 K Studio "CP" light 3400 K Studio lamps, photofloods, etc. 4100 K Moonlight, xenon arc lamp 5000 K Horizon daylight 5500–6000 K Typical daylight, electronic flash 6500 K Daylight, overcast 9300 K CRT screen

It is possible with enough lighting to make the workshop shadow free.
This requires some serious planning and careful installation.
More is always better when it comes to light

Plywood frames inserted between joists provide a solid base for attaching
light fixtures

DUST Control
Cyclone Dust Collector is the best solution for managing dust within your shop.
Buy the biggest dust collector you can afford
Use shop Vac by attaching the vacuum to small power tools like sanders and routers to get maximum dust pickup.
An overhead dust pickup keeps the air in the shop much cleaner when using big machines

Access
• Basement Shops usually have a major drawback - the ability to move large machines in and out of the space easily and safely.
• Moving equipment around by yourself is usually difficult.
• The access path is a major consideration.– Stairs should be reinforced– An alternate method for heavy items is preferred
![Page 22: Basement Workshop](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102806/558987ccd8b42a2f278b464a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Alternate Path
A 4 x 5 foot access shaftFrom the garage floor To the basement, with a Three ton chain hoist overThe top allows machines To be lowered from garageThe basement.

The Next Major Consideration is the Selection of Tools, Benches and
Cabinets
The stationary Tools Table Saw, jointer, thickness planner,drill press, band saw, shaper, router
table,sander
The Cabinets, Storage and Workbenches
Work Organizers and Jigs

Storage Cabinets
Every shop ends up with A fine selection of junk.Objects that cannot be Thrown away and must be Stored. This was my solutionThese were completely made From scraps that I had on hand.The doors are “entry styled” Raised Pecan panels.The plywood cabinets and shelvesAre all scrap wood.

Sharpening Bench
The sharpening systems include three granite lapping blocks which Are a bit larger than a full sheet of sandpaper. Normally I use 1,0006,000 and 9000 grit paper for the scary sharp system. There is a bench Grinder, buffer, and drill doctor; plus diamond honing stones.
