No Space? No Problem. Here’s How to Build a Professional Shop Anywhere.

The "Small Shop" Struggle

Most woodworkers dream of a massive, 2,000-square-foot commercial space. But the reality for 90% of us is a corner of the garage, a cramped basement, or even a small shed.

The biggest challenge isn't the lack of space—it's the lack of organization. Without a plan, your shop becomes a cluttered mess where you spend more time looking for your tape measure than actually cutting wood.

How to Maximize Every Square Inch:

• Mobile Bases: Put every heavy tool on wheels. If it doesn't move, it's in the way.
• Vertical Storage: Your walls are your best friend. Use French cleats or pegboards for everything.
• Multi-Purpose Benches: Your assembly table should also be your outfeed table and your storage cabinet.
